I happen to have a TEC-9 in my collection.

WOW, 5 people. And how many people were saved during that same time by people carrying LEGAL handguns?

Here's what one online gun information source says:

Well, if its on that new-fangled "Interweb" thingummy-bob, it must be true!

If the Brady Bunch are this looney in July, will they be leaping off of buildings come September?!

Remarkable demonstration that logic should only be practiced by licensed professionals. This might require a trip to the Logic Emergency Room.

[MikefromOhio]

So it is the President's job to hold the hand of the Congress to make sure a piece of largely ignored legislation gets reenacted?

Wonderful...the propaganda machine continues to churn....

[Centurion2000]

The applicant does not have to show any need for carrying a hidden handgun and law enforcement has no discretion to deny permits even if they think public safety may be endangered, absent a prohibiting offense.

It's called freedom, get over your pathetic, whining little fears.

I know you just post this crap for giggles, but let's not take them too seriously.

The Brady Campaign numbers around 9 people total. They'll only have 8 when Sarah finally croaks.

SOME OF THE RESULTS OF WEAKENED CONCEALED WEAPONS LAWS

Notice that only in one case did anything actually HAPPEN! And it's arguable that in that case, anyone stupid enough to shoot someone over something that inane is a threat to society with or without a handgun.

Besides, if these are the most heinous incidents that have occurred as the direct result of "weakened" concealed carry laws, it's certainly a price I'm willing to pay.

[SauronOfMordor]

Let's see, where can I start:

1. The AW Ban has no effect on the ability to carry a Tec-9 concealed. The AWB only stopped the continued SALE of certain firearms and magazines manufactored after the date the AWB took effect
2. The Tec-9 is a lousy crime gun. It's cheaply made and jams easily. The only thing going for it is its appearance
3. The list of offenses commited by CCW holders is insignificant. You can bet the house that Brady printed EVERY significant offense they ever heard of over the last umpteen years. If this is all they got, then CCW holders have a lower rate of gun crime than cops do (a significant number of cops are arrested each year for crimes including armed robbery, murdering witnesses for the benefit of drug gangs, etc)

[IronJack]

That means that if the assault weapons ban expires, a banned weapon like the Tec-9 assault pistol, equipped with a 36- or 50- round magazine, could be legally carried, concealed, into many workplaces and popular establishments crowded with people.

Psssssst. Mr. Hamm. Take out the word "legally" and you describe a situation no different than the one today. And anyone determined to wreak mayhem in the workplace or popular establishment isn't likely to concern himself with legal niceties anyway.

Would you care to look at what the AWB has NOT done???

[nonsporting]

That means that if the assault weapons ban expires, a banned weapon ..., equipped with a 36- or 50- round magazine, could be legally carried, concealed, into many workplaces and popular establishments crowded with people.

Here in Arizona, it is legal to carry an AR-15, AKM, etc. (pre- or postban) IN A NON-THREATENING MANNER. Although, I've not seen one EVER as an open carry weapon, it sure would turn some heads.

What would the mode of carry be? Slung in some manner? Australian carry? Giles tactical sling? The fact that I'm asking in a well armed open carry State, puts the lie to the Brady Bunch's mad ravings.

[Neil E. Wright]

-- An Alabama man accidentally shot himself and a bystander in a movie theater showing "102 (sic) Dalmatians," when the concealed handgun fell out of his pocket;

IIRC, in this incident, the guy carrying concealed was an off-duty POLICE OFFICER. I seem to recall that a thread was posted to FR last year on this particular incident.

In any event, as one of those "evil" concealed carry permit holders, I usually carry openly anyway. But the CCW does mean that after I fill out the BATF form 4479, I can just display my CCW and my gun guy doesn't have to run another background check on me ..... :)

Don't you love the sound of gun grabber's whining in the morning. Of course when the Ugly Gun Ban expires, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be even sweeter. :)

Oh, no!!! The HUMANITY!!!(/sarcasm)

Hey, I never thought of that, I'll have to look at them at the next Gun show after the AWB sunsets!

Seriously, if such a firearm were carried by someone who had gone through the local & FBI criminal background check to get a concealed weapons permit, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

The people who have concealed weapons permits are not the problem with US gun violence!

The lawabiding people who follow gun laws, are not the problem with US gun violence.

The problem with US gun violence is that it is for the most part committed by criminals who pay little mind to the existing laws or the laws that Brady, et. al. would like to have on the books.

Nuff said...

[dbwz]

In 35 states, the laws governing citizens carrying concealed weapons have been loosened to a ridiculous standard, with police forced to issue concealed handgun permits to virtually anyone who does not have a felony conviction. In many of those states, hidden handguns are allowed in public places like restaurants, bars, sports arenas, supermarkets and even places of worship.

I was going to suggest a campaign to send these people new panties (to replace the ones that they soil every day thinking about "hidden handguns"), but we've already seen that panties can be responsible for irrational fear and incoherent babbling as well.
