I’ve had a hunting/target practice permit for 15 years. I got the paperwork for the unrestricted license in the mail Monday. Took it downtown today, got the new permit! Took a long time though, sent it in 4/15/07. Now before a race, I can shoot my competitions tires out & win!!:shoot: ---

What benefits do you get with an unrestricted license or is it just to carry a concealed weapon? ---

Still can’t carry it at schools, fed buildings, court. But thats about it . I used to carry it once in a while even though I shouldnt have, going out snowmobiling, being in the middle of the forest up in OldForge @ 2:30 am, I figure if I gotta use it, being arrested is better than being dead. ---

My old man has a nice collection of handguns, the Colt .45 he’s got is by far the most accurate and most fun to shoot out of the lot. He’s got a few 9mm’s, snub nose nickle plated .38 six shooter and a small .22. All of the above I do not know the brands of. ---

I used to have a bad temper when I was young, but marrage and having a kid calms you down. I would never pull it out unless my or my friends / familys life was in danger. Scary to even thing how bad it would have to be to shoot someone. ---

an Unrestricted allows you to shoot sideways, gangsta style. Target/hunting means you have to hold it vertically. ---

Don’t take it out of the state… And don’t take it to canada.
