So in order to buy a rifle in my home state, i need to git licened figure printed, and interviewed, or I can drive 20 mins to virgina and buy one today with a back ground check and a 3 day wait.
Wait, no, no 3day wait.
just a background check, fuck yeah.
and that is a legal purchase
Yeah check if your state allows gun purchases across state lines
I know maryland has a bunch of weird laws
AR15s not allowed unless they have heavy barrels, no sales of magazines over 10 rounds but ones purchased out of state are ok iirc
being in florida is pretty nice compared to most of the garbage states
TX law has some quirks
I received a hard case for my Mosin-Nagant as a Christmas-gift:
Gay. It should be a vintage wood lookin mother fucker
Are you allowed to store your rifle with it's bolt in your jurisdiction? Some of the People's republics have banned that
Thats what the tyrants want with their "Safe Storage Requirements"
The most common reason to own a gun in the US today has been self defense
If the gun isn't accessible quickly for self defense legally then you've already eliminated a bunch of future gun owners/gun rights supporters
And by making it illegal having a firearm ready to use for self defense you have effectively criminalized self defense
Arguement is that it's premeditated if the weapon is kept in a condition ready to fire.
If I have a firearm in condition cold i can respond in five seconds or there about (bolt closed, unloaded) If I have the firearm disassembled who the fuck knows if I can use it to defend myself. I am looking at a carbine against the wall with a blue mag in holding the place, a ready mag close by, now I can put that into action effectively in responce to a threat, but as it is stored, it is not a danger.
...Yes. That's the point.
"You were ready beforehand to defend yourself!"
"...And?"
I live in a country where if I sleep with a weapon next to my bed, and someone attacked, and I used that weapon, I'd do prison time for pre-meditation.
Then you live in a country with bad laws.
Unless I can explain why that weapon was next to my bed.
"The weapon was next to my bed so that it would be readily available to me."
Those are tyrannical laws that are designed to keep the peasants down.
The line is 'I keep the baseball bat in my room, so that guests don't knock it into my wall, I heard a noise I was afraid, so I grabbed the first thing I could reach, and I hit the intruder with it, when I saw what I thought was a weapon in his hand'.
In short, we have to lie.
You can argue that those laws are also religious discrimination.
About a baseball bat, or a dumbbell.
If I were Sikh? Absolutely.
"It is a custom belief to keep a blackened blade under your pillow to ward off dark spirits that bring nightmares," this is in a few religions.
