In which particualar cases would you say are over regulated ? Where I live, in Suffolk County on Long Island. In a nutshell, this is the process I had to go through to get my handgun license and first handgun: 1) Fill out a long application including all previous addresses. 2) Provide three personal references and signed and noarized affadavits from them 3) The references and my employer were all interviewed 4) I had to be fingerprinted & interviewed 5) I was warned of what could disqualify me from being approved. Among them was getting a traffic ticket within the application process timeframe. 6) I was approved after approximately six months from the time I applied 7) I can no purchase a handgun. I went to a gun dealer and made my purchase. But I could not take possession. I had to get a form filled out by the dealer 8) I take the form to the police department and they review the form and then must approve the form and stamp it 9) I take the form back to the dealer and then take possession 10) I have to bring the handgun to the police department for their inspection and then to record the serial number on my license 11) I am only permitted to take the handgun from my home directly to firing range and then directly back home when finished. I cannot make any stops along the way, no exceptions. If I do, I can lose my license. That my friend, is over regulated. Well, you got your gun! Just think what it would be like in the UK. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |
