Democrat carries gun while in home district

It would certainly be interesting if the biggest proponents of gun control measure were seen to be packin' heat.

Ok for them, not for the "little people", I suppose.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Diane Feinstein has one of the only CCW licenses issued in the city of San Francisco....

And I think Sarah Brady did a "straw purchase" and bought a relative a 30-06 rifle for Christmas, while wanting to make it a felony to transfer a firearm without a federal background check...

She bought the Gun for her son if I remember right. I thought that was allowed.

Yes straw purchases are when you are buying a gun for someone you think cannot get one legally. If you just want to buy a gift, you can. And depending on your state laws, you can give it directly - most allow parent-child transfers freely. Now if I were to buy my buddy a nice .44 mag revolver, as a gift for having his 4th son, I'd buy it, then transfer it at the gun store to my friend (to be PA compliant.)

Thanks. I've only bought guns for myself, my wife and my kids. What di you get for the third kid? A 308?

It is.

That is why I put it in quotes. She doesn't believe that you or I have the right to own a gun much less buy one and give it to someone else as a gift or sell it to them without doing a transfer through a FFL but it is perfectly okay for her to do it.

The shop owner should have refused to sell to her.

Stopped in my local shop on Saturday and my rep was in there purchasing a little .380 to carry.

[David Thomas]

he received a death threat a couple of years ago, and started carrying concealed then. He also urges his aids and staff to carry concealed.

he seems like a very level headed blue dog democrat.

Good. More people need to shoot back.

I was at a kabob place in NoVA and was having a civil but frank discussion with my Muslim host about women's rights in Islamic countries. 2 Muslims started swearing at me and stormed off.

Hopefully they'll storm off right back to their shit hole country of origin and rejoin the stone age...sorry couldn't resist
