This is so infuriating and I’m currently waiting for my gun license, which got approved after many months, to be mailed to me. The process of applying for a license is so rigid (pay alot for an in-person class and the gun courses/fees, as well as background checks and references).
We also bought two rifles last year for hunting big game animals and my husband has a shotgun for self-defense. There was an instance when some drunk Natives knocked on his tiny house in the middle of the night and in those instances, you’d wished you were armed with the police being so far. Thankfully, nothing bad happened.
