One is the funnier things to come out of the recent upheaval is that leftists have found out it’s not nearly as easy to get their hands on a gun as they’ve been telling everyone.
Come to Pennsylvania. We will have you all loaded up ready to go in twenty minutes

You can even walk around with your whole collection on your hip without a permit.

Is this part true?
You are allowed by law to purchase a long gun which includes a rifle or shotgun — without having to go through a background check.
But If you wanted to purchase a handgun privately, you would have to go to a FFL dealer to complete a firearms transfer. There is a fee for this transfer which is between $40-$70 depending on the dealer.

I honestly have no idea.. I had to do a background check when I bought a shotgun, at a store, so unless it’s different rules for different vendors.. I’m not sure.

Sorry, what I had copied was just referring to private sales. Privately, you can buy long but not hand without a background check?

I really don’t know. I never bought one or thought to buy one privately.. interesting.

I know in Texas even felons are allowed to have guns on their own property. But I don’t think they’re allowed to buy them, just possess them. But again idk.

You mean I need a permit? I thought Pennsylvania was in America.

We don’t really have any guns in British Columbia, but Washington has lots, and I’ve gone to gun ranges down there to shoot. My wife and I used to go to a church in WA pastored by a gun nut from Kentucky, and for the church picnic one year we went to the indoor range and shot Glocks and AR-15’s all afternoon. We stopped going to that church soon after that, and the last we heard the pastor was running from the cops, but weren’t those the days. :p

It’s harder to buy weapons right now than usual. It’s more of a supply thing than a government thing but you could call yourself a warlord with a decent stockpile.
I honestly haven’t even looked or tried. I figured if civil unrest hasn’t happened yet.. we’ll probably be waiting a while. I did hear ammo was sold out everywhere.

Nice! That’s a true southerner.
I think I picked up some southern habits from my wife’s family in GA lol.

I’ll log off the forums forever if there isn’t a civil war within two months of Inauguration Day lol anyone wanna take that bet
Can you amend your predication? Like to April? I need a good solid heating season before I can afford civil war. Plus I’m done with my masters in March. I’ll be very pissed if something interferes with all that.

And here in NM I had to go through a background check when I purchased my AR.
Need a permit to conceal carry.
