It’s not a “right” if you have to beg the government for permission to do it.
Teeth gritted??? Seriesly?
Question for all shooting FReepers: Have you EVER gritted your teeth while aiming a firearm? ANY firearm? (For veterans, I include in "firearm" any heavy weapons: machineguns, artillery, ICBM ...)
I guess that this is in Kentucky, although it isn’t readily apparent.
“The first of 20 shots struck the target’s lower torso.”
“Good shot grouping, but why all in the groin area?”, asks the instructor.
“I kept thinking of my ex-husband”, she replied.
ATTENTION: Bucks County, Pennsylvania residents.
It is a breeze getting your CC permit at the Sheriff’s office in the Doylestown Courthouse. If you go in the main entrance (from Court Street), take the elevator down to the 1st floor (yes, “down” to the 1st floor) and the Sheriff’s office is right there. You just need your drivers license with Bucks Co. address, or a utility bill, or some way of proving you are a Bucks County resident. Also, take two names, addresses, and phone numbers of a couple of friends (non-family members). There’s a 1-page form to complete where you say you’re not a drug addict, a drunk, a criminal, or a nut. There’s also a space to list your two friends. (The friends are not contacted or anything - - you could probably make up a couple of names, but why screw around?) Takes less than 2 minutes to complete the form.
Remember - - you do not have to take any safety courses, or have a hunting license, or anything like that. You do not have to give any reason for applying for the CC permit. You don’t even have to own a gun. They do the computer “background check”, take your picture, and issue you the laminated permit for your wallet on the spot. You can be in and out of there in 20 minutes with your CC permit in hand. Total cost is $20, cash only. Permit good for 5 years, then renew.
I urge all Bucks County residents to go get their CC permits. I’ve been getting mine there for 25 years and it’s always been a pleasant experience. The people at the Sheriff’s office are courteous and professional.
