On the other hand, since I live in a “may issue” state, a national carry permit might not be such a bad idea.
I might actually be able to get one. /shock
You need to live in a “shall issue” state.
At the time, I am sure the Johnson administration idea for a national gun license was to follow the British model.
Make the license relatively easy, but "may issue" at first. Then keep making it more and more restrictive, until very few have it.
Move or fight. There should be zero weapons laws. The ATF needs to be shuttered. It is that simple.
Do you really think having a federal National Carry “permit” will end up giving you more rights? All it would do would be to take the Sates out of the equation and give the Feds the total control they want to disarm everyone.
