While at the beach a few weeks ago I mentioned to Mom that Laura & Chris had been able to CCW while they were visiting. When I explained that they were able to carry in Delaware on a Utah Non-Resident permit she said "you have a Utah permit, so why can't you use it to carry in Delaware?."
I explained in layman's terms the idiotic complexities of reciprocity and residency requirements for CCW. Mom expressed disbelief that, having gone through the identical process Laura & Chris did they could CCW here and I couldn't, despite my being a Delaware resident.
As she put it,
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It makes no sense."
Yes mom. Is gun control. Is stupid. It's not supposed to make sense. It's simply supposed to make it as difficult as possible to exercise your rights.

Yep while living in Medford and Belmont Mass the Police Chiefs weren't keen on issuing carry permits. And of course Boston will issue carry permits at about the same rate as is done to New Jersey, or Maryland residents. (Unless you know somebody big, fat chance!)
Yet now that I live in a gun friendly town I carry in Medford and Belmont and Boston all the time.
Makes perfect sense, right?
The number of times my parents have said those exact words when I try to describe the firearm laws of our country probably could not be counted...
Just tell them the "shoelaces are machine guns" stories...
