Next PLUSA meetup: shooting range.”
I think you need to bring your own piece to ranges in NYC, but if anyone wants to go to a freaking awesome shooting range I will totally drive people up to the Smith & Wesson factory in Springfield, Massachusetts. You can rent any of their guns and buy the ammo and use the range. It’s lots of fun. Kind of a long r/t drive though. 🙁
OK Pete, a serious question deserves a serious answer:
1. IDs. A little troublesome for the government to know who is armed and who isn’t. Sort of defeats the basic purpose, doesn’t it? But seems outweighed by legitimate public safety concerns. The jackal court rules that these are OK. And by IDs I mean they get to verify who you are before you purchase, not that you should have to jump through the artificial hurdle of obtaining a special form of ID in order to purchase.
2. Registration. Depends on what you mean. Pre-registration as a means to make it more difficult? No. Keeping a list of who has purchased based on checking IDs? Sure.
3. Carrying weapons: The logic for letting people carry weapons in public, concealed or otherwise, is weak if you’re using the original intent of the 2nd amendment as a reference and there is an effective police presence. Having weapons at home should be sufficient. However that assumes an effective police presence. If that isn’t the case, then I should be able to lawfully weild the means of doing violence.
There are certain situations where people enter voluntarily and should surrender all weapons. Airplanes, for example. Government buildings.

I made sure not to piss her off. ;)”
The girl from Washington Heights = Mrs. Legion

speaking of dogs, the wife’s awaits… see y’all later.
I once dated a girl from Washington Heights.
She invited me over one day, making sure that
her older brother wasn’t home.
We hung out in his room and by chance, I
happened to peek under her his bed.
There must have been 10 guns and shotguns under there.
Later that day, I asked her if her big brother
was the protective type.
she said yeah, why.
I said, oh, just wondering.
I made sure not to piss her off. 😉
legiondog=real hunting dog!
