I LIVED in The People’s Republic of Zoo Jersey for 35 years and left 2 years ago because of the oppressive firearms laws and my Conservative vote being worth squat.
Moved back to PA where I grew up . PA has great firearm laws and puts the citizen first .CCW permits are easy to get through just a federal check and a chat with the county sheriff. The drawback is no training involved . Some people who have never fired a weapon qualify for CCW and that can be a potentially deadly situaion.
Zoo Jersey just passed a law out of committee yesterday that allows the Demorats to get a list of all NRA members.Look into getting out of the hellhole called Jersey . You will feel much better .
Purchase of a hangun is easy as Federal check and out the door. No Permit, no State Police Check, no FID card. Pick the weapon you want and out the door in 10 minutes . SUNDAY INCLUDED!
You can even have the neat things such as folding stock,flash supressor, bayonet lug and/or bayonet on all the fun toys (AK,SKS,Mini14,AR’s etc )
I don't really see how a training class, required only once but good for life (usually), somehow makes a person safe to carry a firearm.
There are many things that a potential concealed carrier should be proficient in. I don't think that the answer is limiting their rights until they can prove they are responsible enough to exercise them, however.
Besides, if it was such a big deal, we'd have "BLOOD IN THE STREETS" here in PA, compared to states that require training like Ohio. Why haven't we - other than the "training requirement" being pointless?
