26. The good news? It's not your decision to make.

We all want things we're not going to get.

I want to find a really well preserved series I or II Jaguar XKE in a dry, temperature controlled barn for under $2 grand from a farmer's widow. But I'm not holding my breath for it.

I'm pretty sure the insurance wouldn't fly with the majority of Americans either, Dem or GOP, based on the latest national surveys on whether they want more or less gun control.

Other than a few desperate politicians, claiming they; "want to introduce a bill requiring liability insurance for gun owners" .... if you just send them $3 or $5, that idea is going nowhere. Nor is any form of national registration that would be de facto established by that back door.

Unless of course you intend to take up that cause and start circulating petitions for the insurance requirement? Sooner or later some gun control fan might actually do something besides whine online about how lax the laws are. You could be the first!

In the meantime, my friends and I will just keep cranking out more new concealed carry people every few weeks here in Illinois.

That depends, how many millions of $$ and new members do you want the NRA to get? DonP Dec 2015 #13

Insurance would be regulated and no kickbacks to other organizations. TexasProgresive Dec 2015 #14

The NRA wouldn't need to stop your 'no kickbacks' idea, AARP and other affinity groups would friendly_iconoclast Dec 2015 #17

The NRA would have to be exempted as well as gun and ammo manufacturers TexasProgresive Dec 2015 #18
