    Wisconsin. The info I have is from the the owner of a gunstore where I would get my firearms in a relaxed area of the state, so it might not be 100% accurate. I haven't purchased either of the afore mentioned items requiring a permit.

    Congrats on winning the CC fight though. You ever go shooting at Bristol?

      I haven't, but I used to live less than an hour away in Kenosha. We would go to a different range to shoot since some of my friends didn't have any of their own and it rented guns if you purchased their ammo.

          California, Illinois, New jersey, New York. Arizona is a constitutional carry, and I think it's the most gun-friendly state.

              It takes less that 10 minutes to break into your garden variety gun safe, too. Unless you've got a built-in concrete-encased carbon fiber and lead-lined vault with a two-ton blast door, you can't rely on it.

                    The folks there appear to be a very pro-gun group of folks - it seems like a good number of people brings guns to work (leaving them in their cars of course). The work looks real interesting, too. :)

                          I think Vermont is considered the most gun friendly state. Don't know if it changed since, but at one time a VT driver's license was all you needed to purchase a gun.

                          Schenectady? What am I doing in Schenectady?

                            Then you'd be surprised at how often it's NOT the case. As I've already stated, Texas ain't the most gun-friendly state in the union...

                            Your right, I am surprised. Michigan isn't as friendly either. You can carry with a permit, just don't shoot anybody.

                                Everyone has to fill out the background check form, but AZ is a constitutional carry state, meaning you don't need a license to carry openly OR concealed. If you can legally own a gun (pass the FBI background check), you can carry it - anytime.

                                  I lived in California for 25 years. I'm fully aware of what it's like.

                                    Everyone has to fill out the background check form, but AZ is a constitutional carry state, meaning you don't need a license to carry openly OR concealed. If you can legally own a gun (pass the FBI background check), you can carry it - anytime.

                                    Did a quick google and found this site crime.about.com[^] for Vermont. No FBI NICS, only a state background check. Only requirement listed there is Record of sale. There is a disclaimer though: Caution: This summary is meant for general purposes only. Firearm laws frequently change.

                                      In his previous job, the employer had the guns. Remember he was working at an Army base. :laugh:

                                        Cheap Indian-made whiskey. Or, IMFL (India Made Foreign Liquor) as it is designated by the Government regulators in India. India's MF Liquor is a good description for it. :wtf:

                                          I't can't be as bad as some wine we bought in Bangkok - every bottle in the case was identical, but the contents varied from drinkable white through to paintstripper via gawd-knows-what-it-is-but-I'm-not-drinking-that.
