Gun taken at Cabelas in Kearney

<< < (7/7)

DaveB:
The place to complain about your rights being violated is any government property. Your rights have been taken away if you try to carry a legal gun into a government building.

Was at cabelas today,  They have no signs on the door, and now there is a big sign in the entrance where the greeters stand, saying you mustbcheck in firearms you bring in for repair, exchange or service.

I ccw in there.  However that could stop as they might ban it.  I was at the counter and some smart guy decides to start showing off HIS gun.  MORON.

IMO, places that sell firearms are more at risk for an incident because of all the gun nuttery that goes on when some people get together.

Also, unfortunately, some people use firearms, and ccw, to boost self esteem, which leads to them wanting to show people they carry.  This type of stuff needs to be adressed in all the classes.

skydve76...

You are right on.

Here's an excerpt from my CHP Course materials:

Resist Temptation to:
   -Show Your Handgun to Others
   -Tell Others that You are Carrying a Firearm

and some more:

>Take More Handgun & Safety Courses:
   -Legal Aspects of Lethal Force/ Chris Zeeb
   -Advanced Tactical Pistol/ Shawn Whittington

It is a Concealed Handgun Permit.

If I taugh a class, here is some points I would make, in more words than this but here are terse points:
-Firearm knowledge, is trivial
-Shooting firearms, is trivial
ANYBODY, with not much effort, can learn how to take a gun a part.  They can memorize different pistol types.  AND they can learn to be very accurate, without much effort.  Firearms are designed to be easy to use, and easy to learn, and easy to shoot.

You are nobody special because you have a gun, and the trivial knowledge you have of it.  If you are a CCWr, you are someone responsible however.

I'd like to point out that from cases I have been reading, when a person comes off as some type of "firearm expert" they tend to get eaten alive by the prosecution, becuase its easy to make it look like you used excessive force.

Be competent, and just rember nothing about firearms is rocket science, except maybe making them, which no one does except a few.
