What if, one day the police come knocking on your door and tell you that you bought a pistol at a flea market that has been stolen? That means you have to give up the pistol and lose the money you paid for it. Some flea market sellers are those who have bought or stolen the weapon or are fronting them for someone else who filed the serial numbers off, and are trying to dump it off on unsuspecting buyers. Others are honest sellers but how do we tell the difference? I stay away from flea markets altogether.

My husband once bought a relatively new shotgun from a man that he had known for some time and thought him to be honest. One day there was a knock on his office door and the police told him that the acquaintance had stolen the gun in a home invasion and was arrested. When questioned he told them that he sold it to my husband. He gave it to the police and it was returned to the owner.

I don't get your use of the words "Big Brother." I don't believe such a person or organization exists and it's a name that came into being while some old guys sat under an oak tree on the court house square, whittling, chewing and spitting, and telling tall tales.

I have no idea how many guns you own or why you are so afraid that someone will come into your house searching for any. I have heard that tale all of my life but have never seen, heard, or read of it happening in any city or community. It's like looking under the bed for the boogy man.

After last weekend I am more in favor of concealed and open carry permits. They can only be issued to law abiding citizens who have had a background check. Those are not the people we have to be concerned with.

Last Sunday morning at about 5:10 am, about 15 miles from my house, some people in a black Suburban drove up beside a SUV, at a 4-way stop, and opened fire killing a 17 year-old boy and critically injured two other passengers. When the Suburban was stopped in another county and the people inside arrested, police found 2 AK-47s that had been used in the shooting. Those people were not law abiding gun carriers but they did "buy and hide" the weapons. To each his own decision but, as for me, I choose to keep it legal and be a good law abiding citizen all the way.

What are y'all thinking?

The federal government doesn't have the right to impose gun laws on states. A bloated federal government is one of the biggest problems we have in the U.S.

I don't think it's the federal government that does that. It is done according to state laws; that's why some are open carry and some are concealed carry permits. I've forgotten the details, but doesn't Texas have a law that allows all (or most) of it's citizens to carry guns without a permit? I could see how that might be a problem in a redneck bar.

I UNDERSTAND, but they already have.......and what we have today is a serious mess of bull..........

If they want to pass something that honors conceal carry everywhere, then I'm all for it.......If they want to repeal all gun laws, and go back to a pure and simple SECOND Amendment, I'm all for that too.......

I just wanna be able to conceal carry wherever.......fed land, state parks, corp land, dnr land.........ACROSS borders, on the border, above the border........where ever. Without the chance of going to jail because some state or some area doesn't allow it.

You and I BOTH know that if you're caught carrying and you're not supposed to be carrying you're in a world of hurt. I choose not to right now because loss of a job, or loss of wages, or LOSS of privileges or PRISON are not cool ideas to me.....

Later,

You all remember this? Thank the NRA for getting this started and passed.

We either have the right to own and carry weapons, or we dont!If you have to have a permit, then its not a right, its a priviledge.Felons have weapons, did the law stop them from having them? Everyone anywhere, should be allowed to openly carry a weapon.That or scrap that ammendent to the constitution!
