I don't agree with this mentality. It's arrogant, dangerous and can land you in jail/prison or worse. This is an emotional sentiment. Just because these laws are wrong and/or infringe on our 2nd amendment rights doesn't mean they aren't enforceable by law enforcement. The moment we stop obeying the laws; again regardless of their legality etc., is the moment that the argument that these laws hurt "law abiding citizens" goes out the window. It just plays right into the gun grabbing left's hands. That's what they want us to do. Should we resist and fight back against those that try to take our rights; absolutely! But let's make sure we are doing it in the correct way. Not with violence of our own. If you are a responsible gun owner, then you know that you want to de-escalate the situation and not escalate it or make it worse. This means that disobedience to the law shouldn't be an option. To do so makes us no better than the criminals. Instead, being patient and letting the courts settle these issues is what we need to do. That's what they are there for.

tell me about it

[@BSM7702]

there's many good people that carry without a license due to wait times. I don't blame them. protection is always #1 priority. everything else can wait. Why should criminals get that luxury only?! Ass-backwards

[@javieriribe8699]

It is even worse in the sad state of CA

[@scrapyardprospecting3855]

2 questions one what part of shall not be infringed do they not understand two where does it say that a state can take away a constitutional right????? It dosnt!!!!

[@mEnTL32]

Thank you WBFF for coming at this issue from another angle

[@DankyDankenstein]

In clown world, the victims are the criminals and the criminals are a protected class that are complexity funded by government.

[@coyote520]

Here in Arizona, the cost to carry a firearm, is the cost of the gun. That's it. You walk into the store, pass the ridiculous Brady Check, which takes about 20 min, you pay for the gun, take it out of the store, and carry it any way you want to. No register, no license, no permits, and no fees. THAT'S the way it should be.

[@cup0fjoe_788]

Still a lot cheaper to get than over here in California-stan

[@BigCityCountryBoi]

I Love my country of Texas...constitutional carry

[@montizzlefoshizzle7131]

Do like me. I carry high power pellet pistols loaded with hornet pellets, bear spray, and a knife. May not sound like much but you wouldn't want to be on the other end of that combo and it's perfectly legal😎

[@KING48168]

Like many other states, North Carolina enacted a stand your ground law in 2011. Under N.C.G.S. 14.51. 3, individuals have the right to defend themselves using deadly in their homes, motor vehicles, and workplaces.

[@Stanginsean281]

I love this point about gun control is being pointed out. Huge props to this news organization for running this piece. The ultimate irony is criminals are the only ones not affected by gun control laws

[@davidchase9424]

Does the 2nd Amendment mention anything about a cost? Because I don't remember reading that in my Constitution.

[@alessiob8700]

I don't get why ccw classes can't be free just like hunter's ed. Where are the gun associations here?

[@robertparsons1350]

I am an NRA Firearms Instructor in Florida and offer all CCW Cert. classes for free including 1 hour per student range time. I believe all Instructors should at the very least offer the CCW class for free.

[@bighaasfly]

That’s about the most reasonable news report about firearms as I’ve ever heard. Very very rare.

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

This is madness. We need a law that bans using stolen guns in crimes!

[@notdisclosed]

There should be a law that says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed... oh, wait.

[@scot0151]

I’m from a gun friendly state that is non-reciprocal from California. I drove to California and carried for almost three weeks while I was there. I basically thought like a criminal and said “fuck it” guess I’ll worry if I have to use it. It felt good to get back home , and not have to worry about stupid gun laws that only concern law abiding citizens.

[@charlescarmichael1124]

The leftists are always complaining about lack of training. Let’s solve that problem and another one at the same time. Let’s bring in the NRA to do what they were founded to do. Teach gun safety. Start in elementary school with the basic rules of gun safety. In junior high start talking about the results of not following those rules,… Gun injuries, death and dismemberment, etc. In high school make EVERY student go through a carry class. It teaches them the laws of deadly response, reinforces gun safety rules. When they graduate high school they’ve completed all of the required training including range time. A high school diploma is now your concealed carry license.

[@6ixspeedstang186]

Good thing I have my pistol and AR. Not budging on any of this gun shit. Us Georgia peeps will have ours that we’ve had for years. Better get yours.

[@pedrorodriguez2914]

2A supression tactics,unconstitutional.

[@chuckamdamyd]

What this article isn't telling you is if you apply for your wear and carry permit the hql is free with the package... if you do decide to go hql then ccw permit it will cost you double the fees for the hql and the same fees or more for the ccw and training. And depending on the instructor if your law enforcement ,military, first responders they tend to give a reasonable discount for these fields of employment.

[@NYRM1974]

You think it's expensive in Maryland try New York it's even more expensive. And if you want to do armed security in New York you got to go through 40 hours it's going to cost you a fortune and when do you have the time to complete all this training.....? In New York you have to take a 16-hour course then you have to do two hours at a gun range with an instructor. Then you have to have your social media and your political views put under the microscope we haven't even gotten into Nassau or Suffolk County yet which requires our urine test not go figure that one out. Does it get even better..... how long do you think it takes for a criminal to obtain a firearm all they have to do is steal it or acquire it through the underground. Meanwhile while your character is being challenged to determine your suitability to be conferred a Firearms permit criminals don't have to abide by any laws

[@jondoe406]

Criminals get to Constitutional Carry. Law abiding citizens gotta pait and wait.

[@brixalpha]

This is just the bare minimum for legal carry, doesn't include additional training, practice and legal defense insurance that isn't required but highly recommended.

[@bp6877]

You're 100% correct: My $300 handgun, in truth, has cost me over $1,500 in just one year of ownership.

[@Bcharns]

Moving out of the People’s Republic of Maryland 10 years ago was the best move of my life! Florida is now a Constitutional Carry State 👍

[@terrymendola2]

Criminals are now the protected. Law abiding citizens ... penalized, persecuted and prosecuted.

[@Tinker3504]

I appreciate this actually being reported. Now for lawmakers to actually listen 🤦‍♂️

[@Anthony74te27]

Not to mention most state with restrictive gun laws only allows 10 round magazine for law abiding citizens while criminals carries standard mag capacity or some cases the long stick 33 mag.

[@MikeA817]

Make sure you share this to as many of your anti-gun friends and family as possible.

[@ChuckThree]

Mr. Noah Johnson did a great job articulating what the issues are for lawful citizens being persecuted

[@nickgironda8932]

This is all coming to an end. It CANNOT CONTINUE.

[@Nick_B_Bad]

I applaud you Noah Brown! Thank God I’m in Ohio where we don’t need any permits and private gun sales are still king.

[@RezaQin]

Criminals will ALWAYS carry, no matter the laws.

[@jackyoung2441]

Permits are $20 per year in Alabama, fill out paper work then a background check is ran. About a 20-30 minute process. No classes needed.

[@opencarry3860]

I'm so thankful to be living in Idaho where you can purchase a firearm without needing a permit, no waiting periods, no carry permits needed for concealed or open carry. BTW, Idaho is ranked number four in overall crime where one is lowest and 50 is highest. The top four of five states ranked the lowest are Constitutional carry states with very little restrictions.

[@chrissmith9151]

Restricting rights is what government does. You just have to make sure you don't let it go too far.

[@bsavagestudios]

It costs approximately $1.40 to print out a .40 S&W SD40... And approximately $14.76 to print out a fully automatic roller delayed MP5...

[@TheCaptainbigboy]

Wow real news! I didn’t think this actually existed anymore. Keep up the great work!
