A New Wrinkle in Nazi Jersey

[Pathfinder]

I would think this is a 14th Amendment case waiting to happen. Why are rights strongly curtailed in one state but free to others in other states? It's a toss up between state's rights and Federal powers. Interesting Constitutional conundrum.

Not to make anyone feel bad, but here in ND, if I want a gun, I go to the store, fill out the form, show them the CCW and my DL, pay for the gun, and go home. The CCW gets me a pass on having to wait for the NCIS check. No fees, no psycho exams, no nothing else.

The CCW took a 10-question test, a photograph, a short form, a check for $30 to the private tester (amount is set by law), and a small fee - $50 maybe) to the County Sheriff. Then, maybe 20 day wait as it went through the AG office, and voila - a card in the mail. Good for 5 years.

It is a tough choice, and I thought long and hard before leaving the people's republik of illinois/cook county - run away or fight the fight. I left. It's an individual call.

Good luck to all.

.................. Oh yes, we have no state income tax either.....

You just had to get that dig in there, didn't you?

A background check to get a form so that you can get a background check!

What the hell ever happened to "shall not be infringed"?!?!?

Kentucky is pretty much like North Dakota, according to what Pathfinder posted.  Our CCW test is more than 10 questions, however, and there is also a live fire portion.  The gun purchasing procedure is the same though.  I go to my local gun shop, pick out my gun, show them my CCW and drivers license, and leave a happy man 10 minutes later.  Now if we could just work on that income tax like Florida.

I thought NH was the last state in the union without a state income tax, do you have a sales tax ?
As for buying a gun in NH , pick, pay, fill out form and show ID, wait for phone call ccw or not, then take gun home.
CCW, 3 references, $10, 10 days, They have never checked my references.
Oh yeah, No sales tax and ALL NFA OK

Yes, we have a state sales tax.  You guys rock in NH when it comes to guns!  I think the state motto is "Live Free or Die", right?

I think we should all adopt Alabama's motto "We Dare Defend Our Rights."

A Million Gun Owners March on every State Capital in the Union, "We Dare Defend Our Rights" on the front of your shirts, and "The Second Amendment - The Original Homeland Security" (from the NRA) on the back of our shirts.  No open carry of guns, no outrageous chants, and no intimidation (however, just the fact we are talking guns will scare many).  Just a quiet unified show of numbers in support of not removing our Rights and Freedoms.

Okay GA has income tax and sales tax, but we were one of the first states with must issue CCW. Actually I think one of the model states going back over 30 years.   No exam, no classes, no hassle, fill out form with name, address and swear you're not otherwise ineligible.  In my county I think it's $32 all payable to the probate court clerk.  That includes the fingerprint cost.    When you buy a gun, the CCW and DL is all you need to bypass NICs.

Sure is, but the Dums are trying to change it to "We want to be Northern Mass again"

In New Mexico you go to your gun dealer, choose what you want and they run the NCIS check.  When cleared you get your toy.  You don't have to show any permits, licenses, CCW to buy.  For CCW, you apply, take a course, pass it, pay your money and you get your CCW.  We have income tax and sales tax, not good but not too bad.  In Texas, they have no income tax but high sales taxes.  Comes out the same.
