You’re not allowed to take the class unless you get the permit first. Your county sheriff can deny your permit for any reason they deem fit. And you still have to pay a nonrefundable application fee for the permit. All this law does is make lawful gun ownership more expensive than illegal gun ownership. How will that prevent crime? It sounds more like a great way to keep modern firearms out of a particular population that is historically on the lower end of socioeconomic class Kinda like how you had to pay a tax to vote. A tax that was a little too expensive for people of a certain socioeconomic class.
You can still get them if you have the finances to take a couple days off work, are white enough for your county sheriff, and can pay for a permit that allows you to take a safety class that you also pay for.
How does requiring a permit to take a class to apply for a modern gun (who’s system must be funded by an already underfunded wildlife agency) going to stop someone from stealing a gun? How does it prevent someone from walking into a movie theater and shooting up the place? How does banning the guns least likely to be used in crime, prevent crime?
Sheriffs will have broad authority to deny applications from people seeking to buy otherwise banned firearms, including those they believe may be a risk to themselves or others. Those who are rejected, however, could file a lawsuit seeking to reverse the decision.
Once someone gets an eligibility card, they must complete up to a dozen hours of training over two days, depending on whether they have already completed a hunter education course, and pass a test. At that point they would be allowed to purchase a weapon otherwise banned under Senate Bill 3.
Trump is a fascist!
Resist!
Also, don’t you dare fight back. Only Trump and his goons should own a gun.
Just admit it Todd. You don’t see them as human beings.
They hope someone will else do it for them.
Just some North Korea shit, nothing to see here. Move along.
Yeah they seem hellbent on fucking over veterans. Just doesn’t make sense to do that to a group of people that recently quit war.
Yep that’s the one!
I bet he’ll stick around and continue being the fall guy for Republicans. Their base will continue to place all the blame on Musk while the Republicans fuck us all.
It’s from a local Fox News station. The local stations are typically less biased (and less insane) than the big cable TV Fox News. Local stations still have issues of course, with most of them being owned by a single company.
I wonder how many journalists are in those chat groups.
Hopefully the judge does order their arrests. Aren’t those people technically following illegal orders anyway?
For combat MOSs, they should all be expected to pass the same physical fitness standard. You either raise the female standard to the same level as males, and have fit females. Or you can lower male standards and have less fit male and female service members in combat. Or you can meet somewhere in the middle and still have less fit male and female service members in combat. Personally, I say raise the female standard for combat MOSs to that of males.
Combat is not about equality. It is about lethality and that is it.
Ever notice how cops tend not to fuck with armed protesters?
New ccw $50 + whatever your county charges. Total is usually over $100. That’s just to apply. You also have to pay for a class, which is usually around $200. Total for new ccw: about $300
Total for renewal: about $250
License for modern gun: unknown so far.
Regardless, this still gonna put the cost of lawful gun ownership out of reach for quite a few people. And for clarity’s sake, those people tend to not be white.
