My home. We believe our handguns make a nice fashion statement.
“They will model their concealed-carry statute on New York City’s rules. Don’t expect “shall issue” CCW to come from this.”
I disagree. Of course Illannoy will do what they can to frustrate the right to bear arms, but the may-issue game is about to die as well; there is a court decision in MD that is turning that game on it’s ear.
More importantly, the culture has shifted. Guns are very popular right now and politicians outside of the bluest areas aren’t interested in getting in the way.
they’ll make it so expensive and so much paper work there that many will say screw this
I have always said the ability to accessorize separates us from the lower animals. :-)
I disagree, Army. The United Nations will NOT suppress our 2nd Amendment in my lifetime, and I have about 15 years left. With so many guns and ammunition being bought since Obambi took office, it's apparent that The People are getting tired of collectivism, but ready. And no, I don't think a CWII is coming, but a RWII, well...who knows if the States are ready?
I see a blue helmet or a hevlar with a US flag patch on my street to enforce UN law, that's the day I die. Yes, easy to say for a non-combatant aviation Swabbie. Still, I've lived a full life and the day I see them coming for me or mine or my possessions, it's time to check out. Sure I just got put up to the top on some database, but I really no longer care. Hi guys!
Good one!
