what would happen if a firearm was found in my truck

I've never been stoped and serched at random, in my truck or just walking down the street. As long as your not doing anything or fit a profile it's unlikely your going to have a problem, but if you have to use it then your alive but now your a criminal.

 

That's what alot of folks fail to realize...

You can have all your T's dotted and I's crossed (ie. Concealed permit, registered weapon) however if you use it and then make the phone call 'hey someone just tried to rob me so I put 3 in their chest... send a meat wagon' don't expect a round of high fives when the law shows up. They'll take your weapon and run you downtown till the dust settles.

 

I'm amazed at how many people think like this.. it just can't happen.. no way.. I'm too __________.. it's obviously a choice but I won't count on that kind of thinking..

 

I hope that folks crossing the border with a firearm will actually take the time to read this. There are so many websites that don't know what they are talking about with gun laws.
It is far better to read the actual law in whatever states you are going to be in, than to depend on a website that can say anything they want.

 

That is what the movies and TV have done to our "dumbed down" society. Should you have to use it, your life will never be the same again. In fact, should you have to pull it, and then not need to use it, you are likely to be charged with "Brandishing a Weapon." Particularly if the act is witnessed by friend of the individual(s) that caused you to pull it out in the first place.

Carrying a firearm is NOT a decision to be made lightly. Despite what the entertainment media tells you.

 

This! I was always taught that a weapon is NOT a deterrent, it is a level of force. Meaning, if you pull it, you better be using it. If you want a firearm to wave around and scare people with it, you're doing it wrong.

 

yes it's called the 2nd amendment

 

Yep .. Make em dance...
