In reply to the discussion: Albuquerque Lawful Gun Owner and Hidden Criminal Finally Disarmed [View all]rl6214
(8,142 posts)15. Are you talking about yourself here?
"The gun-rights folks often pretend to not understand what we mean by "hidden criminal." It's not that difficult a concept really. Among the huge body of people called gun owners there is a certain percentage that is unfit to own guns even though they do so legally. Some of these are actually criminals who simply have not picked up the required convictions to lose their gun rights. These are "hidden criminals." "
You did say you were a legal and illegal gun owner.
"After the military I owned guns both legally and illegally over a period of about 15 years." - Mike B.
