(GD) what state is the ...

[Black Wind, Fire & Steel]

... most "gun friendly", from east coast to west coast, north to south.

Forget "Ice-Cube" land (Alaska), and "Sun-Tan" land (Tahiti)

none of them!

not real sure about which would be the best of the worst though, would venture to guess it would be in the south east.

Arkansas is pretty "gun-friendly" according to the NRA thing I got. It seems that almost all of the people that were running for office were on the A list...except for one D and one F. The drawbacks are the education system is in shambles thanks to Hitlery and the economy is at the very least backwards, but they don't mind if you have a gun. Heck, they still let school out the first day of deer hunting season...lol.

Probably Vermont, with no permit needed for handguns, although it's full of commie-libs.

I have heard that Massachusettes, New York, and California aren't to bad. :rolleyes:

Really, I live in Florida. If you stay out of the major cities, it is all good.

Well I figured we rated below Vermont because we have to get a license to carry concealed. But sure am glad to see we rate right up next to them for a gun friendly state.

No waiting period to buy a rifle or handgun (like some states). No having to get a permit to own a handgun (like some states), and best of all if you've got a CCW no NICS check, just go in fill out the paperwork and go home right then and there with your weapon.

Plus private sales even at gun shows is allowed - picked up quite a few rifles that way (both at gun shows and from others). Love my state in that regards (especially the full auto part and silencers - yep we can have those as well if we've got the paperwork and paid the tax).

All in all Idaho is a good state (except for a few people out of California trying to ruin it).

[mosby's men]

louisiana should be # one,
its a class III state,
we have ccw that the governor pushed through ,
we have shoot the burglar law and shoot the car jacker law .
we have tons of "public hunting" lands
we have state run shooting ranges
our local sherrif not only provides a range for the public to use , but he supplies the targets and the instructors if you want to shoot better. plus he let us hold matches on the range. besides great duck and goose and dove hunting , we got great fishing. the deer hunting and hog hunting is pretty good also..

[TheMrMitch]

Aw, shucks. All I have to say is: "Woo Hoo! Go Kentucky! http://www.assaultweb.net/forums/images/smilies/graemlins/009.gif

[Tikka]

Figured Vermont would be 1st just on the strength of it's CCW law or no law rather.

I'm right pleased to see Georgia in the top ten, even if it has to be #10 exact. http://www.assaultweb.net/forums/images/smilies/graemlins/015.gif

}{ell i needed advice and all you guy did is get me more confused it's all so tempting :eek:

AAAARRRGGHHHHhhhhh.... I'M LOST NOW (again)

Thank you guys (and LADIES "i never forget the good ladies :cool: ) thank you all. http://www.assaultweb.net/forums/images/smilies/graemlins/009.gif

Mosbysmen has it right although he left out one area. In Louisiana your vehicle is considered part of your domicile (house) and you can protect it the same way as your house i.e. carry locked and loaded in the car/truck.

Indiana isn't bad.

Shall issue CCW

Conealed or open

Very few restriced places besiedes federal buildings, court rooms, the usual. No 51% law, carry into a bar if you feel like it.

Class 3

Seems to be a good number of ranges and gun stores around.

I wonder why Indiana didn't make it into the top 10 in the Boston Gun Bilbe?

[O LINE]

Wow, Vermont is number one. I would of never guessed.
