Guns and stuff	SCOOBY	07/25/04
Hello excon, This one you don't need to make private. I'd like to get feedback from other people. How much can I expect to spend on a small video camera? And is a time delayed VCR different from a regular VCR? I live in California and not sure how linient this state is on guns in the first place let a lone a hand carry permit. What do you know about what is involved in getting a hand carry permit? I had bought a gun at one time, but after complaining to my credit card company, the police came to pick it up from my home because it was defective. I think the merchant called the police to come and pick it up after possibly lying to them. I never replaced it because I started hearing that the government has been making certain guns illegal but not publicing which ones but still holding gun owners responsible. It is my understanding the goverment isn't big on it's citizens owning guns. What can you tell me about what I have been hearing? What is a marksman course? Is that practice shooting at a range?
Clarification/Follow-up by SCOOBY on 07/31/04 4:05 am: Hello Fr_Chuck Thank you for all the great information. I think contacting and even joining a Gun organization might give me the confidence to buy another gun. I looked through one of the websites you listed and it took me to an article dated Friday July 30, 2004 regarding home evasion by police to confiscate people's guns. I will keep an eye out on the update of this case and keep looking at other gun organizations. I am interested in knowing whether these organizations actually help people who get harassed by the government for having a gun as in this case. No one has a legal right to have a gun unless there is an attorney or an organization that will stick up for us and protect our legal right to have one if and when the government attempts to take it away from us. And as I mentioned before, the government has made it clear that they have the right to outlaw any gun anytime they want without any notice to us whatsoever and that means they can throw anyone in jail any time they feel like it. And in this recent situation the police just broke into people's houses to take their guns.

Yes, there are many, including myself that do fear what the government could do if it continues on its socialist path. And sadly when you buy new guns fron gun shops you are merely giving the Government the info on who buys and sells guns, how many you have bought and so on. Of course if you buy from private individuals, which is legal, there is no real paper trail, except of that the people you buy from have. That is why many people prefer to buy from large gun shows, from private dealers or individuals in cash. At least some of our guns like that and of course a good survialist would never have all thier guns in one place and always have some hiden ( not that I know any people like that, just an example)
