People who are on the fence or anywhere close enough to the fence to see it should probably not get a firearm. I takes very little to carry one, but much more to commit to using it if necessary. Know thyself, right?

The most common argument to this is that you can't add a tax to a right. It would infringe and place an undue burden on those without the means to pay for it. It's sometimes called disparate impact.
Not starting an argument, just getting out in front of this one before an argument breaks out in a rational discussion. There is such insurance available and I have considered it myself.
did they say that on the video portion? i didn't see it in the text. im also surprised that from where she was shot, they went to emory hospital instead of piedmont hospital
You never know what goes through a person's mind in a situation like this. They may have been more familiar with Emery or knew someone there. The info about the other occupant is in the video.
thanks, i can't get sound on my work computer.
yeah, i was thinking there may be confusion on where to go, piedmont is a very large hospital/emergency room and was fairly close to where they were and the emory hospital is a smaller one about twice as far away. also, it is very difficult to get from the west side of piedmont park to emory quickly. knowing the area, it just struck me as odd.
Emory is where wealthier people would want to go, not me their miss diagnosis nearly cost me my Dad about 10 years ago. If I get shot I want to go to Grady, or as an ER doc I used to hang out with referred to it "The Atlanta Gun and Knife Club"
Good question, and I guess they aren't.
I had in mind a fund that could be used for medical expenses for people shot by accident, but the same type pool would be helpful if you've been shot intentionally.
Someone upstream said this would be a tax on a right and won't fly. I'm not certain about that, but if mandatory insurance on guns is forbidden, then, in my opinion, there ought to be a way for the gun manufacturers to stand this expense.
grady is supposedly one of the better er's in the country.
they updated the story again in the ajc. he claims he got scared at peachtree/pine (near the homeless shelter) and pulled the gun out, then fell asleep with it in his lap and they hit a bump.
nothing was reported until they showed up at the hospital.
In front of Chicken and Waffles? Nothing gonna happen there either. I'd lay odds that Tex was banging his wife's friend at this point, something else going here if not
I just turned 67 y/o and received my training in the US Army, including 2 yrs in combat in Vietnam. I've carried a weapon for 40+ years since.
Who would you suggest train me? Who is qualified enough to determine whether I should be permitted to carry a weapon?
Evidently you're fine with the government stealing your rights and then selling them back to you in the way of "permits".

How does everyone feel about a permit to vote? A permit to freely speak in public? A permit to remain silent? To me, a gun permit is on equal footing. Having certain liberties removed as a course of due process is different.
