The unofficial GUN talk thread

[Pedro]

That BS got a few people broken into in NY when the news posted the addresses online.  I can see the same thing happening here. and for what?

Your peers voted for those people.  

Jamey, you can keep a concealed weapon in your car locked up out of sight if you have the CCW permit.  that's what the Employee Protection Measure is for regardless of what your employer says.

I could care less about 100% back ground checks.  I'm leaning towards supporting it. But publicly listing the MOST law abiding gun owners (have done several background checks and state police investigation checks) by making it known who the CCW permit holders are is against the law as far as I'm concerned.  Insurance companies and employers will unconstitutionally use it against you.

Follow the steps and they will send the letters to all your reps according to your zip code. It starts with the president and goes on down to your town district rep in Augusta.  Do it or lose it.

Heres the response email I got from Ruger Advocay.

It's all bs. Putting permit holders on an online datsbase has no purpose. the police can already tell if you have one when they run your license, it isn't anyone's business besides the permit holder and law enforcement

When we run someone it does NOT show up on a license check.

Makes it easier for them to kick in (the correct) doors when it comes time to confiscate them, though.

 

[inski]

It will be used against you for employment and/or promotions.

That is one of the single most ignorant issues with gun control and its really shocking that its coming from a district rep, someone people thought was intelligent enough to represent them. Maine concealed permit holders are the most law abiding people in the state.  And they've done all the FBI and State Police checks and investigations to prove it.

Same with York County Sheriffs. They don't have the same system as everyone else. The guys at CFPP told us to tell the LEO either way so you don't get ripped out through the window!

Got a response from Pingree's office.  Apparently she's all for hunters' rights and insists congress and the president are obligated to gun reform.

Thinking I should respond and remind them this isn't about hunting anymore.  But, I don't know how to articulate it well.

Always a good idea to let us know that way you wont end up with any extra holes.

There is no way for any LEO in the state to know if you have a permit. Where they are issued by each dept. there is know way for all to know just yet. Always let us know if there is a weapon on you or in your vehicle for everyones safety involved, we dont know who we are dealing with. We have no idea if your a good guy or a bad guy so we need to be cautious and if that hurts anyones feelings oh well I for one am going home at night.
