You just triggered Flee

Why? I actually quite like guns.

Now I'm confused... I thought you were against guns?

Not at all, I'm just against loose gun control laws. I've always been interested in firearms, how they work and what they're capable of. I just don't consider bearing arms a specific right and support strict gun control laws. I think firearms should be reserved for those with training, subject to thorough evaluation and a need or specific use for the firearm, in addition to things like universal background checks and registration of all guns. But in the end, I'm actually more open to the idea of private gun ownership than most Europeans I know.

We actually share a lot of the same views. It'd be hard to reform the US but it will happen eventually. I just hope that it's reasonable like my husband having to wait a week before he could pick up his AK-47. The scary thing is if he had his conceal carry permit (which we are getting for him soon) he could have just walked in and walked out with it. I don't agree with that, but that's how it is in GA (and FL too). They've cracked down on gun-shows at least.

The state should be doing background checks on you when you get your CCL, so that's probably Georgia's justification for waiving your waiting period for holders.
But you guys have a period on long guns? I thought most places that did them only did them for handguns.

Lol you both asked the same question (awesome) but yeah I think the reason he had to wait was for the background check since he bought it about a week after the Orlando shooting. It's a 60 day wait in GA for a CCL. Looking over everything I'm now not sure why he had to wait so long. Maybe it was because he was incarcerated recently. 

Makes sense then.
