I applaud all of you that feel it is necessary to carry a conceled firearm. I don't. I also think you are pissing into the wind if you think that you won't be the first to get the visit from the law when things go upside down. Actually I have never purchased a firearm using the fed form.Almost all of my firearms were purchased well before the GCA 68. I don't own many and the ones I do own are primarily hunting guns not handguns. I do live in an open carry state and when I do feel that I need a firearm my 870 is both legal and far more lethal than any handgun I know of. Mostly though I simple stay out of the high risk areas. My primary weapon is both conceled and deadly its my brain. Good luck to all of you. And when your sitting in the barb wire hotel tell me how nice it was to have a CCW and how nice the GVT is. FRJ
