The second amendment exclude laws from prohibiting the right to bear arms. The right is assumed.
Mark them
So why do retired LE officers get to carry in 50 states but those of us who get background checks are not able to?
Another common model is City Council / County Commission => City / County Manager => Police Chief
Ah, but those places are in Texas. I was thinking Chicago, Detroit and places with very strict gun control laws and a criminal culture that takes advantage of it.
After all, just having progressives is t what makes for a Hell Hole. Their ideology has to have born fruit.
That part of the Constitution, like many others, is de facto no longer in force. States like NY, NJ, MA, RI, IL, CA, HI do not recognize the 2nd Amendment.
Dallas proper is a liberal ****hole
When I was a kid in the 60s I used to pore over the gun magazines. They all had ads for surplus guns at some great prices even adjusted for inflation.
I was attending High School and working part time at a filling station. I managed to order a 7mm Chilean Mauser. A 6.5 Swedish Mauser, an Astra 600 complete with holster and spare mag. Also a Radom, an early model at that.
That Chilean Mauser was beautiful but the Chilean Government had ground off the crest which ruined it’s value to me. It was a great shooter too.
The Radom had a broken hook on the extractor. It still functioned about half the time. I took it to a large gunsmith shop in Pensacola. They thought they could either make a new one or alter one. They never did so I picked it up and later traded it.
Open carry reciprocal as well.
Random Poland (Circle 11 factory) made some good stuff
And yeah the Postman would give it to any kid that payed for it
18k pd’s of which only 400 some odd chiefs actually sent letters...? What about the other 17000 plus who didn’t send letters?
I’m a Milsurplus collector too :)
WAY MORE PEOPLE KILLED BY OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING CARS.
POLICE CHIEFS ARE NOT BEGGING THAT DRIVERS LICENSES FROM OTHER STATES NOT BE HONORED.
mark the ones that did.
I live just north of it. Progressivism has been unable as yet to turn it into a death trap or blight. Texans are too well armed for the former.
As was observed the other day in another thread about a town council in California: it’s something that they can make the Dallas city council look good by comparison.
To be a police chief these days you generally have to be a leftest to keep your job.
I know several local Police Chief’s in CT will deny or delay anyone who who applies for their temporary pistol permit, which is required to get the “permanent” one from the State PD, even if they pass the background check. Your only recourse to to get on a long wait list for a hearing with the state, at which point if the BG check was passed the state will force them to issue it.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
— The Founding Fathers
When I was a student at Troy, the local Sportsman’s Club got the Sheriff to start issuing pistol permits. They told me to go ahead and apply.
The Sheriff’s assistant took my application and every time I stopped by to check, he told me the background check had not come back. After a couple of months the Sheriff’s wife was at the desk and when I asked, she went back and pulled it out and then filled out the form. It cost all of $5 I think.
I later decided that it was the assistant just putting me off hoping I would forget it eventually. I mentioned it to a member of the Club and he said it should not have taken more than a day. He said he would mention it to the Sheriff.

I noticed that, too.
Interesting. Why hasn't the NRA fought such a case in court?
