Is it true Senator Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein both have a CCW

In their world anmd Bloomberg's only plutocrats should be armed. Bloomberg has referred to NYPD as his own personal army in the past.

Background checks

i just posted on another thread that the elite and wealthy will always have access. Their lives are so much more important than ours and only they can be trusted to safely own weapons.
Hyprocisy in DC is a given.

But I wasn't too much of a fan of hers while living in CA. Barbara Boxer? Now that's what I call a Senator!

Harvey Milk, anyone?

Murdered in cold blood by the Twinkie Defense dude?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's when she armed herself; back when she thought anyone could pop up and kill her...!

Stupid me. I didn't even think of that. WTF?

I still don't like her though!

City Council President Feinstein into Mayor. I remember the press conference she held immediately after the assassinations, announcing the Mayor and Harvey were shot. She was breathless when she announced Dan White was the suspect. She was in an obvious state of shock.

I haven't purchased Twinkies since the court decision. My partner and I raised four sons, they never had Twinkies. They never saw FOX TV of any kind either...it was blocked.

Mayor or Harvey just after they had been shot. That does affect one--how could it not?

I do know people in gov't that have a CCR, but do not carry.

Having it though makes them seem more than a little bit hypocritical if they're now advocating laws that would keep "their subjects" from carrying.

She's against assault weapons, not firearms.

I don't know what the concealed carry laws are in CA

I thought it had to be open carry and unloaded.

Elite is subjective.

It has a way of translating to "whim of the sheriff", which has a way of translating into "be rich and white".

these military-style rifles (assault weapons) account for less than 3% of gun-homicides per year. Hell, more people are killed by "hands/fists/feet" than those evil rifles. By and far it's pistols account for a majority of gun-deaths and multiple shootings (over 70%).

Facts never seem to matter to our hypocrite congress-critters though. Maybe if they had to live by the rules the rest of us do ,they'd be more effective.

Come now...

Are their issues

What capability, autoloading characteristic, or magazine capacity would a politician like the senator put into a gun control law, which would rid us of assault weapons but not the average pistol?

Legislation and regulations dealing with gun control ain't exactly my bailiwick.

Many here have it down to a science, it's truly amazing.

Not that you'd ever do it.

I don't find it hypocritical or bothersome that they have CCW permits. They don't get Secret Service protection like the President yet they have tons of threats. I think it's just good sense to arm themselves to protect themselves. They have a valid reason. They are not raging against other people with a valid reason to have a CCW permit. They are trying to legislate against the wide open ability of any asshole to get a weapon.

violent ex husbands and worthless restraining orders for example that deserve one just as much.

Not to mention people in bad areas, travelers and those who just don't want to be unprepared.

Just for the "important" people apparently.

Not to mention first graders and such.

... Other than conforming to elitist stereotypes?

I actually wondered about Biden since he's been put in charge of the 'task force' and that would be a little tricky if it turned out that he was an avid fan of guns for hunting or targets or some such.

Interesting Personal Note:

Senator Feinstein is a staunch gun control advocate. Despite her stance, in the 1970s, she obtained a concealed firearms carry permit, and carried a handgun with her. A CCW permit was then rare in California, and was the only such permit in San Francisco. At the time, she was the target of a terrorist group that had shot out all the windows in her home. She no longer carries a gun.

milk I think, who was openly gay. She was the first on scene.

I have not heard either say they are for banning all guns. If you have a link where they indicated they would like to ban all guns I would like to see it. However sensible reasoning would conclude if we are having the number of mass shootings in recent years it is time to take some action. NRA wants to put everything on mental illness, movies and video games. While these issues may indeed be a factor the weapons of choice on first shots has been weapons which fire rapidly and has the ability to fire many rounds without changing the source and to hear some brag can be changed in seconds. While the second amendment gives the right to bear arms I have never read where the second amendment gives anyone the right to go on a mass murder of innocent people. It would seem to entice the NRA to tell their members and everyone else this senseless killing has to stop, they would serve everyone to say gun rights will have restrictions and less will be available. I thought at one time the NRA taught gun safety but with the recent events the powers that be are nit even mentioning safety, just blame every one and things but don't think the guns had anything to do with the killings.

I come from a family of great hunters and they do not purchase weapons which overkill the game in which they seek. In fact they use and consume the game and don't throw it away because it is blown to bits. We don't allow jets to take off and land on our freeways, they have airports controlled by air traffic controllers. Don't criticize Feinstein or Schumer for having a CCW, they just might be on the side of reasonable weapons, excellent Senators to sponsor a reasonable weapons ban and not do away with the right to bear arms. Remember the Second Amendment does not allow any and all weapons. The privilege has been abused and now restrictions are required. Don't get mad at those having to make the laws to restrict, get mad at the dealers and manufactures who does not have any control.

Dianne Feinstein, who was then President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, saw White quickly exit Mayor Moscone's office from a side door and called after him. White sharply responded with "I have something to do first."
White proceeded to his former office, and intercepted Harvey Milk on the way, asking him to step inside for a moment. Milk agreed to join him. Once the door to the office was closed, White positioned himself between the doorway and Milk, pulled out his revolver and opened fire on Milk. The first bullet hit Milk's right wrist, as he tried to protect himself. White continued firing rapidly, hitting Milk twice more in the chest, then fired a fourth bullet at Milk's head, killing him, followed by a fifth shot into his skull at close range.
White fled the scene as Feinstein entered the office where Milk lay dead. She grabbed his wrist for a pulse, her finger entering Milk's bullet wound. Horrified, Feinstein was shaking so badly she required support from the police chief after identifying both bodies. Feinstein then tearfully announced the murders to a stunned public, stating: "As President of the Board of Supervisors, it's my duty to make this announcement. Both Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed. The suspect is Supervisor Dan White."

I'm pretty sure that's when she began carrying a gun. I don't think she carries it anymore, though.

Responsibility and accountability and fees and taxes and periodic re-registration...for the monitored privilege of weapon ownership, freedom and protection.

He goes on tirades against guns, and supports a national handgun ban. Yet around 7 years ago, his Grand National was stolen. Guess what was in the glove compartment? A licensed gun. I'm sorry, but limousine liberals are almost as bad as neo-cons. I can't stand them.

O'Donnell is another she don't think anyone should have guns but she also has armed body guards. Who would want that body anyway?

After all while she is a beautiful person, she isn't the American ideal of beauty. You forget that there are CONservatives out there that are judgmental and hateful.

if this issue depends in any way on the sincerity of Chuck Schumer or Dianne Feinstein, God help it.

But it doesn't.

And I do take your point. (And I'll take either of their sincerities over any R's.)

It does kind of undermine the "guns don't make anyone safer" argument, though.

Have a gun for the. Same reason.

For getting rid of assault weapons, stronger background checks, and large capacity magazines

Not a total ban on guns

To your original point for most people guns do not make them or their families safer

In fairness I haven't seen you yourself claim that having a gun doesn't make you safer, but I see it a lot on the board.

She hasn't made it as much of a crusade as assault weapons, true.

Weapons

That has implications beyond concealed weapons

Who gets to decide, our "betters" is who. Our ever trustworthy stewards.

Which incidently I use for hunting squirrel

never let a good photo-op go to waste... (even with a POS Tec-9)



Pinstripe suit and an AK?!?



Either strut around for the cameras with a "Chicago typewriter", or, throw on some low riding baggy jeans, Oakland Raiders baseball cap (worn backwards), or mix and match 3rd World camo.

What staff member/publicist approved of this shit anyways???

And why is he firing the most poorly-designed gun, ever?

you would understand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianne_Feinstein

Feinstein was traumatized by the murder of Harvey Milk. She discovered his body.

So that is probably why she needs a gun carry permit and why she fights hard for gun control.

Never was for a banning of guns, only assault rifles, large clips, and for adequate background checks
and laws

The op is taking a talking pont directly from the right wing talking heads like mark Levin, who do not care what her position actually is, but do what the right wing loves to do intentionally mislead

you do that CCT- Concealed Concern Trolling.
