If we have to carry and our country is so, OUT OF CONTROL, to do this, I doubt people 'care' about getting a permit.
I took lessons, bought a gun, gun cleaning kit, head protectors & glasses, then another $160.00 to take the training. Then whatever a permit costs. At that time, it was bit much. I got a gun to protect home & myself, when we had a gang of 15, pushing doors down to rape, beat up & steal from people. I was going to go out fighting. This grannie does not like 'victim' mentality for myself. Hollow point 9MM.
I am sure all is done, to slow the process. We should 'follow the law', with ANARCHISTS WANTING TO KILL US? I laugh. Ha!
