How do police in Britain survive?
They have protection from Gun Control Laws that are not available in the US.
Can stricter gun laws decrease gun deathes?
Best answer is "MAYBE." There are many "gun free zones" in which law-abiding citizens won't carry a firearm, but a criminal would. In fact, criminals can take advantage of "gun free zones" because they know that their potential victims are likely to be unarmed. Now, if the government can ensure that guns are kept out of the hands of criminals, then stricter gun laws SHOULD help prevent gun-related fatalities. That's the tough part, criminals, by definition, don't obey laws.
In NC can the wife of a felon keep a gun if she has a concealed carry permit?
She still has the right to own a firearm, with or without the CCW. However, it's going to be her responsibility to ensure that her husband cannot access it in any way.
Another View: NO! Not unless she wants to be the instrument of him being sent to prison.
While the CCW-possessing wife may have every right to CARRY a firearm, because of the felon status of her husband, she CANNOT keep or store the weapon ANYWHERE (residence, vehicle, etc) where he COULD conceivably have access to it. Additionally, she may not carry it on her person anytime she is accompanied by her husband.
Such a violation, for him, is known as CONCURRENT POSSESSION (e.g.: although he may not physically have it on his person, it is close enough for him to gain access to, or exercise control over, it).
That statement means that state laws and the regulation of firearms are the same in every state. That is not a true statement. Each state has its own laws and there are broad differences in state firearm laws. There are also federal firearm laws.
May you drive through Maryland with a gun permit to carry from Florida?
Try this link: http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/maryland.pdf
but the general answer is no, Maryland does not recognize any othe states' permits. If you travel through Maryland, you must abide by Maryland's "peacable journey" regulations, which are listed at the link I provided above.
There is no "best" or "most accurate" gun. It depends on you, your preferences, and other factors.
I am not sure such a thing as a "long range" revolver exists. There are pistols with longer barrels, and those tend to be more accurate at longer distances. Some folks even put scopes on them for longer distances.
You might try the Ruger 44 models and some of the 45 calibers in Ruger and Colt.
Wood handled revolvers can be any revolver you want it to be. Just buy the gun and buy some wood grips, unscrew one or two screws in the handle, and pop em in.
I wouldn't worry about being Dirty Harry until you develop basic proficiency with handguns, though. Google for a local shooters group (they are EVERYWHERE) and ask around. Gunners are the nicest, most helpful, and knowledgeable group of people you will find. Far from being the ignorant buffoons, trigger happy freaks, and paranoid loons you might expect, most gun owners are responsible, professional, safety conscious, and some of the nicest people you will find. They will be eager to help you find, test, and learn to shoot a handgun, as well as how to use it responsibly to protect yourself and your family.
Can you go to a gun range without gun permit?

Why do State gun laws supersede the US Constitution?
At one time many many Americans owned firearms. Even those who committed a crime and went to prison then released would have their firearms return. Those days you did your time and were released. They did not differentiate from felony or misdemeanor. It was a simpler time when "We The People" were not burdened by an ever growing oppressive government/police state which it has become today.
This answer is surrounded in the mist's of judicial purview and state legislative acts of most states. Lawyers and judges will deny a felon has a right to even possess a firearm and will state many state or commonwealth codes to defend it. "They will even try to do it with treaties as president Obama would like to sign with Mexico. Trust me keep up with current events." But the 2nd Amendment trumps all those little laws they slip in time from time to take away peoples rights.
Is that Legal to make such laws? No it is not! It doesn't require a law degree to know your rights! It subverts the Supreme Law of the Land but you better have millions of dollars to fight it in the US Supreme Court.
When the states ratified the US Constitution they in agreement must also obey the US Constitution as written. As Written and intent. Not what we so liberally interpret 200 years later. They made a pact with the Federal Government that will follow these rules as long as the federal Government didnt try to imposes its Will (Like it is today and for the last 100 years).
The US Constitution has an Amendment called the 2nd Amendment and it states firmly the following
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
1) The public militia is not the Nationl Guard. The national guard came into being in 1903 with the Militia Act of 1903. Established under Title 10 and Title 32 of the U.S. Code
(b) The classes of the militia are-
and
The People. and it says "Right" not privlege, thus it is immune. An immunity clause for you lawyers.
While many federal and states argue over this important amendment it does not stop a person from lawfully owning a firearm. It never ever stipulated this. It does give an idea on who cannot have a firearm and when.
A person cannot own or possess a firearm under the following conditions in the USA.
1) Imprisoned: for an offense, the offender cannot have access to a firearm.
2) Slavery: When the individual is enslaved they may also not have to access to a firearm.
3) Involuntary Servitude: Which is number 1 just above. AKA prison.
Thirteenth Amendment states the following.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The US Constitution supersedes all states Constitutions accept on the grounds of the 10th Amendment.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The 14th Amendment guarantees a US Citizen this.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"Your Rights are not privileges they are Immunities. But the lawyers will say otherwise because it is profitable for them."
While you may will find many liberal minded individuals disagree with my explination, it is quite sound. It is Constitutional Law and not Case Law. It is Federal Law thus not Sttate or Common Law. You will also find that several state Constitutions also send a simliar message.
All US Citizens are entitled to own and possess a firearm. A state cannot infringe on the Amendment as defined by our founding fathers. Or for some who read this -their framers- but you will see consistent attacks on this RIGHT. It is also possible to repeal the 2nd Amendment and to change it. But this of course will cause 60 million firearm owners to dissolved the United States.
I'msorry I was long in this because I am one of those who believes all American Citzens have the right to carry, own, and bear arms regardless of criminal convictions. I believe millions of others believe as I do what i just posted for you.
The Answer to your question is thus: They Can't and the ones that do are Unconstitutional by the definition of the 2nd Amendment. No Lawyer needed for you to know your rights.
Read the Constitution and your State Constitution and be wary of the recent changes in most State Constitutions as they are revising them all the time. Educate yourself against the Tyrants.
What kind of criminal charges can't you have to get a gun permit?
It depends on where you are and what the local requirements are. For instance, in the U.S. if you are a felon or if you have a conviction for misdemeanor domestic violence, you cannot have a gun unless you have had your rights restored. Then, on top of that, each state sets its own rules for permits.
How do you obtain concealed carry permit with a record?
it depends what kind of record it is. If its just something very minor, like a speeding ticket, or something like that, just go to your local sheriff's office and you should be alright.
If its something major then there is no way to get one. like drugs, assault in the first degree, domestic violence,
Is a gun under your seat of a car a felony in Tennessee?

How do you import a firearm from Mexico to the US?
Many times, the answer to these types of questions is "it depends". The reason for this answer is that in general there are always exceptions to rules, even federal rules.
U.S. law provides for the importation of firearms. The ATF has promulgated regulations under the Arms Export Control Act, The Gun Control Act, and the National Firearms Act regarding importations.
In general, a non-licensee must secure the services of a Federal Firearms Licensee in order to import a firearm form Mexico or any other country from which firearms can be lawfully imported.
The ATF Form 6 must be filled out and submitted in accordance with the instructions on the form. Once the form is approved, the firearm may be imported. Be prepared to provide extensive information about the firearm, or the ATF will disapprove the request.
Once the ATF Form 6 is approved, you should contact US Customs and ensure that you understand what their requirements are. What happens often is that firearms will get held up by customs because a required document is missing, etc. You will have to pay for storage of that firearm until the issue is resolved.
Contact the Treasury Department TTB (Tax and Trade Bureau) regarding possible excise tax requirements.
Can you drive through Canada on your way to Alaska with an Oregon carry permit?
Canada enforces very strict gun control laws on US citizens who wish to enter, whether they intend to remain in Canada or are simply passing through to Alaska. There are different authorisation forms for different firearms, which can be presented to a Canadian customs officer. Some firearms are 100% prohibited and cannot gain authorisation, and these are typically the concealable kind with smaller barrels.
It is a better idea to have the firearms crated and shipped to Alaska beforehand.
