Ok, so I lived there watched CALIFRONIANS come into two small towns, buy up all the cheap real estate (according to them) Ran our taxes up, changed our local politics,Brought in their liberal enviormentalism, same sex marriage, and all their other liberal B.S.! What should I believe you or what I experienced?!

There's no question that Colorado has become a blue state. In the '80s we had a Republican majority in both houses, a Republican governor, 2 Republican senators, and 5/2 split of Rep/Dem representatives.

Now we have a Democratic majority in both houses, a Democratic governor, 2 Democratic senators, and 2/5 split of Rep/Dem representatives. The exact opposite.

“why would you apply for a CCL..? “

It is called “insurance”. Insurance against the day that you use that weapon or do get stopped and searched or have some idiot liberal whacko call the cops because she saw your gun.

I once changed my mind about turning left. A cop thought he saw me swerve and pulled me over for a DUI check. Of course, he searched me. When he asked, “Do you have any
weapons?” I got a good chuckle by responding, “Which kind?”

The fact is, a CCW can prevent an unlawful weapons charge which can be a minor offense or a serious felony, depending on the State and where the stop happens. Why take the chance?

I think if I were a firearms manufacturer I would stop all shipments to any distributers or dealers in any state that voted blue.

I think if you were a firearms manufacturer you'd be out of business, since you'd be voluntarily removing yourself from over half of your potential market.

BLOAT!

Well....I appreciate that.

But I live in a very rural area...and like I've said...I've never been searched.

And I'm not going to place a neon sign on my name..for the Feds to come look.

I suppose....one could just go thru the CCL classes and get one..and then tell them that you disposed of all your guns when Obama or the next POTUS comes for them.

I know they are coming.....sooner or later. History is a good teacher..if we abide by it.

I probably will take my chances...

But I thank you for your post........

Let THEM come get them if they want them.

THEM: Obama's "citizen army" that is better equipped and funded that the U.S. Military. Obama will empty out the gettos, put brown shirts on them, give them all an M-16, and send them door to door across the country to confiscate our weapons.

Hey, could happen.

Nice format job there, ace.

As opposed to target or hunting rifles.

i>Then, get a permit in a state with reciprocity (if CA is anything like NY, no states honor their permits) and you can carry in any state that honors theirs. Florida and Utah are the two biggest CCW permits with reciprocity, I was told.

I didn't even know there were reciprocity agreements on concealed carry. Interesting. Do I need to live in those states (FL, UT) to get one there?

[CottonBall]

If I don't go around showing my gun to people....NOBODY knows I have it. And best of all...the feds don't know either.

hmmmmm, having the feds not know is a very good thing. But then, I was thinking like a conservative - that I should follow the law, ;) Silly me - why should we bother when nobody else does?

[Osage Orange]

I'm a law abiding person....

For the most part.....

But I am convinced....and past history ( recent and not so recent..) will back me up.

Our leaders...whether it's Obama or the next POTUS, or the next...are going to come after our guns.

It's a given.

I think the times are changing. It’s time for more civil disobedience, often. And if it has to turn uncivil, so be it.

[Charlespg]

The more guns out there the better for us and the harder for the demo craps

Believe what we all have experienced

Lawsuit aims to test Iowa's concealed weapons law

Here's a case to watch.

We had a friend here on election day, and he just happened to have a .22 semi-auto handgun and 12 gauge shotgun. We had a great time shooting at targets, as it was my wife’s first time shooting. He sold us the shotgun, and the next thing is to go shopping.
