I'd love for them to get it in IL. I'll probably never see it. Especially with Obama here. Very against guns. Has always voted against them in any and every bill.

I don't know what weapons are and aren't allowed, but could you imagine walking around with a 12 gauge tucked under your coat? Willickers!!

I hope all anti-gun people are faced with a life or death situation at some point.
I bet they will rethink their philosphy in that brief period prior to facing death.

what do you think of dan wesson 1911s? 1911s in general seem to have a maaajor following, and like everyone and his pa has a version or six.

anyway, as for this thread, i see a fundamental difference between such information being freely accessible to anyone who wants to look it up, versus some 3rd party (i.e., the author) doing the work and publishing it for the sake of others to access. leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

"There are good reasons the records are open to public scrutiny. People might like to know if their neighbors carry. Parents might like to know if a member of the car pool has a pistol in the glove box. Employers might like to know if employees are bringing weapons to the office."

^ This excerpt, if it's not a joke (and I guess not) seems a wee bit asinine to me.

People might like free blowjobs on Sunday, but too fucking bad.

As much as I would like to carry a concealed weapon, I see the points on both sides. There are a shitload of crazy people out there who have no control over their anger, so could you imagine what they would do if they got angry and just so happened to have a gun on them? There are so many factors that need to be weighed but as I said, I do see both sides. Grrr.. I'd still love to carry one though.

I have never fired a Dan wesson 1911. They have some top quality parts in them though.

i primarily disagree with the publishing of any such list. as for having access to the information by going one's self to the police or some hall of records...i'd have to think more carefully on that. one's right to and desire for privacy makes me instinctively balk at the notion, and there's probably no end to the kinds of information that one might find a use for (even if just for peace of mind), if given access. but unless there's some practical, solid rationale which makes 'big picture' sense for knowing that your neighbor has a gun permit (i.e. is it likely to matter one fucking bit, except in an easily-contrived set of circumstances), i'd err on the side of privacy.

as in other areas of gun-related policy, i'd tend to think that the ones you have to worry about are those that won't have permits or abide by the law in general.

i don't know...i have to go take a leak. hopefully i won't get shot on my way back from the men's room.

In that case let's do away with vehicles since people drink and drive in them.

You do not strip law-abiding citizens of their rights simply because a few dumbass people abuse them. That is why there are laws to punish the ones who do commit crimes, not the ones who don't.
