The Concealed Weapons Laws And Why You Should Not Be Caught Off-guard

By Larry Kelly


We seem to have folks who want to have gun owners lose their rights to own firearms. There is an anti-gun agenda to keep pushing until that happens. Today, they are starting with assault rifles, tomorrow they will move to go after other guns, making it almost unbearable to own anything that fires a bullet. The concealed weapons laws have been with for years now. Over the years running a think tank, I've been a lot more concerned with other more serious WMD abilities that criminals, terrorists, or humanity haters might develop or currently have the technology and know-how to bring them to fruition - bioweapons for instance - that is really scary stuff, a lot worse than assault weapons. Okay so, let's talk shall we?

The reality is that mostly men will buy a gun. If they want to carry a concealed weapon it will require getting a permit. Today, many citizens are afraid of guns and they don't like violence. It is okay in a movie or in a television program, but not in real life. Nice people don't have to protect themselves, which is what the police are there for. That is the prevailing attitude of the general public. Let the police handle it. Yet some people are still feeling it is important to be purchasing pepper spray for personal protection instead of buying a gun, let alone getting a permit to carry one.

There are three additional policy considerations that are triggered with current state laws requiring waiting periods is the "cooling-off" period established of sufficient duration between the sale of a firearm and delivery valid permits to possess a firearm do not exempt a purchaser from the waiting period transfer of the firearm must not occur until after the required background checks have been completed regardless of any waiting period.

While the state recognizes a person's right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, some of the ways that improper use of firearms or weapons can result in criminal charges include, but are not limited to the offenses such as the procession of the firearms.

So, if the new gun laws cause you to take action and make a firearms purchase and get some extra ammunition more quickly, then that will be good for you. However, don't let it all distract you from job one: getting food and other supplies readied.

Every time I hear about another gun shooting at a school, mall or other major area, it literally makes me sick. What is happening in this world? Why is there so much violence? People think they have the answer - more gun control and yes I do agree there are way too many guns out there. But alone, this will not solve the problem.

Only three states, California, Maryland, and New Jersey, have state laws that limit the number of handgun sales or purchases to one per 30 day period. These laws are based on studies that show that multiple handguns purchased by the same person are often used for criminal activity. New York gun laws, however, are even stricter, and limit the sale of all firearms to one purchase every 90 days.

Not surprisingly, state gun regulations vary greatly from state to state. Most gun regulation focus on three categories: (1) laws prohibiting the possession of firearms by certain people; (2) laws regulating the sale and transfer of firearms; and (3) the possession of firearms in public places.
