so you do not think people who arnt religious should have the right to own a gun?

those women on lifetime always screaming and bleeding because a viscous attacker is chasing her with a knife, well that is not my story.

So if more women would learn to shoot and carry a gun, then we the Lifetime channel would go out of business? Hooray!

Arizona no longer has CCW's. We've always been an open carry state, now we are also a freely-concealed carry state. I wear my .40 openly.

Arizona, Vermont, and Alaska are the only states who truly follow the constitution by allowing not only open carry, but carry concealed without a ccw.

Nevada (at least Clark County where Vegas is) is tricky because there is neither a law prohibiting open carry, nor is there a law saying that you cannot.

I have carried openly here, even in a casino, and I also have a cfp. You could technically carry an AR-15 down the Strip in plain view, although Metro may have a thing or two to say about it.

Only people who can't spell "aren't" correctly shouldn't be able to. (kidding here, my spaeling es atttrociouus at tymes as well).

Our Christian based Constitutional Republic applies to non-believers as well.

Isn't that great, not believing in God yet still being able to reap the fruits of those that did?

You're a Christian that hopefully has common sense. Spelling is inconsequential.

I carry two handguns everywhere I can legally carry them, and I try and stay away from those places anyway (post offices and schools). Sometimes I even open carry on my hip. I will defend myself and my family if needed.

You know, that would look so bizarre here, I can't even imagine what it would be like to see people walking around with guns.

Same here. I could waltz up and down the street with my rifle, but every cop in Phoenix would have something to say about it.

I can't imagine what you're describing. Arizona's the old west, a cowboy state. We have a long history and tradition when it comes to open carry.

It's simply not something you see here in Australia. Police Officers carry guns (obviously) but you never see a general citizen walking down the street with one. If they did, the area would be evacuated and he'd have a team of cops surrounding him.

You know the laws here are so crazy (as is the case with most everywhere in this country) with regard to firearms.

Registration of firearms, for example.

The law in the state of Nevada says that a person does NOT have to register handguns.

The law in Clark County says that you DO have to register handguns.

Boulder City, which is in Clark County, says that you do NOT have to register handguns.

So...If I live in Boulder City and decide to buy a handgun, do I have to register it? The city says no, the county says yes, and the state says no.

Stupid.

It looks exactly like this.

That is dumb. After the no CCW law was passed, establishment owners went insane. They began putting up signs that said "no concealed weapons allowed on premises". Now hold on.
1. How would you know they have a concealed weapon?
2. Do you really think a sign is going to stop someone?
3. Before the law was passed, how many people do you think came in carrying a concealed weapon?

I'm guessing if I did that here, the cops would stop me, even though it is perfectly legal.

However, there was an open carry walk in Indianapolis earlier this year and many of them brought loaded rifles and there were no problems.

Now THAT sounds like a good time! We need one of those here...

Who do they think they are kidding? And even if they somehow knew you were carrying concealed, the most they could do would be to charge you with a tresspassing misdemeanor.

The only ones they're kidding are themselves.

My husband was accidentally shot, and I was nearly a young widow, because of some idiot, who bought a gun on the streets, and knew nothing about gun safety. Limiting the amount of guns one can own solves nothing, as it only takes one, to injure or kill. People should be required to take a more thorough background check and an exam for a license to own a gun, just as a license to drive. If I were confronted face-to-face with an intruder in my home, I still could not pull a trigger...but that's just me! I don't have answers, but I know better gun control is needed.

Did your husband have a gun?
