guns
ive been reading and it seems as if anyone can pick up a gun and have a concealed weopon.
what the deal?
in america which parts or states allow you to carry concealed weopons?
and can you buy sub machine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, rpgs, gernades and explosives?
in england small calibre guns and other concealed weopons where outlawed along time ago and over a few years the amout of gun crime seemed to be reduced. but then again gun crime in england was already quite low so i don't know exactly how much gun restriction helped.
do you think the same could happen in other parts of the world.

As far as i know bro South Florida was the first state that offered a concealed weapons licence. If not, who cares.. There are a lot of states now that offer a CWL.
With a concealed weapons licence there is no waiting period to buy a firearm..ie: hand gun(semi-auto), rifle or shotgun. U cant own an automatic weapon, rpg and or any explosives even with a CWL.

I, could set here and post outside statistical facts /links all day on the evils of guns, or the lack of them. Everything is a statistic these days, however I don't personaly see how taking away our right to own a firearm for the protection of ourselves or our property is going to change those numbers.
Most people who own firearms for that purpose aren't going out looking for someone to kill or wound, they/we have them to protect our selves from those who dare to come into our homes with the intent to harm or rob.
If you take in account that The United States Of America is the largest of all the countries included in all these studies, common sense would tell you that naturally the numbers will be higher than that, of another due to the fact that we are more populated???RIGHT??
Also most of these studies fail to report opposing numbers because they have a hidden agenda, they don't list how many home burgularies where an intruder was simply frightened away / or slightly wounded just by the owner letting him know they had a weapon. Nor do they report how many of the gun crimes were self defence, where someone was avoiding a rape or mugging. They just start tossing up numbers and not facts.
I'm all for the background checks, waiting periods exc... to help ensure that weapons of any kind don't fall into the wrong hands, because it is those people who are basically committing these crimes, they base their numbers on. However they always manage to find them one way or another don't they? As they would should they ban ordinary joes to own a firearm, these same people will still get hold of weapons, needless to say.
Besides that it is my opinion that if guns were outlawed the killing may or may not go down, however another would rise, it's been studied if I recall the gun crimes went down only slightly while home invasions and property theft, as well as auto thefts raised conciderably.

Nice post, Sierra... It's our constitutional right to bear arms, and I wonder how many people who would want to deny us that right would put up a sign in their yard that said "No Guns In this House!" If you want to see what increased gun ownership in an area does, look at Kennesaw,GA (a suburb of Atlanta just north of where I live). In 1982 they passed a gun law saying that every resident HAD to own a firearm. Look at the statistics at the bottom of this page...

The right to concealed carry is handled on a state by state basis. Individual states also determine whether or not they will allow the ownership of class III or NFA items such as silencers, full-autos, and explosive devices.
If the state allows the ownership of NFA items, and very lengthy and in depth background check is undertaken. The BATFE (formerly the ATF) is in charge of this investigation. In order to complete the application, you must get a few sets of fingerprints taken, two passport photos, the signature of either the Sheriff or the Chief of police (they don't have to give it to you either...they can simply refuse because they don't like the way you look). Before filling out the paperwork, you must pay for the item, which sits in the dealer's store until your application comes back approved. You send in 200 bucks with the application, and wait up to 6 months for the background check to be completed.
Once approved, the tax stamp must be kept with the NFA item at all times. Failure to do so can result in a 10 year jail term and a $250,000 fine (mandatory).
As for purchasing a standard (non-NFA) firearm, one must be 18 years old in order to purchase long guns (rifles and shotguns). In order to purchase a handgun, one must be 21 years old.
The CCP requirements are different in each state. In GA, we simply have to submitt fingerprints, pay the fee, and wait 2-4 months on the background check. In other states, you have to take classes on concealed carry laws and on shooting. Texas has one of the best CCP setups anywhere. It requires classrooom time and range time, as well as the background checks. I would be in favor of using this as the standard for all states, and having the license reciprocate across state lines much easier than it does right now.

just as an aside the constitutional right to own a gun was an ammendment put in the consitution to ensure the passage of the newly formed constitution. the stronger constitution left many scared that rights would be threatened. this is one of the many amendments that ensured the ratification by all states. it is archaic and does need revision so that criminals dont get their hands on guns.

my point was that they dont make there iwn guns they get them from somewhere, if you limit the places where they can get them there will be less guns on the street. IE: longer waiting periods for a more extensive back ground check, place limits on sales at gun shows, etc. there has to be a legal means of getting the weapons somewhere down the line for criminals.

they are buying them illegally now.....in other words, they are either stealing them or buying them on the street.....which is already against the law. So, if you have longer waiting periods on buying a gun legally, who really gets the benefit there?

These people falsify documentation, and purchase stolen weapons with money made from stealing the average joe blind, they are ruthless and will find a way around the system. They have a friend file the paperwork, then report the gun stolen...so on and so forth, so you see they will always be armed, why shouldn't the law abiding citizens, be able to excercise their right to bare arms, and defend themselves??
