Autism and gun ownership (Another one of PennSilverTaco's BS threads)

I've also heard mixed answers on whether or not someone on the autism spectrum like myself could obtain a CCW. A couple of my Aspie friends have gone shooting, but none of them have CCW permits; I went to the sheriff's office purely on a whim to see if my having autism would come up, but it didn't and I had my permit within the hour!

 

Excellent!!!! I always wished more people were into firearms. Shooting is lots of fun .You can't get a CCW permit in Canada.

 

Awesome!!!

 

Now you have to decide what you want to get, I'm guessing?

 

Was talked out of buying this one Taurus 9mm, but have my eye on either a Smith & Wesson M&P or any number of Glocks...

 

All nice pistols. If you had a place in your area where you could test fire them. That way you could see which one feels the best in your hand. I found that l like some more than others.

I personally would stay with 9mm. Advantages are capacity, stopping power and recoil is mild enough for quick reacquisition of the target for subsequent shots.

 

There is, but I haven't been there since September; Gonna wait until I get my vaccine...

 

Makes good sense. Think about inside the waistband holsters too. Quality pistols with quality comfortable holster will make a huge difference

 

Also, is it legal to bring a Canadian-market firearm into America, or vice versa?

 

The prices in Canada are higher than in the U S. So it wouldn't be worh it for someone in the U.S. to buy one from Cabada, and l don't know about the U.S. importation laws. There are restrictions on barrel lengths and magazine capacities.
The selection in the U S. Is much better.

Hunters with long guns can come up, but thats just for that purpose and permits are required.

Competition shooting as well. Just have to abide by the conditions on the government website. Ie declaring it, safe transport, filling out foms etc

 

And Pennsylvania is one of the easiest states in which to own a gun!

 

Then you live in the perfect state

 

I looked into bringing my firearms down here. But it was an absolute nightmare, so l didn't bother.

 

Do cops in Costa Rica have guns? I know that "normal" police in a lot of countries don't carry any kind of firearm...

 

New Jersey is probably the most difficult state in this country in which to own a gun...

 

Yes they do. They are all armed with a sidearm, and many seem to also carry an AR15 when needed.

 

Sounds like the perfect reason not to live there!!!!

 

Full-auto or semi-auto ARs?

 

That I'm not sure. But, l have a feeling that they are semi-auto.

 

Overcrowded, high taxes, overpriced real estate; Just watch the The Sopranos and Jersey Shore if you want to sum up the entire state in two TV shows! On top of that, they require two license plates while Pennsylvania only requires one!
