“to effectuate”? Ha ha I love it. I suspect this is the first time a gun owner has ever used the verb “to effectuate” with a gun transaction.😳
You just effectuated a wonderful laugh from me!😀

Hurr durr gun owners iz dum dums.

The gun owners I know: Ivy graduates, MDs, PhDs.

I have to say this question scares me. I’m glad most people don’t have firearms here.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but if you're in Maryland and you don't already have a gun permit, you're SOL.

I'm proud that Maryland has some of THE strictest, toughest gun laws in the country... you have to jump through massive hoops to be approved and it's a difficult, time consuming process.

In 2018, two new measures were introduced to the ballot — banning bump stocks and a repeal of the state’s Handgun Permit Review Board, making our gun laws even more iron clad and making guns more difficult to obtain without a permit.

If you're in Maryland you can walk into Dick's or Bass Pro and buy a rifle/shotgun - the background check takes about 30 minutes, no permit needed. I would actually recommend those for a first time owner (a rifle especially because recoil is not too bad and easily absorbed by your pectoral/shoulder muscles, and they are easier to learn how to site and aim) - along with gun safety classes and lessons/target practice at a range - I'm a former state correctional agency firearms instructor. A gun will do you no good if you don't know how to properly use and care for it.

I would not recommend a hand gun for a first time user because some people, especially women (I'm a female), have problems with the grip being too big for their small hands, and not able to control the recoil without practice and grip strength training. I have seen a lot of people get popped in the face or lose control of the weapon because they aren't expecting what happens after discharge.

Just watching Trump's press conference and I am seriously scared now. We have an incompetent fool in charge during a crisis. We are screwed.

Where do you get a used gun? Do you still need to pass a background check to buy a used gun?

TIA

Sorry, missed today's press conference, did he say something in particular today that made you scared or was it just the same as every press conference?

I guess it was just like all the other press conferences, but next to the coherent and intelligent medical expertise of Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci talking about how serious this is and that we are right now at a point where cases will explode if we don't follow the guidance of the president, and then hearing the president talking incoherently -- I just got it that we are in deep trouble because we have an idiot in charge. Who is going to follow his guidance? Trump says it's a very serious situation that is going to get worse before it gets better, and then two minutes later he says it's no worse than the flu and we need to reopen the economy. So yeah, no one who follows Trump will do what we need to do to flatten the curve. We are going to go down because he has told his base that it's a hoax and that's what they decided to run with.

He was asked to comment about how people are applauding health care workers on the front lines and would he like to say something about it, and he couldn't do it. It was a soft lob in his direction and he couldn't even hit it. He said, "Have you seen those doctors going into the hospital? They're putting on those paper gowns, and they're walking into the hospital, and I know that hospital, I grew up next to that hospital, and to see that, to see them put on those paper gowns, they put them on and they walk in, and people clap. They clap. It's amazing. They clap for them." WTF he can't even make a coherent statement thanking health care workers on the front lines.

We are doomed.

This all just seems really odd. Are you sure you’re not an NRA bot here to plug guns for the common man/woman?

Yes, Trump is a blathering idiot and it would be so much better to have somebody competent in charge.

But how on earth is a gun going to solve anything? You keep saying “we’re going down” and “we’re doomed.” Do you actually think there’ll be rioting in the streets and violence against the privileged? Race riots? Today’s kids will rise up against their parents because of the massive debt we’re taking on? Because we’re a long way from any of that. Assuming we get COVID under control in a few months, and we elect a better president in November, we’ll have the opportunity to put the economy back on track. My only long-term worry is the massive debt we’re taking on, sometimes for dubious reasons.

We are not going to get the virus under control. That would take a disciplined approach and that's not happening because we have no leadership. Trump has already told people we should go back to work because the effect on the economy is worse than the virus. So people are listening to him and acting like the virus not a big deal. We're not going to flatten the curve. Lots of people are going to get sick. The economy won't get back on track for a long, long time AND we aren't going to get the virus under control. It's a shame we will get the worst of both options. At least if we shut down the economy and got the virus under control it would be worth it but that's not going to happen because Trump followers have been given mixed messages. Maybe we will all go on welfare?

So which are you going to shoot? The virus or the economy?

Or do you really envisage some sort of Mad Max scenario?

Maybe stop voting for fools who want to enact ill-conceived gun control laws that don’t stop gun violence but do prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting their families.

I think it is. You would be never know unless we went to the range together. Otherwise I’m just another white collar professional living in a big suburban home in a nice neighborhood. But stigmatize all you want, it’s a good look for you.

Do looters give advance warning? Is there a time schedule where you know they'll be at your house so you can plan to be awake and meet them gun in hand?

Are you ply to take patrol shifts with your spouse or neighbor?
