NO Back-up Guns Allowed in SOME States???

The reason is to prevent "throw downs".

My guess would be that if you have a throw down piece then it would have been obtained illegally in the first place making this law just as silly as the rest of them. Thankfully, I can carry as many as I care to, which is usually just one (If I need more than that, I'm probably in way over my head).
 
CCDW?

Here in Kentucky we do not have a CCDW "gun" license. We have a "deadly weapon" license. This covers guns blackjacks, brass knuckles, knives, clubs and batons, tire tools in back seat, etc.
 
2nd, 3rd and 4th if you can carry so many.....

No stupid legal ideas made law as of today in the Great Lakes State. I can't get the idea at all. What should it matter if I showed that I am a good guy and have been allowed to carry a firearm concealed what difference if I have a second. The throw down idea is the most silly thing I have heard ever. That isn't saying I couldn't bet it is 100% true in a few places. Too many legal folks trying to think too hard. I guess nothing in the legal system could just be easy and straight forward. If such a silly rule was in place in some states a licensed carry wouldn't allow you to carry a pocket knife if you wanted to also tote a firearm........Too much BS........overload..........beep beep beep..........God I hope things (as bad as they are up here in MI) never get that bad........no two guns.......... almost want to laugh at that .....sorry just nutts......:confused:

and it is true that MSP carry a second gun....and maybe a third....and

The way I see it is I wouldn't want the gun tied to me in any legal manner. If I purchased a gun at a shop it could be traced back to me and would be silly to use as a throw down. If I purchased it from a buddy FTF then it would be traced back to me eventually, also. I guess I just don't think like bad guys do.
 
Can someone enlighten me as to what a "throw down" is? From context it sounds like a gun that you willingly give up in order to make someone who's threatening you feel like they have the upper hand, when you've actually got a firearm in reserve. Is that correct?
 
A throw down came from LEO world. basicly its a gun you carry, that if you ever shoot some one( for what ever reason, be it mistake or murder) that is un armed, magicly they will be armed by the time any one else shows up.

In this country we need no reason to make stupid firearms laws. They just happen. 99% of them are entirely worthless and do not prevent any kind of harm....

There isn't a law of any kind written that =prevents= crimes. Laws -define- crimes, they don't prevent them.
 
Alabama has been mentioned as possibly having the same limitations, but, so far

I was told by a LEO here to carry at least two. I'll find out about the letter of the law here, but by and large, the police are sympathetic of the problems. I am in Montgomery and the "gun and knife club" as our head of security here at the hospital calls them, is quite prevalent. We have one in CCU at our main campus much of the time. (No, not legal CCW, gang members etc)

As a side note. We spend 50,000 to 200,000 to fix one up so they can go shoot the other one and then we fix them up, and then..............No, they do not have insurance, which means we eat it, and you pay for it.
 
Nope. talked to a LEO friend. We can carry more than one. He did say if we were pulled over it's a good idea to mention it. :)
 
The reasons why laws are passed are not usually readily available for citation. But you might be able to eventually find something if you are willing to go back through committe transcripts when the law was being passed. But I ain't doing that for ya!

Well then how do you know?
 
Once at a traffic stop (I did not get a ticket.) the state patrol guy checked out my main carry piece and my permit but never asked if a had a BUG. Whether I was right or wrong, I kept my trap shut about it. Being a half way decent sort I didn't pull it and start shooting. But I will say the patrol guy (A young one.) was a bit naive. Maybe the idea is for the protection of naive patrolmen? Turns out all the checking out was because unknown to me there had been a bank robbery in the area. Of course your average bank robber would be very careful to observe a no BUG law. (If it even occurred to him to have a BUG, bank robbers are not famous for their smarts.)
 
There were allegeldy some argentine 1911s knocking about ulster as throw downs.
apprantly the military police spent a lot of time trying to find who was selling argentine bring backs to the terrorists after a couple of provos turned up dead with them:rolleyes:

But when the LEO's find it at the crime scene and trace it back to the old owner, he'll say "But I sold that gun to Lone_Gunman a couple of months ago - see, here's his name and address" - and then the cops show up at your door and you become a guest of the state for a few years...
