I really don't like the idea of asking permission for a permit to exercise the right to bear arms. Perhaps I should just accept that we will all continuously compromise our rights away to the bitter end. Just difficult to pay the extortion and permission fee when I see more and more states passing Constitutional carry. That permit may make me feel as if I legitimized the infringement, and have less integrity as a man. Am I alone in that thought?

Options:
Move to a constitutional carry state Get a permit. Don't get a permit, and don't carry Don't get a permit, and carry anyway. Not sure what you're looking for. People in many areas of California would envy a permit. |

How do you feel about that background check every time you purchase a firearm?

Get a GOOD LEGAL PLAN (doubt it'll get you to the US Supreme Court) before you try something. Don't count on the ACLU.

Why is it that 95% of the people who joined this month are so weird?
OP, either stop whining and get your permit or don't. Or, like others said, move to a state with constitutional carry and that'll be one less super duper difficult decision for you to make. |

Seriously, it's not like this argument hasn't been rehashed a thousand times. Go read the thousands of other posts on here and basically every other gun site about it. It is a simple decision. Get your permit and carry, don't the get the permit and don't carry, carry illegally, or move some where with constitutional carry. Either pick one of those currently available choices, or pony up some cash for a campaign to change the laws. For the record, "getting permission" to carry is easily worth it if it means I can carry my firearm and possibly save myself or others. |

Wait till the Govt requires a permit for you to go to a church of your choice. Maybe then....the country will be ready to revolt?
You could still have your choice of RELIGION. Freedom of religion. But, you'll need to pay a small fee maybe even go through a background check....you know, for safety. Aloha, Mark |

The more permits that are issued, the easier it is to hammer home the normalcy of carrying, the easier it is to fight negative perception and advance 2a

If you don't get your permit and carry, the .Gov gets the last laugh hosing your blood off the sidewalk. Like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
The purpose of the 2a is to provide the credible threat of violence against would be tyrants. So does that mean now I won't go buy an AR because I shouldn't have to fill out a 4473? |

How do you feel about catching a felony and losing all your guns?
Life is a series of decisions. I err on the side of good judgement even when I don't like the pill I have to swallow. |

Would suck to get hit with a criminal charge just for carrying a ccw. Or worse you actually use it and that in turn is used against you in court.
Seems like a lose lose to me if your state isn't too hard to get a CCW permit. Now if your state prohibits it or its basically impossible to get one then I would change my thinking of the above or just move. |

View Quote Several states have constitutional carry, and several more are working on it before their state legislatures - Iowa is among them. You can always come here in a couple years (takes a couple years in a row successful voting in state legislature to make a change to the state constitution here) So you can become a Hawkeye and not worry about it anymore |

View Quote Thankfully in my state I am not subject to those......................as long as I subject myself to the process the OP is referring to. I hate having to go through any "process" to exercise a right. However, self defense is important enough for me to do it in this case. For now. |

We have a compound out here of guys that refuse to get any sort of credentials/permits, driver's licenses included. Might want to check them out. Edgy as fuck.

that exact sentiment is abundantly evident in the photo i had to get taken for my ccw at the police station after paying a fee and getting fingerprinted.
It is total fucking bullshit. I'd rather not get fucked in the ass over the matter so i try to fight it through the system. |

I keep renewing mine, because when I buy a gun thru an FFL I show the permit (bypasses nics) they write it down on their form and hand it back. No mistaken ID when calling into NICS and being denied.

The more common they are, the more people you have to sway the liberals in charge.
Also helps when we are pushing for reciprocity. That does require you to leave the basement though. |
