I think the class C and class D thing is an artifact of the computer system that handles the licensing.

“True, the criminals won’t obey it, so why should you?”

Because the Mayors have a point in their message on “Illegal Guns”. They aren’t against all guns….just FOR laws making all guns illegal, and being against THOSE guns.

If I enter a PO with my heater, I suddenly become that criminal that doesn’t obey the law.

We could get even more meta if we wanted to!

Post office can ban guns on premises if they like (since they’re no longer exactly fed.gov) – I object to them making a federal case out of it; however.

Okay, bad example. Say, guns-in-”bars” or school zones.

Getting rid of the post office ban takes federal action. The states have nothing to do with it.

Especially since there is NO added security, nor a means of enforcement. I disarm ONLY because the law says I should

I have no idea which way that’d go. If the government needs to demonstrate that a place is especially “sensitive”, it’s hard to see how PO restrictions could stand. But if we have to prove the ban is burdensome… It’s one of those things we’ll shake out of Heller in time.

It’s not unthinkable that we could get quicker results with a guns-in-parks style bill.

God I hope we can do something about post-offices! I hate having to go to all sorts of extra steps just so I can buy a book of Forever stamps, or mail a package.

Especially since there is NO added security, nor a means of enforcement. I disarm ONLY because the law says I should…like that will stop somebody with intent to “Go Postal” (they have that term for a reason)

It’s a matter of perspective. If you live in Texas and are fighting for open carry or, say de-forbidding post offices, I can see how Heller’s language about “long-standing prohibitions” and “sensitive places” might make it seem useless to you, especially if you’ve long since written off people from NJ, MA, DE, and IL as deserving what they get from their elected officials.

The combination of Heller and McDonald is freakin _tectonic_ for those of us behind enemy lines, and we know that’s very good news for everybody in the long run. But with a good-sized dollop of insularity, seeing Heller as useless from a Wyoming vantage is understandable.

The Pepper Spray Permit is the Class D FID.

I’m not sure if the terms are 100% interchangeable or if there is just “FID” and “LTC” and grades of each.

A- All Legal Guns
B- Low Capacity pistols and Long Guns
C- Low Cap Long guns only
D- Chemical deterrents.

First two are called “LTC” the 2nd two are called “FID”

I’ll give you reason number 4 on your list of good things that have come out post heller…

62% of the vote for Governor – GOP Primary went to pro gun canidates……
