After 7 1/2 month... LTC in the mail

IXLR8


This is true but no one has ever gone to jail for that year. They use it as a bargaining tool to get info from the low life that get caught doing something far worse. You would think a mandatory law would be just that. How ever if I get caught crossing the road from one of my fields to another with out a lock on my gun they can take the gun my hunting license and fine me big bucks . And this has happened to some in this great state of Taxachusetts .

yeiks... seriously? from one field to another.

Im sure glad we have open carry here in Idaho. That eliminates those other stupid laws such as your talking about. At least i could hunt without locking the gun crossing a road.

Here in Durham NC, im still waiting. I'm now past the 90 day period. Now after a couple of days just trying to get a hold of someone I was told that they didn't get all of my medical records (from places I've never been). I called the company that sends out the records and they never received request from the sheriff's office. Now back to the run around. Its beyond stupid.

Medical records? Is that the mental competency check?

For all of you who live in America, be warned that if you travel to New York State you better leave your guns home. As it has been mentioned, you can't even by a round for a 22 in NY without a permit.

I just heard from an attorney over the weekend about how a client of his was arrested for possession of a gun. The guy was from out of state and hadn't received his NYS permit to have a handgun yet. So he though he was ok just having them locked in a hidden safe in his house. Well his dad was living with him and needed an ambulance. When the police came they asked the guy if he had any weapons in the house. The guy showed him the guns and was arrested!

The attorney was commenting how in America, most states that issue a permit encourage you to not "conceal" your handgun if you're wearing it. In New York, you have to conceal it, or you could be arrested.

Yes, they do check with the local mental health agencies, and if you mention a mental issue, they dig deeper still. However, they require you to also list your family doctor, so it could be they really do mean medical records.

Three things, 1st--Why do the pig cops come on medical calls? 2nd--Why do they feel the need to ask about guns randomly, a medical call is not a hostile environment AND 3r--Why the h*ll would you ever telling someone you had a gun?

Not exactly how it works.

It sure seems like common sense that the nation's founders intended the 2nd amendment across all states, not subject to arbitrary, capricious state-by-state restrictions that have nothing in common with each other, nor are based in regional needs.

When is the U.S. Supreme Court going to stop this nonsense?

Here in Minnesota, we have a "shall issue" state law, mandatory training, and maximum 30 day waiting period from filing of training certificate to issue of conceal carry permit. Open carry was/is legal, but rarely advocated by professional self defense instructors due to probable hysteria among ignorant public.

I only open carry in the woods for protection from wolves, bears, coyotes, etc.

 

[KubotainNH]

Wow, there's some strict states listed here. Like someone else mentioned, New Hampshire is pretty easy. My son got his when he was 19, it only took a couple weeks and a bit of paperwork. Kinda funny because according to the state he is not old enough to buy a handgun. Seeing we live close to the MA border, we have to make sure we don't accidentally bring a firearm across the border. We'll see what the future holds seeing it seems the Mass libs are slowly migrating North to make the Live Free or Die state a suburb of the nanny state.

 

[ncnurseryman]

They want records of everything more or less.

 

[ncnurseryman]

Oops. My response was for polo1665. Didn't realize it was so far down already. But yes, they want all medical records, military records, everything. This is a shall issue state too, but each county sheriff can set its own timeframe. In my county it seems like they want to do anything and everything to not give it to you all the while the criminal element doesn't give a rats behind about following the law and carry one already.

I always thought that NC was a relatively free state with regard to handguns. After seeing the above, and reading the link below and all the hoops one must jump through I'm not so sure it's all that much different than CT or (gulp) MA.

[ncnurseryman]

My understanding from friends in neighboring counties is that the wait time is determined by the county sheriff. My county just happens to be eons.

It is not that time consuming or difficult but like any permit process scat can happen either by bad luck, or in some cases, deliberate slowness in some counties. To get a pistol one needs a permit and some sheriffs came up difficult and more time consuming to get the permit. The law just changed to prevent this nonsense. I don't think they updated the CCW law though.

Later,

My girl and myself got them back in about 3 weeks if i remember right ,but Tn is an open carry state and just about everyone has one under their front seat of the truck , were applying for class 3 to do some sales and repairs while you can still get a class 3 at your home and not have to have a stand alone building . i have heard they are requiring a stand alone building for gun shops in future legislation and no more home or strip mall licenses ,Has anyone heard different ?

Not sure all locations are the same, but around here Police can arrive on scene significantly in advance of the ambulance and my "pig cop" son has kept people breathing until medical personnel arrived and has provided protection for them upon arrival, never know what you will find on a call. My oldest son is an EMT and is happy to have a police presence to clear traffic, control distraught people etc.

Yes, if the police hear the call and they aren't involved with something else, they respond. As for why they asked if the guy had guns???? And of course the attorney said his client messed up. He should have said, "It's none of your business." Police are just people, some are good, and others are just power hungry.

 

[DT86]

:confused3: 3R, I never said all cops are pigs, certainly not your son since I have no idea who he is or how he feels. The ones I feel are worthless pigs are the ones who feel as though they are the only ones qualified to own and carry guns.

Yeah and oftentimes they are dispatched. We have some Departments of Public Safety where Officers are trained as Firefighters as well as Police and often rotate. Most Officer have CPR training and can keep someone alive or render assistance until other help arises. As to the questions they may be SOP for that department or the Officer was just winging it, saw something that aroused his suspicion, who knows. I put the blame on the politicians who pass these kinds of laws and public who support them not the Police.

Fair enough, but hard to tell from this: Why do the pig cops come on medical calls.

My son and most Officers I know are also supporters of the citizens right to keep and bear arms.

Boy Indiana is a whole lot simpler than that.
The form was so inconsequential I barely remember filling it out.

It just took a lot longer because the whole state was applying due to getting scared of Obummer
