[L 1978, c 111, pt of §2; am L 1984, c 215, §1; am L 1995, c 169, §1]
Only if a soldier will carry those weapons on the battlefield.
BTW, chemical & biological weapons are illegal, even though Iraq and Syria have/have used them.
Artillery isn't a "carry" item for soldiers.
Prohibiting Full auto - Agree. Full auto has no real life usage except war. Only makes accuracy plummet. Maybe heavily regulate this.
There is no real reason for owning a 600HP automobile except to race either, but they're not illegal. And, FYI, full auto is legal on the Federal level, just not our state. In states that allow full auto ownership, none are used in crimes....
Prohibiting Suppressors/Silencers - Agree. Although they dont make a firearm completely silent in most cases.
Why? The benefits, even if they don't make the firearm totally silent, it does reduce the decibel levels dramatically which could help with hearing loss. In some European countries, they are required for hunting so as not to disturb the other wildlife.
Assault Weapons Ban - Disagree. I think most firearm related crimes involve handguns anyway.
Prohibiting Felons, Domestic Violence, Violent Criminals From Owning Firearms - Agree. Criminals never learn. Possibly even certain or specific number of drug convictions.
Do you agree with the Lautenberg Amendment that makes those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence ineligible to own firearms? Should non-violent felons be allowed to own firearms?
Prohibiting Certain Diagnosed Mental Disorders - Agree.
Which ones?
Background Checks - Agree because you need this for criminal and mental disorder checks.
Permit to Purchase - Agree just because of the required checks that would be performed and this would show proof you are fit. Obtaining a permit should be more streamline and done in a timely manner
What other core Constitutional rights do you advocate a permitting process for?
Prohibiting Explosives. - Agree. Current law for this is satisfactory. Again, no real life situation to own explosives besides construction and war
Should that include reactive targets like Tannerite?
Limiting Magazine Capacity - Disagree. Getting around this is easy by carrying more magazines.
Uhhh, no. You wake up in the middle of the night to noise in your house and grab your self-defense handgun. You are quickly confronted by three home invaders. I don't know about you, but I want maximum capacity in the magazine I have in that gun because the likelihood of me (or you) being able to grab additional magazines is pretty low....
Registration of Firearms - I am mixed. As an American right, it shouldnt require registration. I can see registration being used against us in the the future tho. It should be required to report stolen a firearm tho registering would help enforce that. Registration should be done in a easier and more timely manner. I like the idea of holding gun owners liable for their firearms like locking it up when you arent home!
So what are the penalties for not reporting it and what time frame must you report it missing? As for the liability issue, why should the owners be responsible if a criminal breaks into their house and steals their gun and then uses it criminally? Does the car owner who has his car stolen get charged with a crime if he didn't have his vehicle in a secure and locked garage when it was stolen?
Allow Concealed Carry only after meeting certain requirements
A person has taken a CC training class which would include firearm training and legal training - Agree
What would that training consist of? Who gets to decide? Does the legal training have to be by a lawyer? How long does the training have to be?
A person has to obtain a permit to CC a firearm (maybe even to include the specific firearm allowed to carry on it) - Agree just because if training is required, permit shows proof. It shouldnt matter what firearm you are allowed to carry unless the training class performs an accuracy proficiency on that particular firearm like how LEOs do.
So you should have to show proficiency with any firearm you may want to carry? What if the gun you "tested with" breaks and you want to carry another one but haven't "tested out" on it yet? Can you do an "emergency" qualification so you don't have to be unarmed while you wait to schedule your proficiency test?
A person cannot carry a CC firearm while they are intoxicated - 100% agree. Maybe similar to a DUI tolerance
So I can have a few beers and still be legal to drive my car, which kills many more people each year than guns, but I cannot carry my firearm?
Allow Open Carry - Disagree. Open carry just doesnt make sense except for LEOs. Just causes unwanted public attention. I would only agree to open carry if you are required to have a permit and identify yourself with a government picture ID. I watch too much of those Oregon open carry youtube clips and it irritates me. Just think if a felon open carries and you arent required to identify yourself.
Speaking your mind on your proverbial soapbox on the corner of the street or in a park often draws unwanted public attention, should that be illegal? Loud preaching on a sidewalk is also bound to garner unwanted public attention, should that also be illegal? As for the felon, you're comfortable with him carrying concealed? You may not "like" open carry, or agree with it, but it is, especially where no permit is required, one of the purest means by which to express your Second Amendment rights.
Required to Notify LEO you are Carrying Upon Being Stopped - Agree. Just because of the nature of their job.
Why? As any LEO will tell you, they automatically assume that anyone they stop is carrying. Try and find that video of the Ohio guy who was berated and threatened to be shot by the cop arresting him because he didn't tell the cop he was carrying "quick" enough. And that is the problem. If there is a mandatory disclosure to law enforcement, there will always be the ability of a "bad apple" making a case out of you not telling him "soon enough." And, is a disclosure mandatory on an non-consensual stop, or is it mandated for a consensual stop, meaning that anytime an LEO said anything to you, including "good morning" as you passed on the street, you'd be mandated to disclose you were carrying a firearm....
If we did have CCW and something like this happened, would it be legal to shoot the guy? What would be the appropriate way to do so or what would YOU do?I believe it would be legal. You are preventing an aggressor from doing further harm. Just make sure youre positive the gunman is the aggressor and not a CCW protecting him/herself. Just try get the story straight in that short amount of time and react accordingly.
The worst part oregon is a open carry state. Dont know if the mall was a gun free zone.I'm sorry but I dont understand open carry. Yea I get it but you also could just get attacked from behind where the aggressor could just neutralize you or your gun first and then do greater harm later. He/she could take or maybe use your own gun against you. Basically put unwanted attention on yourself. CCW is way more practical IMO. I spoke with a retired officer once and he said that every hot call they go to is potentially a gun call... they bringing it to one (since it's obviously on their hip). At least with CCW, the potential attacker doesnt know it... until youre pointing it at him/her.
Well, I'm not sure Mr. Young's lawsuit did any good at all for anyone. We are already in the court of appeals above him (and further along) with my case challenging CCW.I just think if he didn't ask for $2M, there would have been a better chance of winning. Although the court could have just awarded him a CCW permit and no money if they wanted to. Ah well. I do think if you have a real legitimate reason, l like a crazy violent ex stalking you and threatening you, one should be granted a CCW permit. At least for a certain amount of time like a drivers license and just gotta renew with your grounds. At least that would be the best for both liberals and conservatives. And im sure most cities are self insured to a certain extent.
As far as the money goes, cities do have insurance policies for some of this (as far as I understand), so some judgments may come out of that policy.
