Do you carry while at home?

DMF - Disney Mercenary Force.


And that's not my expectation - my expectation would be if a shooting event happens Disney would have law enforcement handle the response. I don't think Disney has paid employees to use deadly force. I'd be shocked if Anaheim police doesn't have officers assigned to the property 24/7.

 

Disney security-

No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston

100% they do.
Disneyland attracts up to 50,000 daily visitors. You can bet with certainty that they taking measures to keep the park seen as family friendly and safe including staffed police and well trained park admittance employees.

 

At what point does all this Disney talk have them contact the mods and ask the thread to be shut down? If Toyota can do it, we know Disney has the ability to as well.

 

I can tell you that 99.9% of every person I come across, has ZERO idea I'm possessing. My wife knows, my shooting buddy knows, but that's about it.

What they don't know cannot possibly threaten, harm, or piss anyone off, no ?

 

Great point..
It's the happiest place on earth..

Why on earth would you want to carry there

It's just a couple of clicks.

ABSOLUTELY ! Having a bunch of okee dokees toting firearms is my idea of "I don't want to be around you, such as in public indoor firing ranges, which I despise. I cannot tell you how many times some moron, teaching some moron, has their firearm swung around and pointed at me, my wife, my friend, vs down range.

All firearm carriers should have proper training, including carrying, storage, local and regional laws. Unfortunately, there are states that just hand out carry permits like candy, and I simply don't feel comfortable around these "knuckleheads".

 

Hand out permits?
You don't even need one in Texas to carry..
Although I've had one since 1994 and do renewals as needed..

I agree that all firearm owners should have some basic training on everything you stated.
But who is going to be the judge of what exactly that education includes and who teaches it?

 

tangled web we weave..... yes. I live (against my will) in a state in which if I said what I wanted to say, someone here might be all butthurt, and call a mod on me, so I'll let your imagination run wild.

29 states and counting are constitutional carry, and damn, if I didn't wish I was there, in any of them, right freaking now.

 

That is hilarious.

 

How do you explain that behavior to your kids?
Why are other families fighting each other at Disneyland?

 

It's like they thought they were on a Jerry Springer episode. But Steve never showed up to help quell the storm... I'm not sure where to begin explaining this one to little ones. But I'm sure it would involve how that is not behavior you have to accept just because they are your family.

 

I can offer insight into this.
I'll start by mentioning i'm Canadian and am not suggesting Americans follow our gun philosophy or anything like that but here there is no capacity here for concealed carry unless you're law enforcement.
For the rest of us to legally obtain a handgun or "restricted firearm" means police history check, an application process that is vetted similarly to a passport application and a separate application process to certify for ammunition purchase of any firearm restricted or otherwise.
This is a government run program that requires certification to instruct along with the content for them to convey. Overall it largely filters out the future red flags for legal ownership.

 

My solution to this....
You use a magnetic keycard to open it, so it's secure from kiddos

 

& on the note of local rules & customs...my lovely town requires head of household to be armed. It's been a town law since '82.
We have no police & you must defend yourself in a bad situation.
Everyone is armed
There is virtually no crime btw

 

I've got one of those in my office, which is right by the front door

 

I appreciate your input, but you lost me at 'a permit to purchase ammunition' and 'red flag'...
The thought of needing a government permit just to buy anything firearm-related is ridiculous, IMHO.

It used to be in Texas you couldn't carry without a permit.
Getting a permit consisted of an 8-hour class with range time and state background check.
I had no problem with that, but now with 'constitutional carry' any idiot can carry that is ALLEDGEDLY legal to do so..

Some may say that makes me a hypocrite, saying you need a permit to carry and not to purchase.
To many, that is the same thing; to me it is not.
I'd much rather anyone carrying a firearm in public have SOME kind of training and knowledge of what they are getting into.
To know the legal ramifications and parameters of self-defense, imminent bodily harm, and what can happen even in a justified shooting situation.
But that's just my worthless opinion..

 

Better stay out of the green areas.

 

see what you're missing is i'm not trying to "get you" lol. In all honestly I was just letting one fella that asked what the road to certification was and how teaching practices take place and how the laws work here with firearms. nothing more, nothing less

 

Perhaps you should have quoted the other 'fella' and not me, eh...

 

my bad, it was you that asked about what certification might look like so i answered how it works up here.

 

Cant. I own houses in those areas. Maybe next lifetime

 

Interesting decision given your stated feelings on gun carrying citizens.

 

No...but I do know some swampy areas that are full of gators.
We have a fishing lease on the place as a matter of fact.
I've mentioned it here.

 

I did?
Where exactly did I ask what a Canadian carry permit certification might look like?

Perhaps you are confused by this post;

That was a joking response to this post, and that quote reads STATES, not provinces or territories.

I hope you understand now..
O Canada.....

 

Well, the internet wins again, as misunderstanding takes hold of the convo.

You clearly misunderstand my point. I said I do not feel comfortable around.... And youre misconstruing it as "firearms carrying citizens".

No. Thats not what I said, nor what I meant.

I'm around folks all the time who use firearms properly, who participate in training, who practice conceal carry, and do not risk the lives of those around them being careless, irresponsible, or a danger to others(aka / okee dokies) .

My buddy in Tenn has a brother in law who moved there from a firearm unfriendly state. He carries. He has never trained, is careless, cocky, and brandishes his firearm to friends and family. He watches movies where the guy turns his wrist back of the hand facing the sky, thinking he's cool. He is someone who no one wants to hang with for fear of an accidental discharge.

I train with retired LEO's, and those who love, respect, and understand the responsibilities of owning, and carrying a firearm.

 

exactly

 

This is a terrible situation that happened. People declared insane going to non prison and getting out is an escape imo. I finished a book recently, “fiction” but easily reality, where a serial killer was dual personality. A very good actor who fooled the shrinks, except one. He was a serial killer, that was finally caught “so he could get recognition” of his recent crimes. He escaped once after convincing a guard to help him escape. Very disturbing world we live in.
About 30 years ago we lived in a “nice” neighborhood. The neighbors’ kid got involved with some drug related thing, someone was killed and the house was torched. We were at work at the time, so I pulled up to my street with cops and fire department presence. Hard to forget those moments.

 

I don't "carry" in my house but I do have a weapon within arm's reach generally all the time. Being retired LE I've seen enough to know that there's an element out there that doesn't care about anything but their own needs, be it drug money, items to steal and fence...it just happens all the time and frequently in very nice, even exclusive neighborhoods. I saw recently where a crew of illegals were hitting professional athletes' homes. The fools couldn't resist social media and took pics with the stolen goods, and I believe they were caught, processed and deported.

Carrying a weapon is a huge responsibility, I honestly would prefer not to carry at all, but I run into some old clients pretty often and even though I've generally only had a few contacts that could've gone either way, I just don't want any conflict anymore. My neighborhood is nice, I have some great neighbors and one ex-con who I've dealt with for years, he's currently doing 15 years now in NKSP for ADW/GBI (assault w/deadly weapon not F/A, with great bodily injury). He's been locked up since 2023 and has already had a parole hearing....it was denied thank God.
I believe that it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Just my .02

 

No matter how it is said or how many times it is said some will never get it or understand it!
