Questions on gun laws in America....

[GTC21]

Is it legal in all states to carry a gun as long as you have a permit?

Can you carry a gun pretty much anywhere?

What would happen if you were carrying say your brothers gun which he had a permit for, would you get arrested?

What kind of guns are illegal in America, if any?

What kind of guns can you carry besides pistols?


I have an interest in guns but the nearest I can get to them is watching programmes about them on TV. I would go to America for the sole purpose of going to a shooting range.

i can walk out my front door
pull my gun
and start shooting
nobody say a word or call the law
happens all the time

well, in tn i can walk into the local wall-mart with $100 and my drivers licence and walk out with a gun. hand guns are a little harder to get, but if i just want to keep it at my house it's easy. the only hard part is getting a conceled weapon permit, which will allow one to carry their gun pretty much anywhere. byw, nice link nhm.

pills.

i live in Illinois and they don't provide concealed carry permits. Honestly, within the city limits of Chicago, guns aren't legal to even own. I don't know how that is constitutional but it is still the law here. You can't even pick up a gun at a gun store to look at it without a Firearm Owner ID Card (FOID). The laws suck here.

also i can walk down the road with a gun on my hip in plain view,it says if i have it under my shirt ect. ect. ,its concealed weapon and is a felony,but in plain view is allowed .that dont mean the law wont stop and mess with ya if they see ya,they just aint a hell of lot they can do about it,so long as it aint hidden and your no felon.

firm believer in my right to shoot your ass if your try to harm me or mine
legal or not.

"firm believer in my right to shoot your ass if your try to harm me or mine

Dead right Nowhereman. Everybody should have a right to defend themselves, their family and their property. Why should we live in fear of being attacked or robbed by some scumbag maggot. That's what pisses me off about the UK, we don't really have a right to defend ourselves or our homes. The law says we can only use "reasonable force" against a burglar. What bullshit, say if they have a knife or something, how can you "reasonably force" a burglar out of your home who has a knife or other weapon? I wouldn't give a fuck about the law if someone broke into my home, all I would be bothered about is my family being safe so I would launch the most aggressive, brutal attack against anyone who broke into my house, I wouldn't kill them I'd just fuck them up real good. I'm not saying I'm some kind of tough guy or anything because I know I'm not, that's just how I think I'd react in that situation, I'd be attacking out of fear.
I'm not sure how far you're allowed to go when defending yourself in the street over here. Say if about 5 people were punching the shit out of you what are you supposed to do? If 5 people are attacking you then you'd be fighting for your life, so you'd do anything you could to get them away like pick a rock up off the floor or some glass or something. But what pisses me off is you'd be prosecuted for it. Prosecuted for defending yourself, it's fucking ridiculous. I'm sure the police just expect us to stand there and let this shit happen.

no,you can't carry a gun anywhere.
if you had your brothers gun you would be arrested.
you can carry shotguns,pistols whatever as long as you have a permit.

Howdy GTC21,

You lament:" I'm sure the police just expect us to stand there and let this sh*t happen."

Yup..and not only that,you can't sue the police,for failing to protect you or your family,as civilians..you and your family,are expendable..in their eyes,because wrongly accusing someone of criminal intent..is far worse in today's politically-correct society..than the loss of innocent,law-abiding citizens.

Here in America,liberals have seen to it,that the rights of criminals,are given precedence over the rights of victims..indeed..liberalism..demands that we all shoulder the mantle of victim-hood.

Have a good one ...

all this talk about guns... wheres the love? by owning a gun in the US you are increasing the liklehood of you or one of your family members being shot 400%. a gun for $100? thats crazy. why not just buy some weed and get high?
