Chapter 13 Getting a Gun Permit
"Carter, it may be difficult for you to obtain a gun license. According to the "Gun Control Law", guns cannot be sold to children under the age of 21."

The next day, in the Douglas City Police Department, Sergeant Carlos, who was in charge of handling licenses, looked at Carter in embarrassment.In this small American city, the circle is actually very, very small.

Carlos knew Carter, and after hearing about Carter's summer travel plan, he also agreed that Carter needed a weapon for self-defense.But there are legal restrictions here, and as a law enforcer, Carlos can't blatantly think anything wrong.

"Uncle Carlos, the gun sales regulations in the Gun Control Act are for gun shops with a license to sell weapons. This has nothing to do with a gun license? I just want to apply for a gun license, not here buy a gun, don't you?"

Seeing Carlos' embarrassed look, Carter smiled.If I dared to come to the police station to apply for a gun license, I naturally checked the relevant situation in advance.It is now 79 years, so gun control in the United States is still carried out in accordance with the "Gun Control Act" promulgated in 1968.

Leaving aside the historical struggle of the US gun control law, just talking about the "Gun Control Act", which has only been promulgated for more than ten years, in Carter's view, there are many loopholes in it.For example, this law prohibits the purchase of guns across continents, and prohibits arms dealers from selling guns to eight categories of people, including the mentally ill, minors, and those with criminal records.However, please note that this is a regulation for weapons dealers!

And buying a gun at a gun store these days doesn't require any background checks. As long as you don't foolishly admit that you have a problem, the gun store won't check you at all.Besides, they don't have the right to check you now.In the future, when you buy a gun in any gun store in the United States, you will have to do a background check and fill out the 4473 form. This is a system that only existed after the passage of the "Brady Act" in 93.

The most important content of the "Brady Act" is to authorize the FBI to establish a nationwide instant criminal background check system and let this system enter every weapon store.When the gun buyer fills out the application form, that is, the 4473 form, the clerk will enter the information on the application form into the system, and then will get three results: "pass", "suspended pass" and "denied". to sell guns to gun buyers.

In other words, buying a gun now is really basically selling it for money, regardless of what you are.Not only now, but even in the future, these states in the southern United States are almost all the states that are most friendly to gun ownership.For example, in Georgia, in the future, gun owners will not even need to purchase a license or register a gun license, and they can carry it openly.It's just that there are two strict regulations that require a concealed gun license for handguns and that you can't point the gun at people.

If this is the case in the future, let alone this year.Sure enough, Carlos understood what Carter said.Yes, the "Gun Control Law" is only a regulation for arms dealers. What does it have to do with the issuance of licenses by your own police station?It is impossible to sell the guns of the own police station to Carter!Even if Carter didn't want to travel across continents, he didn't even need to test for a gun license, because Georgia doesn't check you at all, and it doesn't matter if you go out with a gun openly.

"Well, you're a smart kid. Come with me and fill out the application form. I suggest you apply for a concealed gun permit in one step. A pistol is often much more convenient than a rifle. You just need to accept a Eight hours of short training, the job in Douglas is generally in charge of our police department, of course, this requires a small tuition fee"

After making a decision in his heart, Carlos' attitude changed immediately.While leading Carter to fill out the application form, he began to sell with a smile.The police officer in charge of teaching can take half of the applicant's tuition fee!It's rare to have extra money delivered to your door, and Carlos doesn't want to miss it.

"No problem, I'll give you the money directly later, right? Also, Uncle Carlos, I wonder if I can bother you to teach me how to use a gun again? I will pay for the ammunition that is consumed."

"The training fee is not high, even the application fee is 40 US dollars, and 35 US dollars is the training fee. Ammunition is naturally no problem. After you fill out the form, we will go to the backyard. To tell you the truth, I have a lot of free time now! "

Seeing that Carter's business has changed from one transaction to multiple transactions.Carlos's enthusiasm went up to a higher level. Before Carter could finish filling out the application form, he hurried to the gun store of the police station and found a brand new m1911 pistol and five boxes.If it weren't for the police station's weapons belonging to the registered assets, Carlos would like to sell the guns together.
When Carlos came back, Carter had just finished filling out the form.Happily putting the fee paid by Carter into his pocket, Carlos spoke as he walked:

"Carter, didn't Chris teach you how to use a gun at home before?"

"No. Uncle Carlos, you know, I spent most of my time studying in school honestly. After Mrs. Mary came, I couldn't do my homework. How could I have time to learn how to use a gun?"

Carter shook his head and pushed open the back door of the police station.The backyard of the police station in Douglas City is a simple shooting range, but the police officers are basically scattered on the streets to patrol the streets. Except for some people who come to the police station to test their gun licenses, the police officers hardly use this shooting range. .

Even though the shooting range was empty and extremely quiet at the moment, Carter still became excited unconsciously as if he had walked into a lively disco.gun!real gun! !

In my previous life, I lived in a country where guns are strictly prohibited. I have played this game, except for movies and TV, the real guy has never even seen it.As for men, how can any man refuse the temptation of handjob?

"This gun is Colt's M1911. It fires .45 pistol bullets. It is very powerful and has a reliable structure, but the recoil is a bit heavy and the gun is a bit heavy. You can try to get used to it first. If not, we still have A Smith & Wesson revolver."

Carlos, who came back after pasting the target paper, looked at Carter's excited look, and couldn't help but think of his own kid.When he played with a gun for the first time, he also looked like Carter in a hurry
After taking the gun from Carlos, it sank immediately.The small pistol was much heavier than it looked, but this weight was acceptable to Carter.Lifting it up to aim at the target paper, Carter didn't feel too strenuous.

Although Carter's body looks a little thin, he doesn't usually have the habit of exercising.But the size is also a 16-year-old man, so he can't even lift a pistol.

But after Carlos taught how to disassemble the gun and how to maintain the gun, he really entered the live ammunition shooting session, and Carter realized that he was naive
When the gunpowder of the 45 pistol was ignited, Carter only felt a loud bang in his ear, followed by a sudden tremor in his hand.Even though Carter had already raised his attention and grasped the handle of the gun with all his strength, he still couldn't control the rapid shaking.

A second later, the gun barrel that had calmed down was still pointing steadily at the target paper ahead.What's embarrassing is that the target paper is intact, not to mention the bullet holes, and even the edges have not been scratched at all.
