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.
Oh dude. Don't even get me goin about cops.
