I live in WV and went to the doctor yesterday. I asked the nurse and doctor if they have been instructed to ask if a patient has a gun in the house. They said no and that they haven’t heard anything about it. I also mentioned that Vets with PTSD may be asked to turn in their guns. The response from them was they wouldn’t want to be the ones to go get guns from any Vet.
Number 19, I have cured it already, I carry legally whenever I am out in church, school, library, store, and where ever else I am with my family. It takes the worry about being close.
I suggest o’bama and Rahm Emanuel to look to their own city and race before trying to attend to us gun owners, hunters and Patriots. Gang violence kills more than all other gun related shootings.
Is there going to be something done now about the guns that walked because of his adminestrations stupidity?
This list is a bunch of crap.
