Gun Laws And What You Should Know

By Janet Cook


Talk about the new firearm laws is all over the news and the internet, but the reality is that most preppers and prepping activities will be largely unaffected. How can that possibly be? Well, let's take a good look at preppers and prepping and how the new gun laws will really affect them.

Boarding Planes - stun guns cannot be brought inside an airplane. If you are travelling with one it must be placed with your other checked-in baggage. It is also important that you declare it properly with the rest of the contents of your baggage.

You might say I am way out of line to make that statement, but in my own defense, I'd like to cite; history. I'd like to point out how socialist nations fail. At that point individual gun owners will need to protect their property and family from either the mass mobs, or the government coming after whatever they have left after the government runs out of other people's money to spend.

The Brady Act is a federal law that requires all federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) to conduct background checks on all potential buyers of firearms. However, it is estimated that 40 percent of all firearms purchases are from private sellers, and therefore not subject to background checks pursuant to federal law. Every state, however, except Vermont, has state laws that require some sort of background checks for potential gun purchasers or possessors.

After completing this requirement, individuals must seek out a licensed California firearms dealer to purchase their weapon of choice. The arms dealer will collect information about the individual, which he or she will use to have a background check performed on the potential buyer.

The background check usually takes 10 days. During these 10 days, the dealer will usually require a monetary deposit from the buyer and will have possession of the handgun until the 10 days period passes. An individual who is found to have a criminal background will not be able to receive the gun at the end of the 10 days.

Without this dominating the news, you would have to bring up these topics 'out of the blue' in order to do some "recon" and figure out who you could go to or count on during a crisis. So think of this current situation as a great intelligence-gathering opportunity.

If you are doing your job as a prepper, your need for guns is minimal for two reasons. First, you are exercising good "operational security" and are not talking to everyone about your preps. The first rule of prepping is to keep quiet about what you are doing so that every one in the neighborhood isn't knocking down your door when a catastrophe happens and they aren't prepared.

Various state laws regulate what circumstances, if any, in which a person may carry a concealed weapon in public. Only two states, Illinois and Wisconsin, do not allow the carrying of concealed weapons. Two other states, Alaska and Vermont, do not require a permit to carry a concealed weapon, while the remaining states allow for concealed weapons, but only with a valid permit.
