So I'm talkin' to an old friend yesterday out at the range who just happens to be a long time gunshop owner. I mentioned that one of the things which I love about BP is that the government seems to think that we are harmless, i.e. no National Identity Number required.
His response to me was that it was because BP guns are considered "Non-Guns". HUH??? I've never heard that one before!! From what he told me as a gunshop owner (30+ years), a "Non-Gun" may be possessed by a person who has lost their right to own a "Real" gun, i.e. felony conviction, or restraining order. Now...this is of no concern to me but it does pose an interesting question, at least in my slightly unorthodox mind.
For years I have resisted the temptation to obtain a concealed weapons permit do to the fact that I abhor the government knowing anything more about me than they already do, which is too much already.
Does this mean that I could carry a "Non-Gun" concealed in violation of no federal law??
Does this mean that I could carry a "Non-Gun" un-concealed in the state of Commiefornia??
Please understand, I have no desire to carry BP concealed but I'm interested in the concept.
I will understand if nobody wants to talk about this for fear of calling some politicians attention to it, but if yer up to it, let 'er rip.
