I, like Slavo, am against the idea of them. If I own the firearm and I own my person then whose permission do I need to conceal carry (or open carry) in a public place. A crime cannot occur until someone is harmed or threatened, but that does not stop the government from “outlawing” things at worst or requiring you bow at their altar to receive a permission slip at best.
I am sure there will be detractors that says this is “necessary” and that the Md pigfuk doing this is only an isolated incident or that he was just doing his job or better safe than sorry. But the problem with people who use that rationale is that they have shit for brains.
It’s a crock of shit; this is my CCW:
Original HERE.
Agreed the 2 amendment is your gun permit. If only we followed the law of the land. It is. A dead document. So, in this day and time we need goverment permission. That is the reality in which we live.
You’re not officially born without a Birth Certificate.
You can’t get married without a Marriage License.
You’re no officially dead without a Death Certificate.
So, needing a CCW from Control Freak, Inc. is hardly a surprise.

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.”
– Adolf Hitler

German Weapons Law
On November 11, 1938, the Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, passed Regulations Against Jews’ Possession of Weapons. This regulation effectively deprived all Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons.

Mrs.Filippidis very deliberately , even if in a panic, threw her husband under the bus.
If I were Mr. Filippidis ,there would be a divorce in short order. A woman who can’t shoot , flaps her gums before her brain engages and doesn’t back her man up ain’t much of a partner in my opinion. In the long run she will likey be the source of his undoing.
Decades ago in the UK, Mr Blair decided to ban legally held guns after the “Dunblane Massacre” where a deranged chap (with a Legally obtained gun) killed a few of the locals. The inconvenient fact that the issuer of the Gun Licence (the local Chief Constable) has a legal duty to ensure the user is safe to possess and use a gun, never emerged during all the very public hand-wringing. Certainly, there were neither complaints nor sanctions against the local Constabulary in this regard.
So, “everyone” supported the criminalisation of almost any gun, and the “law” was passed in both Houses by an almost unanimous vote, effectively ending the ability of most people to own any firearm.
Think this might have reduced UK gun crime?? Think again – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-154307/Gun-crime-soars-35.html, and – http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3644/britain_wants_its_guns_back
I wish them luck, since once “The Government” has your means of enforcing your interests removed, you’ll not be getting them back without quite a fight.
IMO, if anyone is going to carry a gun, concealed or other wise, then they need to attend and pass a
handling and shooting proficiency test. They should also be made aware of the laws regarding the use of deadly force and have to pass a test on current laws pertaining to carrying a gun/weapon, self defense and lawfully defending others lives. Other than that, live and let live.

Am I missing something here?
Since when does one register the GUN when getting a CCL?
There are elements of this story that make no sense. And this was not a man who takes CCW seriously. No one who is serious relies on a Kel-tec P3AT. It’s a tertiary level gun at best, tiny and light weight but often not reliable.
@DC Sunsets There is no indication that Fillippidis’ obtaining the CCW permit also registered the gun as well. He probably (evidently?) registered it at a separate time, probably at the time of purchase. It seems reasonable to conclude that he first got the CCW and then bought/registered the gun.
As far as the inadequacy of the gun, well, that’s his choice. A person’s right to carry a gun doesn’t cease because he chooses a wimpy gun.
What bothers me is when businesses put signs up that no weapons or no guns allowed. How do they have any right to override my Constitutional right to carry and protect myself?
Whenever someone must buy a license or pay a fee to exercise a right, then it is something less than a right. It is in fact a mere privilege, subject to the whim of petty bureaucrats. Fundamental rights are not abstract tokens that are given or sold by other men. They are in fact primary liberties bestowed upon us by God, our maker. Rights are not substantially secured by asking, “Mother may I?” of any government agency. Rights are more properly demanded or boldly seized and then conspicuously exercised regularly. This secures the liberties that have legitimately belonged to us since birth. If need be, lost rights can and must be restored through proscriptive use. If you live in a land where your rights have been marginalized into privileges, then it is either time to change your government, or to change your address. Much like a muscle that atrophies with disuse, any right that goes unexercised for many years devolves into a privilege, and eventually can even be redefined as a crime.-James Wesley Rawles, Survivalblog.com
KaD, it’s about property rights. They have as much right to discriminate against anyone they wish on THEIR property. No shirt, no shoes, no service.
