This morning I deposited just under $1K in cash at my local bank, currency derived as a salary rather than business income. Had it been the latter, I'm guaranteed a handgun permit based on the state's ridiculous obsession with business transactions. This angers me to no end. It's wrong...everyone knows it...yet, here we are. Twice the State has denied me the right to protect myself and family. First, the 365 fiasco in which Judge Legg spelled out a person's right in the clearest possible language, only to be overturned by CA4 in its rush to ignore the obvious. Then last month, the Board denied my application based on well-documented international threats against people associated with national defense. My wife tells me I'm too old to start a business; yet with all the hoopla surrounding "medical" marijuana, it does appear that one could get a permit for growing a substance still considered illegal at the federal level. Ain't the Free State great!
