Oh how nice.

But soon, ammo will be $5 a round........

Looks like I'll be able to bring my new baby eagle 40mm semi auto when I visit NP now. I'll feel a lot safer now as I am more concerned as a single woman against all the weirdo’s I've come across vs any wild life.

I have a Lab and German Shepard I can take in the national forest and I know they would defend me with their life against a mountain lion or bear but I put much more value in their lives than a physho in the wilderness

However, a handgun permit issued by one state will not be valid at federal parks and refuges in another state unless a reciprocity agreement exists between the home state and the visited state.

What the he!! does it matter, for come the 20th of January, confiscation begins.

Sadly enough, many see it coming and are buying out the market of firearms via immediate concern without thought of loss of their right to own. (many who voted for the empty suite to boot)

I think that a "40mm" semi-auto would qualify as a "Giant Eagle." ;-)

[sionnsar]

I’m not down on the ruling — but it’s way too little IMHO.

They will give their life for you out of love via loss of battle...

um, don't ya think a grenade launcher is a little overkill?

Um... That's "empty suit."

The Scots had a king like that once -- John Balliol (ca.1249 – ca.1314) is known to this day as "Toom Tabard" (empty coat).

[Glacier Honey]

WHOOPS!!!! I meant 40 caliber!! May I blame it on being a girl? ;) I always use that excuse when I can.

I am totally comfortable about revolvers as that is what I grew up around but this is my first semi auto and I just finished my gun safety class for a permit to carry.

I bought some snap caps and practice every day so I can feel 100% confident when I carry

Rather than defend them during any attack, you will sacrifice them in order to satisfy your ego and self-righteousness.

Note: Always carry a laminated card with current laws and codes in case
you run into Barney Fife. Trust me. I carry a cheat card when I go fishing and
panning in Northern California for protection against ignorant officers
and or Forestry service personal. California laws actually protect your right to carry
a side arm or rifle if you're going to, or coming from fishing. "not driving, but walking".

“Rather than defend them during any attack, you will sacrifice them in order to satisfy your ego and self-righteousness.”

Are you kidding me? What kind of comment is that? I would never sacrifice my beloved pets during any attack whether against man or beast!

I know from experience that a mountain lion or bear will GENERLY not attack a person when more than one dog is present.

Your comment is ridiculous.

[Waco]

But, but, will pot farm operators be exempt from these rules? Thought so.

[o_zarkman44]

“But soon, ammo will be $5 a round........”

I guess if that happens, heaven forbid, we all become much better shots.

[Glacier Honey]

Yes - your are so right. I take them camping and hiking with me all the time and I would defend them against any danger with the best of my ability

[snowsislander]

Congrats on your new gun --- I have been thinking about adding to the collection myself.

That is one of the nuttiest things I have ever heard. You are a Kook with a capital K. You read way too much into what she was saying.

[driftdiver]

Gee they are consenting to letting us exercise a Constitutional right under some circumstances and when they feel like it.

Whats not to like?
