Should ID Checks Be Required for Gun Sales?

admin — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 10:07:54 +0000

Before you purchase your next firearm, you might need to pause and make sure your driver’s license is valid. ID checks are intended to keep dangerous people from getting guns, but opponents say that these measures are ineffective and perhaps even counterproductive. In the world of gun sales, should we demand ID checks?

Procedure for filling out an 03 FFL for an out of state student?

admin — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 17:32:18 +0000

I am a student in Kansas, but my license/car is still registered under my mom’s address in Missouri as my permanent address, as is the norm for students studying out of state.

I wish to fill out an 03 FFL for Curios and Relics so I can pick up a few milsurp guns to plink with on weekends. Nothing illegal about owning and storing them where I currently live.

However, under what address do I fill out the FFL? My current apartment address in Kansas or my permanent address in Missouri? I assume that if I have to fill out my form under Missouri, that I’ll have to have everything shipped to my moms place and then just make a trip to her place to pick it up?

Also, who exactly is the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" that I have to give a copy of the FFL to? Local sheriff?

Thanks for any input!

Which firearm should I purchase out of the two?

admin — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 10:08:03 +0000

Okay, here’s my dilemma. I have paid for my conceal carry license and bought this nice 0 leather conceal carry jacket and now have the money to buy the smith&wesson bodyguard .38 special revolver that I feel fulfills my needs in a conceal carry firearm, especially in size and weight. Well, now that I have the opportunity to finally get it, I’m wondering if I should get the Taurus ultralite .44 magnum instead (which I also really like) for my open carry gun while I hunt in grizzly bear inhabited forests, and could also use it for home defense with .44 specials. I love both these guns and intend on owning both eventually. I feel like I have more chances into running into wolves, cougars, or grizzly’s while hunting with my 30-06 rifle than having someone attack me in public, but I already have put a lot of money towards my conceal carry permit and jacket. Which firearm do you think I should go for first? I have it down to both of these because they are in my price range and like them both, and have their own special purposes. Thanks for helping me with this decision.

What is the California law about carrying and possessing a firearm / gun / weapons concealed or not?

Any FFL holders in Iowa who could help me?

admin — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:52:34 +0000

I’m looking to buy an RPK from J&G guns online, and so far no place in town that HAS an FFL (scheels, pawn shops) will do business with me on this, since the only place that will, only does it for deer rifles or shotguns. Now i’ve had an SKS before, and have behaved responsibly for many years with firearms, and in fact am currently in paperwork with the BATFE to get a Type 50 explosives manufacturer license (legal hobbyist) and have a spotless criminal record (including driving!) and even coach an after-school program, so between being a good-intentioned guy and having the BATFE already allowed to conduct random visits for my explosives license, i think i can assure you pretty well that you’d be safe selling me a "scary" gun like an RPK. No criminal record of anyone in my household either.

So do you think i could find somebody in Iowa with an FFL who actually WOULD let me pay them a good fee to let me purchase through them, cash up front? How much should i expect to pay them?
Oh and i put this in hunting because i plan on using this for backyard hunting (i live in rural iowa where i have a safe area of privately owned woods to shoot in) as well as the hunting guys always seeming to have better gun answers. You can contact me through email from my profile page if you want.

Why is it that people think Glock is a police weapon?

admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:31:09 +0000

Every time I hear someone talking about guns, who does not have a good working knowledge of guns, they talk about the "Glock" as being a Law Enforcement only weapon. Glock is a manufacturer of an inexpensive hand gun. There are no external safeties on a Glock, and sales are common place to individuals. It is not a police only weapon, but rather a simple to use everyday firearm. It seems to me that television, movies, and the media (news) have caused this mis-information to spread. That’s my opinion.

What do you think?
I am not disputing a lot of departments use Glock. I know of the working mechanisms inside the Glock. I am not bad-mouthing the Glock, I own one. I am refering to the number of posts on YA where people call Glocks "Police Issue" when in reality they can be bought at any gun shop. Sorry for any confusion in the question.

FFL Procedure question?

admin — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 05:29:03 +0000

I’d like to order an AR-15 from Spikes Tactical. It’d be my first rifle and first (maybe second) firearm purchase. I’m just not sure what exactly to do as far as the FFL. They already have one in my city on file but I’ve never personally visited the store. The one I went to get my license to purchase handguns was a different store entirely. Basically I’m looking for help on if I should just order it since they have the FFL holder’s info on file and when it gets to the my local FFL holder (the gun shop) I’ll just get a call to go pick it up or should I let the gun shop know ahead of time that I want to order from X company ahead of time and then put the order in? Basically I’m looking for the answer to this question….Does the FFL holder have to know that they’re going to receive an online order before said order is delivered to them? I’m not really new to guns just new to buying guns. I just turned old enough to purchase last month. Thanks.

I love all guns,but I really feel more at home with pistols.I’ll be 18 in april,so I figure if I got a rifle going to the range wouldn’t be much trouble.Would I need someone who is 21 with me everytime I shot the pistol at the range?am I even allowed to transport the pistol without someone who is 21 and has a gun license?

Canadian Gun control Survey for my project(please answer asap)?

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:41:29 +0000

Need some Primary research for my Anthropology class

Survey – Gun Control(Yes Or No)

1.Will laws dictating the mandatory use of trigger locks significantly reduce accidental deaths?
2.Laws prevailing the possession and carrying (keeping & bearing) of firearms are effective at preventing criminal acts.
3.Laws regulating the manner in which firearms are kept in your home (locked, disassembled, etc.) will effectively prevent accidental gun deaths.
4.Do you fear the possession of guns by the civilian?
5.Is gun ownership a symbol of independence, self-reliance, freedom, and responsibility?
6.Do law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons endanger the public?
7.If all guns were to magically disappear tomorrow, there would be no more criminal violence?
8.The majority of criminal violence is the availability of guns.
9.Instead of offering protection, a gun in the home puts families at an even greater risk.
10.Should civilian ownership of guns be forbidden?
11.Does advance training with firearms reduce accidental deaths?
12.Should high-powered rifles be available to anyone with a firearms license?
13.Can having quick access to a firearm increase deaths by guns?

Hunting Rifles, Need Answers?

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:00:22 +0000

ok i am new to hunting and the rifles are hard to choose from. I am going to be hunting basically anything that moves. Deer to squirrels it doesnt matter. I want a gun that is reliable, durable and around no more than 450. Ive looked at alot of guns and the one that has caught my eye is the mossberg 4×4 30-06. Ive heard the 7mm magnum, and atr 100 are good too. What im trying to ask is what gun would be best for a beginning hunter and still powerful to take out big game. These 3 are the only ones ive really thought about, but any more suggestions would be great. Which one do you think is best

Question for those who think more restrictive gun laws will reduce gun crime….?

admin — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 00:29:15 +0000

In Vermont and Alaska any adult can legally carry a loaded gun any time either concealed or openly.

In Utah students (age 18+) can openly carry firearms on college campuses and licensed concealed permit holders can legally conceal loaded weapons on campus.

Wouldn’t you expect there to be lots of people being killed in that kind of a "wild west" environment? Wouldn’t you expect lots of people to shoot each other over simple misunderstandings?

Isn’t that what the anti-gun people always envision?

Based on the arguments used by anti-gun people, wouldn’t you expect lots of shootings and homicides in Utah, Vermont, and Alaska?
Have you noticed that just because the "government passes a law", criminals don’t run out and try to obey it?

Guns were banned for everyone that wasn’t law enforcement in DC for years. They had more shootings per capita than any other city.

Just because politicians dream it up, doesn’t mean it happens.

Do you need a handgun license to own a Mauser c96?

admin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:08:31 +0000

Just wondering ive always had a affinity for this gun and have been thinking about picking one up. I know that the orange plug law for airsoft and replicas is only in affect for guns made after the year 1898, and the original c96 was made in 1896. Just trying to figure out if vintage guns fall into the same catagory as buying a modern m92 beretta, colt 1911 etc..

Will someone tell me where I'm mistaken?

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 10:05:08 +0000

Group A: People who go to licensed dealers and gun show and purchase their firearms where they are registered with the federal authorities. They obtain permits to carry concealed firearms after hours of safety training and hundreds of rounds of practice fire and after intense scrutiny into their criminal record. They spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on high end firearms and ammunition that is held to the highest level of quality and safety control. They spend hundreds of hours and countless rounds of ammunition a year at the range. Some are former law enforcement and military personnel. They are some of the safest firearms operators on the planet. They purchase their weapons for hunting, sport, to exercise their God given right, and to assure the safety and well being of themselves, their loved ones, and their property. What they DO NOT do is perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and commit murder. For that matter they don’t commit hardly any type of crime because they have to maintain their permits to CCW.

Group B: People who commit murder, perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and generally have little to no regard for the law. What they DO NOT do is purchase their guns from licensed vendors or register them with law enforcement. They do not purchase high end equipment and ammunition from reputable dealers. They do not obtain legal permits to carry concealed weapons. They do not go through training in weapons use and safety. They do not go through any kind of screening process to weed out criminals (because that’s what they are). They purchase their fireams for any one of the aforementioned reasons

You still with me?

Now, using gun grabber logic, you can stop and prevent Group B from committing all the terrible things they do by taking guns away from Group A.

If you disagree, then please enlighten me.

Are You For/Against College Students Carrying Firearms On Campus?

admin — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 10:05:22 +0000

In most US States, being able to have a gun carry permit you must be 21 years old or older and pass qualifications; background check, mental illness history, and so forth.

Whether or not you have a gun carrying license most college campuses ban all firearms.

Do you think that students with the proper license and qualifications should be allowed to carry their guns on campus? If they can get a gun permit (which are not easy to come by in some states) should they be allowed to carry them on campus since they are allowed to carry them on their person elsewhere?

Do you honestly see more or less problems arising if college students were to be allowed to carry concealed firearms?
