Another idiot with a gun

[Ban Hammer 14,251]

Actually I'm not...I said state laws that pertain to receiving a gun PERMIT. The form you link to is for over the counter firearms sales by a retail business which has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I don't know if you are aware I am allowed to buy a gun from an individual owner and he does not have to ask any questions to sell it to me. Then I go to the state and get myself a gun permit, and all states have different laws pertaining to gun ownership. Even though the state laws say individuals are not allowed to sell firearms to a person who is mentally incompetent, there is no way to assure it doesn't happen.

Well I bought a gun and was not even a citizen. And you guys know how much of a crazy ###### I am :lol:

There are just to many loopholes here.

lpr's can buy in many states. getting a cch may be more difficult for the lpr depending on what state they live in.

I bought my gun from a gun show.

I did go through a state background check but realistically what are they going to know about me since I am a new resident.

Excluding on VJ, I am yet to show signs of insanity.

[Heracles 417]

And I am from another developed country, so naturally I have gone through all of the proper background checks anyway. What about the illegal aliens or those from 2nd or 3rd world countries where you can pretty much buy a clean record? That is what I am concerned about.

Private sales should have to go through the appropriate background checks as do retail sales.

Neither. Hence the stupidity in the laws here. If you cannot beat the dumbc---s, might as well join them.

Isn't that along the lines of "if someone told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?"

Personally I would never do a private sale for a weapon. Never. In a pvt sale-- It's not like you can run a gunfax on it's background and it's not like they can do a nutchex on you.

Some states allow concealed carry for an LPR provided they have the training class & the concealed carry class, fingerprints and background check. It's suprising what information can be found out during the background check---especially for those of us that have been in the military, immigrated here or had anything to do with any Govt agency.

No but after doing so I realized how silly it is to allow people to store weapon after weapon at home.

As I said to Charles, maybe he can show me how a person can kill 32 people within a few minutes, using bricks.

Why? Did you shoot yourself in the foot?

If your worried about selling your firearms to some moron, take them to a FFL and run a NICS. Also make a receipt for the sale with both of the parties signing it. Then your covered.

all in a day's work for the average australian, where men are men and the kangaroos are very afraid.

I can kill far more with a car. I just have to find a tightly packed crowd and run em all down at 80 miles per hour

I'm not worried because I am not privatly buying or selling, but thanks for the tips.
