You know what he meant. :)
“Then”
Agreed.
“Hey man, I have double/single action hand guns so I don’t pop off a toe when I retrieve one from my pocket. I just don’t feel comfortable carrying locked and cocked.”
LOL :). I forgot to include sarc/ at the end of my post. Actually, I own some double/singles, a couple are Beretta 92F and Walther PPK. For pocket carry I often drop a Colt Pocket Lite which is single action in a pocket. But, I don’t carry it locked and cocked either. As you, I don’t fee comfortable dong it. I do carry it with a round in the chamber and hammer down though. Concerning toes; once you’ve shot them off you don’t have to worry about them any more :) I used to know an old guy who had worked n the oil patch when he was a young buckaroo and lost a couple of fingers when throwing the chain. Said the good thing about it was that e didn’t have to worry about’em anymore. Same logic :)
LOVE that idea; excluding military, of course (can be killed to protect this Country, there are ‘benefits’)
Wow. I would be down to two firearms. The rest of my guns are younger than that.
How about following the Constitution instead?
The ONLY reason you should not be ‘allowed’ to own a firearm, since any OTHER weapon will do in a pinch, eh?, is to keep the offender in JAIL.
If they’ve done their time, they are Free Citizens again and afforded the Rights all others can utilize.
Scripter for President!
Truth- The 3rd Rail
Lets get the facts straight before we speak. The bill does NOT ban people under the age of 25 from owning a firearm. It does use the age of 25 as a starting point for the next condition.
That condition is being
"...has not attained 25 years of age, and has been adjudicated by any court as having committed an offense that would have been a crime of violence (as defined in section 16) if committed by an adult;"
As I stated in a prior post, Form 4473 already bars violent felons from owning guns.
Maybe I’m in big trouble. My youngest gun is 27 y/o.
You made me laugh! :-)
Would that cover all law men/women,also?
I have a 22 year old Grandson in law enforcement. He is anti-Dog shooter.
