On another note, related to firearms acquisition, I swear to God that Goody-Two-Shoes-Brain is real cause if I say straw purchase, half of everyone would think it involved literal straw or theyd reflexively spit over thats what dishonorable people do as a defining facet of their character and beliefs...and sure, a random ass CZ for 400 from someone known as 'Big Chet' requires you knowing Big Chet and having 400 in hand, but if youre earnest about getting one, then goddamnit, you cant seriously be hemming and hawwing over legal purchase for retroactive ass covering in a life or death situation, let alone legal cladding for defensive use. Use it and lose it if the heats too hot
Im not saying that you break every law because you broke a couple (thats sloppy and cavalier), im just saying there is an absurdity of self made hurdles sometimes, like goddamn turn whatever remainders of the cop or civil society in your mind into mulch.
