    Yeah - the ATF even GIVES them guns. No background check or anything.

      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.

                                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.
