Yes... one of the reasons why I would, if it was possible, move to United States. Getting the "right" to carry because I think I, damn it, already have that right, but unfortunately live in a country which is unlawfully restricting that. And where the situation has just gotten worse during my lifetime. I do love my country, or at least my nation, but things are not going well here. And sometimes that just makes me feel pretty disappointed with Finnish people in general. Not enough of us are even trying to fight.
Unfortunately I am not so rich I could pay for a permanent visa, and do not belong to any of the groups allowed in. Now I can accept the fact that I am not one of the really desirable types for a legal immigration, not educated enough, not successful etc, even if I would, if I could have moved there, have done my best to become a useful AMERICAN citizen to the best of my ability. And I would have done it only I if could have done it legally, according to your laws.
But being a white and not filthy rich or at least well off European no chance. Sometimes I have joked, with some people I know there, that I should have learned Spanish and flown to Mexico for a holiday, and then crossed over claiming refugee status while pretending to be from some place further south and I might even be a citizen now if I had done that during the 80s or early 90s. Except unfortunately I don't even tan well... okay, hair dye, fake tan and so on and it might have worked. :D
