Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

What state with constitutional carry requires a purchase permit?! That’s not constitutional. You likely only need to purchase from an FFL and confirm you are not a prohibited person, I.e., felon, etc.
I haven't purchased a weapon since the law changed. I just know that it used to be that without a concealed permit, one would have to go to the sheriff's office and get a purchase permit prior. With the concealed permit I could just fill out the paperwork, wait 5 minutes while they file it or do whatever they do, then hand them cash and leave.
You can check the rules for your state online. The only reason to have a concealed carry permit in a constitutional state would be if you want to routinely carry across lines to a non-constitutional state. My attitude is that it’s none of the state’s business as to what I have. The police and others in your state should just assume that it’s possible that you’re carrying. “An armed society is a polite society.”
Agree. Never occurred to me constitutional carry states still issued permits. Hoping my state joins the growing list.
