Blasted Cap Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Dang it were tied for 39th with 4 points. I was hoping it would be lower. Quote
Oklahomabound Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 God bless Oklahoma; Indian Territory - Creek Nation!!! ...and there's a lot of bias and stupidity in the scoring, I looked at Oklahoma's and who ever did the scoring doesn't know what is required here... ...I hold no stock in this report. just mho.

Three Foot Johnson Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Montana scored 2 and didn't even make the top ten... WTH?? Quote
KingSnake Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Arizona scored a BIG FAT ZERO. Gotta luv living here. Quote
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Michigan is pretty good. So..... GG Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 I don't understand why Ohio is not in the top ten! We have virtually no restrictions at all except for no more than a 30 round mag. You can own 50 round drum mags but you can't shoot 'em!!! Also this was done before the "new" carry laws have been modified and restaurant and bar carry too! Ohio is the Wild Midwest! Rye Quote
Dakota Rebel, SASS# 58412 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 North Dakota scored a 2 (colleges are not forced to allow guns on campus). The largest city (Fargo) doesn't allow open carry in the city except by uniformed police and security guards. If you can legally own a firearm, you can get a concealed carry permit (shall issue).

wes Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I think if it were not for the Las Vegas country handgun registration scheme, Nevada would score better. Utah is great. We might move there. Quote
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Double God bless Texas -- they are actively recruiting gun and ammunition manufacturers. Can't wait to get there. Quote
Badlands Beady Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 There’s even an iPhone and Android app called “legal heat” that you can download on your phone to carry every state’s concealed carry laws with you. Am I the only one that noticed this in the article? I installed it, and the first thing it did for each state I looked at was update itself. Seems pretty complete. Quote

Calamity Kris Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 We're dark green. Oh well. No surprise there. I was born here. It's a great place to live. Too bad I will have to move elsewhere to be able to exercise my constitutional rights. Quote
Harvey Mushman Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Yep Kris, Years of libs movin' in and votin' more and more askew. We now have six years of consecutive population decline, including the increase of illegal immigrants, (never had ONE till then) as businesses and real working folks leave under the increased tax and ludicrous regulatory burdens. CA was once the Aerospace Capital of the US (and World) - the last remaining major Aero company moved it's headquarters in 2011 (Northrop Grumman). 12% of the US population, 37% of the welfare cases (CA rejected the successful Welfare Reform of the 90s). I'll stop before BH gives me a farewell boot. I have lived in ten different states (including CA in the '60s) and WAS planning on retiring in CA. Plans are changing. Harvey Quote
Eamon Chute Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Whoooo-hoooo!!!!...California, 81. That's the best score! Higher than all y'all. What's Better than an 81? I wish I got 81's on tests when I went to high school! Whatcha' mean it's a reverse order score? Are you telling me it's like golf or somerthing where the LOWEST score is best? Well that's not fair.

Maurice Mo Lassess, SASS #65309L Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 62 for New York, makes us 4th place. Wonder, though, if that takes into account the new gun regs. May be looking for a home somewhere else. Quote
Smokey Shayne Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Well we got a 2 here. Thats no surprise though, Louisiana always scores low on everything..... Quote

I'd really like to be able to when visiting, but I don't want a long, state paid vacation there. OHIO does have open carry, the problem is that our LEO especially in the urban areas are not up to snuff on the law! Ohio has had open carry for a hundred years! We're also a SHALL issue ccw state. I agree that Cleveland ain't Tucson but then again Tucson doesn't have a PRO- football, basketball and baseball teams and they don't have the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame either. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Tucson but one can make the statement that TUCSON ain't Cleveland! Oh yea did I mention that Cleveland is on the Great Lakes which is the biggest freshwater source in the country? Did ya know that Arizona wants us to ship 'em fresh water???? Hmmmm..........water wars in the future?? :Rye Edited February 26, 2013 by Rye Miles #13621 Quote
Badlands Beady Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Oh yea did I mention that Cleveland is on the Great Lakes... It's on Lake Erie, and both Detroit and Toledo are upstream. Think about it. Quote
Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Georgia scored a farily respectable 8. Can't complain too much there. Edited February 26, 2013 by Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Quote

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Water Quality. FYI, Cleveland's water quality is one of the best in the country! Look it up if ya don't believe me. We do have "filtration" plants here and what does Detroit and Toledo have to do with our water quality??? Have you ever been to Cleveland?? Some of the surrounding areas, our suburbs, are beautiful and the water is clean, clean, clean!! But this post is about gun laws and ours here in Ohio are the equal to any of the "best" states.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Also Mizsippi. Looks like Magpul will have plenty of options. http://m.wlox.com/autojuice?targetUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.wlox.com%2fstory%2f21310106%2fspeaker-of-the-house-courts-gun-manufacturers Magpul Industries Corp. We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents' ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them. Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue. Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well. Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement. Quote
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Glad we finally moved back to Utah. First time I was happy to score a ZERO. Quote
