Reading some of the news articles around here, kids as young as 13 are already enjoying Constitutional Carry.

I think that gun owners are their own worst enemy. Here we have someone who is a member of a gun forum and presumably a gun owner, writing to a state Governor, asking him to veto a pro gun bill. I think training requirements and background checks are an infringement on a God given right. When a gun owner supports that kind of thinking, it puts him firmly in bed with a bunch of anti gun people that do not want us to own any guns. I have not yet met anyone who favors back ground checks to buy guns that can explain to me how someone that can not be trusted with a gun should not be in jail. You are perfectly safe with a knife, ax, car or chainsaw, no danger to anyone, but a gun makes you a menace. That is classic anti-gun thinking.

My state is constitutional carry. I don’t think there’s been an uptick in illegal gun use by anyone other than the problem children who are otherwise committing other crimes despite laws that tell them not to. Most of them are already prohibited from possessing a firearm anyway. For the ones who are still young and impressionable, firearms safety education and laws need to return to public arenas, including school curricula. And the “Thall shalt nots…” need to be taught first at home.
It meant able-bodied adult male with a functioning firearm when the Bill of Rights was written. Your beliefs are wrong on this matter. You have to use the definitions of the time to understand the intent written.
Contrary to popular communist beliefs, no written works are living documents, and are not meant to be interpreted. They are meant to be understood in the vernacular and customs of the time they were written.
I am a retired police lieutenant and now a Constitutional lawyer who’s represented both private citizens and police officers who have issues with the government. I tell you, based on much experience, all gun laws regulate only the law-abiding. Violent criminals go about armed. Permit laws are obeyed only by those who aren’t likely to purposefully commit a crime. It’s still a crime to carry a handgun in Constitutional Carry Alabama and Tennessee, with or without a permit, if you’ve been convicted of a felony. In Alabama, the decidedly Republican legislature and Governor Ivey just removed “violent” as the adjective to “felony.” Since I wore a shield, most young police officers and deputies have been taught to see themselves as “law enforcement” officers, like Feds. Word Pictures: Andy Griffith was a peace officer; he used the law to keep the peace. Barney Fife was a law enforcement officer; he used the law to find a reason to put people in jail. Be way more fearful of government than any fellow citizen. Remember, “Government, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
I don’t even mind the background checks, though they are infringements. But wanting to know the make, type, serial number of the piece and address of the owner has the strong and unpleasant odor of tyranny.

To the OP. Maybe you should read the Constitution and then go look at the oath you took at one time to protect it. The 2A IS Americas CCW permit. If someone has nefarious intentions, do you think a permit and a subsequent background check is going to dissuade them from packing a gun? I couldn’t disagree with this post more.
Correct. Few, in 1800, had what we call a high school education today. But nearly all native born Americans who could read knew what the Bill of Rights said regarding speech, worship and the right to go about armed. Not until the country was flooded with work hungry lawyers (I passed the State Bar) and immigrants from totalitarian nations who’d missed a rudimentary education in the U.S., did the clear meaning become obscured.
tygar, I was actually 17 when I join the Army. I may not have been all that mature stepping off the bus at Ft. Leonard Wood, but the DIs forged a new me in a matter of weeks.
Kids today are rarely seen playing in their neighborhoods. Your last sentence addressed today's concerns.

Bear with me for a minute.
In NC if you have a CHP it is your NICS check. You still have to fill out a 4473. Privates sales of any guns require neither. Cash and carry applies.
If you don’t have a concealed license, a BGC and 4473 are required when purchasing from a gun store, FFL. Again, private sales require neither.
I believe I have that right, I think.
WELL SAID ! ! !
Especially that last part.

Yeah, seems like stolen vehicles, cinder blocks, Molotov cocktails, and edged weapons are favorite tools of anarchists and terrorists the last few weeks. Checking for serial numbers is proving problematic.

I understand your thoughts. My perspective is it is mental illness that drives a human to kill another human in cold blood, mass murders. All the laws in the world won’t prevent that from happening. Going as far as eliminating all firearms from the population will not stop a mentally ill person from mass murder. Establishing any kind of law that restricts our freedom to bear arms simply takes away our ability to protect ourselves from the mentally ill. They aren’t going away and having background checks, firearm registration, licensing requirements, etc. do not make this world more safe. The mentally ill will find a way. And with Covid debacle , social media, people thinking there are more than two genders appears mental illness is on the rise.

Firearm registration is simply a Segway to confiscation. All that registration does is after the crime the investigators find out who bought the firearm. Then (according to an FBI friend that worked Chicago) they find out the firearm was stolen, 95% of the guns confiscated from crime.I don’t even mind the background checks, though it is an infringement.

Pretty sure there was no background check needed for that gallon of gas and Windex bottles used recently in Colorado.

I was addressing what appears to be a statement that background checks are required for all gun sales, but they’re not required for private party.
I know you where, it just took me time to gather my thoughts, cover everything and post correct info.

When Arizona came out with canceled carry. The expectations of concerned citizens was that the gutters would be awashed in blood. We already had open carry and it was common in many areas of Arizona.
The results in allowing conceled carry was less open carry. Thats it no blood in the streets. Of course to get a permit, there was a charge for the background check, and you had to take a class. So their were some steps that discouraged people, or made them work.
after a few years of positive results off canceled carry. Arizona decided to have Constitutional carry. Just let people carry. No permit. No training. No making people prove they could hit a target.
Blood in the streets! Uncontrollable people untrained carrying loaded guns in public places. Brace yourself. Nothing happend.
Some people choose to seek out some training. Most just carry.
Then you have to think about it. We had open carry for decades. No training requirments, no permits. There were no issues. All we did was allow ladies to carry in their purses and the men in pockets or under shirts and jackets.
We have an over abundance of people who have very low opinions of people. They feel people most have controls and only certain people are should have some privileges.
People are actually much smarter then they get credit for.
I say stop worrying about the guns, lower your own self-esteem l, so your able to trust others.
Now, I say put the training and controls on chainsaws! I can't believe they can just sell those things to anyone! Those things are dangerous!

I'm sorry I have not had my daily caffeine yet so if I'm repeating somebody else my apologies.
If somebody has Criminal Intent they're going to carry a gun regardless of the law.
The second thing I'm going to point out is if there was a large instance of people who were doing legal permit was carry being involved in crimes the people who want to disarm us would have it all over the news.
