Joined up a short time ago. Im just getting around to doing this. Im glad to be here. Im a proud owner of springfield weapons, I love to shoot, and enjoy anything gun related. I think the law should be as follows.

Everyone 18 years of age or older shall be required to carry a gun unless they have a permit to not do so.

This would not only cut down or totally abolish crime, but it would give the soccer moms something else to bitch about,,,so there everyones Happy.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome!

A requirement is against my political views for many reasons. First, not everyone can afford a weapon, and I am not sure I want my tax dollars spent buying glocks for 18 year old, um, "urban" folks who cannot afford them. I am also against the invasion of freedom that any mandate for anything (insurance, ID/papers, whatever) causes. And, finally, not everyone should own a deadly weapon; some people do not have the responsibility to follow safe handling (a lot of gun people mess this up, let alone non or anti gun folks!) while other people like to drink, dope, or just have the sort of personality that leads to fighting. A hothead with a gun and a bottle of jack = bad plan.

I understand the pros but actually doing something like that would cause more harm than good. I would not mind a (swiss??) style setup where every home has a rifle for national defense. A free AR? Sign me up.

Mandated training as well. Free ammo to shoot a few times a year? Sure!
