Re: Handgun question.
I'm not a gun enthusiast, but I'm not anti-gun either. I am curious about a few things:
How do you go about getting a carry permit? Does it differ from state to state?
Do you folks with carry permits carry a gun around with you all the time, or is it usually just to carry a loaded one in the car?
If you have a loaded gun in the car and you get pulled over (say, for speeding), do you inform the officer?
Years ago a friend of mine showed me his home/car protection. It was a double barrel 410 pistol. He called it a "snake charmer". I got the distinct impression that it wasn't legal, but for home protection it made a lot of sense. Are these available and are they legal?
For home protection, which type of hand gun is safer: a revolver with a speed loader near by, or a semi-automatic with the clip out and nearby? Better asked, what is the safest way to keep a handgun nearby in the house, but also be as safe as possible with young or teenaged children?
