    What about a takedown gun say in a bug out bag? Personally I don’t see what the problem would be. It’s not a complete firearm until it’s put together. I can see getting in trouble for having a loaded pistol.

    Comments?

    That law would make truckers easier target since they would all be assumed to be unarmed. How 'bout a law that bans criminals from owning guns:)

    To those who don't have the right thinking, Criminals have absolutely divorced themselves from any law except instinct and predatory thoughts for just themselves. Like Piranhas or Gators they would consume each other if the opportunity for gain arose. To the basic Law Abiding Citizen filled with riches beyond compare it is sufficiently a threat as to require arms should such a predator attack.

    Be it far from me to cause any trouble with that concept for those who have not had time to think about People and what is possible when someone decides to be a criminal and try to threaten or actually take another life in the worst way. I suppose they can write laws upon laws until all the paper in the world is exhausted, and the bad guy will gladly wrap the good guy in that mountain of paper and light it.
