The Blue Board

This is my surprised face

You can buy guns illegally just as you can buy drugs, dogs, sex, anything. I sold my Glock to a buddy and it cost $35 in fees and he had to wait 10 days for the gun that was held at the licensed shop. There will always be people who deal black market. Criminals end up with weapons. It's a price we pay for our freedom to own weapons and even if private ownership of guns was forbidden there would still be millions of underground weapons most of them being used for crimes against unprotected citizens.

Here's the deal. It worries me that people want to take gun ownership away from law abiding citizens. As for the criminals, I don't worry about them. They'll find a way to get guns no matter what law is passed. They're criminals. That's what they do.

Edit: I live I Georgia which has great gun laws. No 10 day waiting period, just a background check and you're good to go. Buying a smith and Wesson M&P15 next week.

Georgia is also trying to get rid of the licensing requirements for carrying a weapon either concealed or unconcealed for 'lawful gun owners' with the Constitutional Carry Act in the State House. It's House Bill 679 if you are interested in looking it up.

I will. That sounds like something I can get behind.

That sounds like a terrible idea. More people carrying guns out in the open?

Criminals not afraid to carry guns out in public because the police can't possibly check everyone with a gun to see if they have a permit.

Why doesn't everyone also pull a Tennessee and let people carry guns into bars? =/

better to have one, and not need it, than to need one, and not have it imo

I live in florida and if youre not a felon youre good to go here. Just the way I like it.
Nothing against the police but they are only good for filling out the paper work after the crime when it comes to protecting yourself.
Not saying they dont do anything because they do, but If my life is in danger I want it to be in my hands to protect myself.
Criminals wont wait on you to make that 911 call.

Disagree with that statement because when people get hammered they tend to disregard those things, and every night somebody in a bar is drunk enough that if they had a gun, they might get it out.

I don't care if you have a license or not, no one should have a gun in a bar. Leave it in your car if you have to have it close by.

Also, I fully support every American's right to own a gun, but we need to do a better job enforcing our current laws and certainly not relax them any. We also need to better monitor internet gun sales obviously.

Do you not get what I'm saying?

People who are too wasted to realize they're about to start a bar fight would IGNORE THIS.

It isn't the sober people you would have to worry about.

And they would be brought up on murder charges, but I get what you are saying.

Maybe it should be up to the establishment to allow weapons or not. I don't know, just don't take away my guns. I don't even want to carry it around at all times.

I used to be. Haven't had to qualify in years. I could still shoot the wings off a nats ass at 300 yards though. ;)

I made expert my 3rd year in. I did love the badge.
