"Would it be ok with you mister if I steal this gun and use it to hold up the corner kwikimart?" "No, that would NOT be acceptable" "Darn, you never let me do ANYTHING pfft" I have never understood gun licenses - bad people don’t ask permission for anything do they?

“Would it be ok with you mister if I steal this gun and use it to hold up the corner kwikimart?”

Not that I ever use the darn things -- we inherited them from my wife's father, when he passed away. But there's a whole other story I'll have to spin out some time, my interview to be armed. The officer was actually very polite :) At least they don’t keep charging me each year for my shotgun license, Chris!

The liberals are constantly nipping at the population with cries for more taxes, tighter gun control, less individual responsibility by way of more regulations, limitations, laws, etc. It's easy to forget that we still have much more freedom than a lot of countries. This TV tax is outlandish! It's insanely Big Brother. I'm starting to recall some of the reasons we stuck it to the redcoats way back when :) I often feel fed up with the laws in the US, particularly in California.
