I agree...except in UncleWede's case. I don't know if I'd feel safe knowing that he was roaming the streets with a CCW.....

Well he'll be red-flagged soon. Thanks Senate!



….even saying that in jest really bothers me because at some point…..somewhere……a real life UncleWede is going to be the target of somebody's abuse of those laws.

It amazes me how many people fear someone they never feared before - just because they have a gun now. It's the same person.

When I get in with a bunch of anti's - I usually explain it like this. "So every day you walk across a cross walk with people a few feet away from you with tons of steel and horsepower bearing down on you with only 1/2 a foot on the brake keeping them from mowing you down - yet you think NOTHING of that. Yet that same person on the other side of a restaurant with a holstered and concealed weapon is going to somehow become so unhinged that they are going to snap and kill you? It's the SAME person.

We fear what we do not understand.

That would not save you from being red-flagged. Red-flag laws can usurp your due process rights based on an allegation alone.

….and for the ruling class(es) they fully understand the purpose of protection with a firearm. After all, they travel most often with a circus of armed professionals safeguarding their every move (…and benefit from that network of security). They simply don't want that protection extended to the people they view as being beneath them. The ruling class/celebrity elites would shutter themselves indoors much of the time if that armed presence was no longer available to them. Trust me on that.



Remember…..


….They are not special and they do not deserve more protections than you or me just because they are celebrities, politicians, etc.

I totally forgot about that. I think he lives in a county that regularly issues too. Los Angeles County FINALLY began issuing CCW's within the last couple of years. It was long overdue. Every surrounding county had been issuing for many years and there wasn't a single occurrence that I can recall where a person with a valid CCW committed a crime or misused that privilege. That reality is counter to any argument the anti-gun lobbyists can make about people carrying firearms. I had a CCW for a few years prior to entering law enforcement and thankfully I never had to draw my weapon. Additionally, law enforcement patrolling in issuing counties never had issues when dealing with people with CCW's on traffic stops. None! Zilch! Revocations mainly happened due to people failing to submit renewal paperwork or people traveling to places without CCW reciprocity (…California has zero reciprocity) and having firearms relinquished by law enforcement in those states. The best approach is to obtain a CCW in California and then obtain Arizona's CCW by proxy. Arizona has reciprocity with about 39 other states in the union, so it covers most places.

In other words, nothing has changed.....
Eric Adams just needs a scapegoat for all the horrible non-gun related violence that happens in NYC. That's how the left handles everything.

I decided to get back into firearms and I'm putting together an AR. Got lucky with a Noveke stripped lower. Now I'm on the hunt for either a matching Noveke upper or a LMT MRP upper. Everything I want is sold out. I've got the rest of the parts just hanging out that I'm itching to take to the range.
