My concealed carry permit did have a full background check on me and it would not have been issued if there was anything questionable. The federal government, Homeland Security and the TSA should acknowledge that.Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-76393238281400290982010-11-24T08:57:29.274-05:002010-11-24T08:57:29.274-05:00Great Post Oldironsides.

My belief is the NRA has no place endorsing ANY candidates as this just plays into the political machine, which as you stated, is too large and powerful to merely "endorse" based on one belief. <br /><br />I'd also be interested to hear your take on the following idea, and perhaps blog on it for feedback to gain traction. The Gov't allows many senior officials to bypass airport security, claiming they have been subject to background checks, FBI clearance, etc. If this is so, then it seems more than reasonable that those of us who carry our conceal permits (having already been subject to background checks, etc) should be given a similiar treatment to those govt officials. If nothing else, we should at least be given a pass on the now famous "pat downs". Look forward to your thoughts.<br /><br />chris<br />bcre8of@gmail.comLive4Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351098420243146217noreply@blogger.com
