buildit Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 - Renewals must show proof that they attended at least 12 hours range time per year (in any increments) as proven by receipts. Hours of training count double. So for someone like me who has their own outdoor range and shoots once a week on average I'm supposed to take a video of my time? Or should I just refer them to You Tube? How about requiring CPZ to accept financial responsibility for and damage caused by a criminal who uses a firearm on the premisses. That or require armed security guard. One guard for every person on the premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I just refer them to You Tube? Where the hell did you get the video comment from? Just a log book or piece of paper that you file. You would attest that it is accurate, like a tax return. That's it. Two hours on the range at home? "2012-12-31 2 hours" There you go. I'm open to other ideas to encourage ongoing training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is the lack of shooting time a big issue in Vermont? Untrained, unlicensed gun carriers killing people willy-nilly from missed shots or mishandling?Nope?Well, there you go. Let's just go with "bear arms" and "shall not be infringed" and let freedom work itself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are a shitload of lefties who inhabit that state, so not sure how many carry anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If we are a free state then why don't we already have this? Why did we not have this under a Republican majority?We are not in a free state and you suggesting additional gun laws will surely slow down the process of us ever getting there. The makeup of our state legislature is very disappointing regardless of what party is in power. Some of them are like you, gun owners that like gun laws and are the enemy from within. Sometimes we have to vote for the lesser of two evils. I do have a very hard time asking for more laws and regulations no matter what good intentions people see as a possible outcome.

Let's just go with "bear arms" and "shall not be infringed" and let freedom work itself out.A strict reading of "Shall not be infringed" requires that violent felons be able to own guns. How strict do you want to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 there is "right" and there is "realistic" and "abominable but livable"pick one, varying on a scale of "pigs fly" to "pipe dreams" to "maybe possible"just like the would be gun confiscators are working in baby steps, we too must do the same.

Uncle Punk Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 A strict reading of "Shall not be infringed" requires that violent felons be able to own guns. How strict do you want to get?Once released from prison is his life less valuable than yours that he shouldn’t be afforded the right to self protection or to join others in arms against a tyrannical government? What leads you to believe that you are superior to others that your life is more valuable? Shall. Not. Be. Infringed. If the felon is dangerous' date=' why is he not still incarcerated? Don't parallel my love of freedom with the epic failure of your government officials.[/quote']Exactly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't jail all violent felons for life. There are an estimated 6 million felons in this country. 1 in 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If a man or woman has done their time, I have little problem with them being allowed to protect themselves with a gun just like the rest of us. They followed out their sentence and paid their dues IMHO, of course I guess it "could" depend on what they were incarcerated for in the first place. I feel really bad for many that get out, they are looked upon as vermin and not always given a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
