'Council locked, loaded' - Rochelle Riley

[Johnnny5]

I was a victim of a violant crime when I was about twenty. I debated with myself for maybe ten years about whether to carry a gun. My decision was no gun.

I grew up in a family that hunted and am no stranger to weapons. In fact I am a damn fine marksman.

I worried that I would use a concealed weapon given the chance. My purse isn't worth a person's life and my soul. Even if that person is pure scum.

My sons have taken gun safety training and both own guns. Now that I think of it their guns are registered to us. Since they are now grown I must remember to ask them to transfer registration.

It is sad to hear that our elected officials want to carry concealed weapons. I support the right to bear arms but without extensive training in the appropriate use, its like giving candy to babies

Unless you are talking about handguns [[or live outside of Michigan) your firearms are not registered to anyone. There is only a record of the original buyer or if a sales transaction is handled by a licensed dealer. In you do live in Michigan, and you are talking about handguns, make sure to follow the correct procedures to transfer ownership [[Purchase permit or CPL with sales record).
