We can conceal them too, @belemo. Concealed carry permit is included with the price of the pistol around here.

It is cool, weird and scary how it is easy to access guns in your end

I'm from California though, it's nothing like that over there. We're currently in Tennessee waiting for this world to reopen the gates. It's a trip here, my buddies, strangers, everyone around me, I know they're packin heat. It's pretty intimidating actually.

Went to a gun show a few weeks with some friends where they sell shit like 50-cal's to just anyone. I actually planned on coming back with something but got so tripped out while I was there, I stopped paying attention to the arsenol on sale and began questioning all the fruit cakes around me with loaded weapons in their belt.

It is funny and scary at the same time. Literally, anybody can walk into a shop, buy an AR and even walk the streets with it, as we saw during the BLM protests.

In fact that is not the case at all. Every "shop" is required to do federal background checks on every sale. Anyone who has ever committed a felony or been deemed insane is banned for life from purchasing or possessing any firearm. Were the protests before all the riots?

Would you rather be in Compton where just the gangbangers have guns and you can't have one? Look into how many people have been shot with .50 BMG rifles in the US. It's a number like ZERO. Why not sell them to law abiding folks?

I'm from California. Long Beach actually, LA County. More specifically, two exits from Compton. I've spent a lot of time in and around there both growing up and working. You're mistaken if you think only gangsters are carrying.

Intimated, I think that's the word I used.. pretty sure I'm free to do that. Just checkin. I have equal freedom to own (which I do), carry, etc as I do to feel intimidated by them. Remedy—stand behind my armed buddies if need be.

That and I'm still workin on how to killin'em with words

A few years ago there was a report that in LA County, with like 7,000,000 people fewer than 500 people are licensed to carry. Mostly friends of the sheriff, almost all white men, so who else is carrying? Besides those 500 people anyone carrying a gun there is a criminal. So if they are carrying then they are not doing so legally. In CA it is easy to buy a gun but actually carrying it legally is another story. Do you have a CA carry permit from LA?

Negative, I do not. I misunderstood, I thought it was my comment about the fruit cakes at the gun show that brought you here.

Correct, I was kinda leaning to that. The laws in Ca verses here in Tn are worlds apart. I've lived in a buncha states, Nevada being one, another gun friendly state, Ca is definitely one of the tightest on gun laws.

In Ca you can have'em in your vehicle, that's about it. But unloaded, and one or the other has to be out of arms reach, everything else is "illegal". Pointless defense. Why they're so different state to state, don't know. Lame. Where are you? I see you just flipped your third blockchain year, congrats.

They should be equal to or greater than Tn if you ask me, doesn't change my opinion of the fruit cakes. Just means they're equally armed coast to coast. It's a lot safer that way, I think, when you don't have to question because you already know.

there are a lot of weirdos at the gun shows, they are like the flea markets of gun sellers. That seems like it is the same everywhere. I bet nowadays with so many first timers that they are even worse. On the other hand people are almost never shot at gun shows, that's one of the safest places on Earth!
I am in MA where we also have racist cops who decide who can exercise their basic human rights. Most gun laws are designed to keep the poor and/or minorities from carrying legally.

I also live in America but where I live the permits cost over $100 USD just for the permit. They also require an expensive class and extensive background checks. And a corrupt local cop has ultimate authority over issuing the permits so often times there are racist or anti gun police chiefs who deny gun rights to black people or other people they don't like. If I lived in the state next door I wouldn't need a permit at all. The state that does not require permits has only a small fraction as much as my state that has endless gun restrictions. It took me like 11 years to get my permit so just stick with it and you will get there. Do you have hunting clubs you could join? People there will know how to navigate the gun permitting process.
