Well, there were comments about financial risk and cost. Was just addressing that I don’t worry about cost and liability when my life is on the line.

I guess the point I’m making over and over is it’s not about money. If your safety is at risk, and the law is on your side, then you have to protect yourself. Otherwise, why own firearms? Why not just get a taser and a can of mace? Or ask the perpetrator to leave or that you strenuously object...

I think that’s why you have to make sure you have the right legal and liability coverage or plan in place. It also depends on what state and county you live in. I wouldn’t live in a state like CA or NY or MA (where I lived for many years) because the laws don’t give citizens the same...

That’s why organizations like US Law Shield and USCCA exist. I have coverage for both criminal and civil legal fees, and I have other liability insurance that covers me as well if I did lose a civil case. Look, not recommending taking a life if it’s not necessary and not the only safe option...

There’s maybe a practical guideline, and I agree with him that avoiding use of deadly force is preferable for all involved if you safely can, but it’s not necessarily required by law. In many states, including mine, there is no duty to retreat and stand your ground is the law. In your home...

Only because the Senate wouldn’t confirm him. He was Biden’s choice, and that reflects on Biden.

So Biden and Democrats haven’t said on camera that they want to ban weapons and take them? Biden didn’t nominate Chipman to head up the ATF? And Chipman isn’t a sworn enemy of gun owners who has worked as a lobbyist for gun control? Democrats in Congress haven’t filed legislation that if not...

My family lives in FL and thought that was the case as it is in Georgia. My mistake. The concern about a new conviction isn’t really valid since the same process would happen to get the conviction info on the NICS check that would happen to revoke your CWL. If I’m convicted of a felony or...

I understand your points that much of the framework and the administrative law was in place before Biden. Having said that, he has been vocal during the campaign and since taking office (when he’s coherent) that he wants to take away guns and make them illegal. He has said that directly in...

And the number of NICS checks doesn’t even indicate the real number of firearms sold. For example, if my wife or I buy a firearm, we don’t have to undergo a NICS check. In my state a concealed weapons license exempts buyers from a background check. We still have to do the first part of the...

The ostensible reason is that if someone is accused of domestic violence and has already assaulted a family member, that they may be at risk of using a firearm against those family members. I’m not advocating for red flag laws, just explaining their logic in MA.

Yup, understand all of that. Was just attempting to give context to the info in the article and why in MA he had his firearms temporarily confiscated by police at the time of arrest. In most states, your firearms aren’t confiscated by police simply because you get arrested for assault...

As I mentioned, in MA the red flag laws give the cops the ability to temporarily seize anyone’s firearms if they’re deemed a “threat to others” such as in domestic violence cases. No conviction necessary...

I’m not a fan or proponent of red flag laws, so no argument from me on their constitutionality. Was just speculating on why in MA the cops have the legal ability to remove the firearms just based on the arrest. But as you pointed out, I’m not a lawyer and don’t play one on TV.

Everyone has to answer about domestic violence on a 4473. It’s not unique to any state. I used the word “assume” only because I don’t know for sure. But as the article stated, his 40 firearms were temporarily seized (because he may be a threat to his spouse) and his LTC was suspended. They gave...

Yeah, Massachusetts is way out there with woke politics. Rockland isn’t like Cambridge or Boston, but in fairness, if you’re the CEO of a health provider, and you get convicted of domestic assault, even 20 years ago it was likely you’d be fired. Today, just the accusations are probably enough.

I lived in MA for almost 2 decades, and moved to GA in 2007. At the time I lived there, Heller hadn’t been decided yet, so even to own firearms in the home required a license, and MA is a may issue state. The Chief of Police for your town or city is who reviews all FID and LTC requests, and...

Glad to see more and more companies generally voting with their wallets. Firearms makers especially are feeding the mouths that bite them when they stay in states like Maryland, Massachusetts, New York. And welcome to Georgia!

I think this is the important issue. The feds have a 4473 for every purchase you make through an FFL. So the issue with financial transactions is really about banks looking at your transactions and saying “we don’t want you using our credit card to buy firearms” and “we’ll cancel you if you...

I don’t own any German Sigs, but I can tell you my US made P226 Legion is extremely accurate. I’m the weak link in the chain for sure.
