    Just FYI

    I am a student who attends a university in Los Angeles. Every time I mention I am a gun owner I get asked if I have a license for my guns.

    Of course, I take the time to educate these people, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been asked the question more and more frequently.

    Heh... what about when someone finds out you have a rifle and they ask, which they always do to me... So what do you hunt?

      I wouldn't say anything about owning guns to anyone at a University.

        i mentioned the university just as a general background...I do not talk about guns at my university unless it is in some theoretical sense such as defending the second amendment or something of that nature

          Paper. Sometimes clay targets or cans.

                Oh, it's not all that bad...i've mentioned them to the president of the UC system, even, with no adverse effects; we just need to stop being quite so afraid.

                Certainly it pays off to be smart about the whole thing and not go gallivanting around in realtree boxers telling everyone and their mother about the 1337 new Kel-Tec blahblah...

                But I think battered gun-owner syndrome is quite prevalent in this state. Hell, it's just as legitimate a right as any other, acting as if it is some sort of cultist back-room stigmatized thing will only help further the "where is your permit" type thinking.

                I think that if it comes up and you have to answer, just politely respond with facts. Upset their stereotyped view of how a gun owner ought to act. Act like it is no big deal because, ultimately, it isn't.
                This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

                  So TP, do you have a license for your firearms?

                      Along those lines; no one has ever asked if I'm in this country legally...
