Another expert! With almost 5,000 posts in less then 2 years and this is all you can come up with? Who's doing the whining now? And what earth shattering contributions have you made to this world? What branch of the military did you serve in? Mr. Bear says: Just exactly where was your...

Civility I didn't make this statement someone else did, so your reputation precedes you. No where did I even mention that the federal government should have sovereignty over the states. What I said was it would be nice if us firearms owners were protected, so we could carry our concealed...

Tory, Why must you be so sarcastic? Are you looking for a debate? Sorry, but you won't get one here. So I misspelled your name. It was a typo. What's the big deal? I suppose you've never done that? Would it have made you feel better if I had said "a convicted felon should not bother to...

Sorry Troy, But I am not woefully misinformed, you must not have read my entire message. I did not say it was a matter of handguns only. And I did not say it was a matter of state law only either, I am not familiar with the laws of other states so I did not comment on them. Read it one more...

If you're a convicted felon , don't even bother to apply for a pistol permit of any kind in New York State. Forget about it! You won't get it, period! In fact, a convicted felon can't even own a shotgun for hunting purposes. A convicted felon can't even live in a house where there are firearms...

That's a very good question. How are we supposed to know what the law is if the law doesn't know what the law is? I posted the statement below and got accused of being in favor of more gun control and that's not at all what I meant. What I meant was, they should get their act together so we as...

I find that I avoid confrontations when I am carrying. And that helps me to feel more relaxed and less stressed. I just don't let things bother me like I used to.

With more then 1000 posts in less then 1 year and 3.75/day, DMF must be an expert on everything. And he quotes Dr. Evil too! Yahoo! If it was so predictable, must be everyone knows this guys routine?

Hey buddy, That's not what I said so don't put your spin on it! All I meant was a person could not tell how any given jurisdiction would react to them carrying a concealed firearm especially when the law enforcement people don't even know their own laws. I'm not in favor of any more gun...

This has been said by not only me, but many others on various gun sites. If you do NOT have a NYCity LCP.. then you can NOT possess a handgun within NYCity! That's it!! If you have a NYState LCP.. you STILL can NOT possess within NYCity. (* Please note.. I am NOT talking about the couple of...

There are so many "grey" areas when it come to firearms, especially handguns and concealed carry, that it's almost a joke! Every state and county has it's own rules. And even the people who enforce those rules are not sure of them. Everyone needs to get on the same page. When I applied for my...

You've just answered your own question. Orientation I'm sure they will explain all the club rules, dos and dont's, club policies and procedures. Study the rule book until you know it inside and out. If you're not sure, ask and before long you'll fit right in. It's mostly common sense and safety...

If you travel to Florida often you should apply for a Florida non-resident CCW permit. I did, it's no big deal to obtain and it good for 4 years. Then you'll be sure you're legal. You can apply here: Florida Dept. of State Division of Licensing P.O. Box 6687 Tallahassee, Florida 32314-6687...

It's always been tough to procure a handgun in NYS but with the likes of Sens. Clinton & Schumer and Gov. Pataki it's gotten even worse. New York State is one of the toughest places in the country to get a pistol permit. If I'm not mistaken, in NYC, one needs a permit to own a shotgun. And most...

Here in Niagara Co. in 1977, it took about 7 months for me to get my carry permit. There is a $5.00 fee to add a handgun on to a permit here in Niagara county but there is no limit as to how many you can add. I was buying one handgun per week for several months. BTW, I think it stinks that all...
