Emily Gets Her Gun - Washington Times Article

[Garufa]

Like everything else in this country I imagine those are just the "regulations", tenuously held in place by some "law" .

[Makiaveli]

It's the process.

It only took several months and several hundred dollars, but Emily finally got her gun! All I can say is DC is messed up. Like she says in her article, a criminal can get a gun in a few minutes with no paperwork, but Law-abiding citizens have to take a five-hour class that is only taught outside of the District, pay $465 in fees, sign six forms, pass a written test on gun laws, get fingerprinted, be subject to a police ballistics test and take days off work.

Here is the link to her blog site with all of the articles: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/guns/

That is utterly ridiculous. To think, some people complain about TN's laws.

I love the fact that she hops on the metro clinging to her locked SIG pistol case. I hope no nefarious types noticed. You'd think she would have had a plain brown wrapper to hide it in.

That's because Tennessee's laws are an infringement on your rights as well. They may not be as bad as D.C. but that doesn't mean they're good either.

TN's laws are a godsend compared to DC's laws.

I'd rather be forced to drink urine than eat feces, but when it's over, I'm still left with the taste of piss in my mouth.

I have followed Emily's progress for some time now. IMHO it is a wonderful series that hopefully will inform many who wish to arm themselves inside the beltway, but had no idea where to start. THIS is what investigative reporting SHOULD be. Kudos to you young lady!

Looks like someone has a little bit of common sense in DC. Emily reports that changes are coming...

The best disinfectant is Sunshine. Many thanks to Emily Miller for shining a bright light on the insanity that is Washington D.C.
