[snoopay700]

Well what did you expect, real guns? That's absurd...

[misfit]

things like the city paper and the general retartedness of the city is why iv'e been working on getting my ffl for 2 years with no luck

[drg]

Wait what? How do you go from a PGP being on the wall in a room full of firearms to the paper and city being "retarted"?

the paper is very anti gun, of any kind. a few weeks back when there was a vote on national right to carry there was an article saying that if you feel unsafe leaving your home without a gun, then dont go outside.

Thune's pro-criminal gun amendment
the article i was talking about

A note to those poor gun owners who feel so put out by the inconvenience of not being able to carry their guns past their own state borders: If you're that afraid to travel to other places, stay home. There's only a short leap from the idea of flooding states with people carrying concealed guns to civil war. Especially when you compare U.S. casualties in Iraq since the war began - about 3,000 - with U.S. casualties from guns in a single year: 30,000. Those who don't want to be among the casualties for 2009 should call Specter (202-224-4254 and Sen. Bob Casey (202-224-6324), and urge them to kill this idea. *

so much for the media being unbiased

when i attempted to get my city license i could not get any information on what forms i needed. it was only through my atf agent who gave me a woman's number in the city on who to contact after which she told me to not say i got the number from her. that was just for where to get fingerprinted. before this i was sent so city hall several floors of 900 spring garden where the gun permit unit is located.(this is where i had to get it done i later found out and when i told them that's what i was here for they said they don't do that. i said yes you do and then they went into the back and came back and said OK.) the license says to go to room 500 of the municipal services building. i went there and it is not the coffee room for the tax revenue office. they sent me to the police headquarters to the gun tracking unit and the officer there told me that it hasn't been there for 20 years and he didn't know where that happened now.i was then sent to the sheriff's office the commissioners office the polices leazon(sp) officer's office and the state police. no amount of supervisors have been able to help. when talking to supervisors at licenses and inspections they said they don't know what i have to do and said that there isn't anybody that works here that does. i asked if you are the issuing authority then shouldn't you know what needs to be done? they said go to a gun store and ask them what i need to do. i eventually find some things out and they say i need a police inspection of the premises before i get the license but the police will not come out without a license, i asked how that works, it a circular argument and the woman at the counter said she she didn't know and walked away until i left. the only way i got the form was because one supervisor went back and checked her desk. she found the form in a drawer and she said it was the only one in the building and the only reason she checked there was because when she first started working there she remembered getting one of every form they have. she had it in a folder in some bottom drawer under a bunch of stuff. it is dated 92 or 94 if i remember correct. she said that there is prob a newer one but they don't have it and cant get it.
sorry this rambling is just some of the stuff i have gone through so far. i just get kinda worked up about it now.
p.s. when dealing with all of these people i either get asked "why would you want to do that?" or "let me know when you get it cause i want to buy a gun".

and sorry for the hijack

Do you not understand the concept of an editorial?

I still fail to see what the image of a PGP in a firearms room has to do with any of that.

I only saw part of the title when I clicked on the thread. I was expecting to read about some idiots with paintball guns causing an incident and having police respond. I am relieved that this is not the case; our sport doesn't need that kind of publicity.
