Reply #10: I am not going to participate. Its an interesting idea all the same

I am not seeing a personal benefit to being licensed, insured or certified - and maybe its stubborness or arrogance that lies at the root of this for me but I know i am qualified and competant to own and use firearms.


As a kid, I competed on rifle ranges, I had small arms training in the Navy and I have been responsible ever since. I never had an " unloaded " gun discharge, nor do I handle them irresponsibly, nor do i have a criminal background. I see it as a privelledge to own and use guns - that can be revoked if warrented.
As for a license - for my current level of usage it is not necessary.

This is just, to me, another inroad into my privacy. If someone wants to voluntarliy suscribe to the expense and training required for a licence, then let that person get a concealed firearms permit from your state Dept of Public Safety.
I guarentee you those licenses are most scrupulously looked into before they are issued.

I am a pedestrian plinker who goes to a rifle range once in a blue moon.
I just prefer the anonymity of not being on anyone's radar - but if I got a concealed weapons permit then sure - that is a matter of public record.
