Re: Own House -> Own Gun

Like I mentioned before, the 4473 form is STUPID to ask for citizenship but not verifying anything. I am sure most illegals just put down US Citizen and get their guns in a heartbeat. However, as GC holder, you must put down your GC number (A number), show your GC and 90 days of utility bill.

On the CHL and Green Card, from my own experience, having a CHL saves a whole lot hassle, not only when buying firearms, but also when transporting them. When you have CHL - still need to show GC and 90 days of bill, most FFLs will not call in but there are a few who still do. Just keep that in mind.

Gun safety is no joke, especially when kids are around. However, I would worry more about swimming pools than guns. Below is a letter i wrote to ASK - some stupid anti-gun organization. The leading death of youngsters are traffic and swimming pool accidents, not gun accidents.

******************************************
Just out of my curiosity. Why ask other parents about guns? Why not ask them if they have swimming pool? According to CDC, and I quote: fatal drowning rate, per 100,000 people, for children less than 14 is 3.09% while gun related fatality is 0.61%

Your children are 5 times more likely to be drown in a swimming pool than being killed by a gun.

Are you guys missing the whole forest by looking at one leaf?
