Housewives and older people getting handgun permits

Positive read... I liked the part where he states that it is not the licensed people that give him problems.

I agree. It was a good article.

My mother (73 years old) has carried a gun for years but never had a LTCH until recently. She said that she wanted to be legal just in case. I'd say there are at least a few more out there like her.

I remember when I went to the local PD to apply and every single officer who found out I was there to apply for my LTCH said "That's great, we need more people like you carrying guns!"

Tell a Senior you might take away one of their rights and they will likely start exercising those rights. Our older generation should be respected for their knowledge and experience. They deserve nothing less.

My wife said, who are they calling older?

My mother (also 73 years old) just recently applied for her LTCH. She'll soon be a pistol-packing great-grandmother.

A real Granny Oakley.

Good stuff here. I can't talk my wife into it, but my daughter just turned 18 and she is getting one

Hmmmm.....I just may qualify for the 'older' people getting handgun permits...I will be 69 in April.
I have wanted to get a permit for years but on the day of the Sandy Hook shootings I finally knew it was time...got it going online that night. Still waiting on the LTCH permit.
I have bought 2 handguns since then and looking for a rifle now.

I am not so sure this is a positive article. The reporters in the first sentence below basically are saying that folks applying for their LTCH are paranoid. The second sentence lays out Obama's "common sense" gun control wish list. He is obviously smarter than all these paranoid Hoosiers. Obama's statements have then scared all these irrational folks to want to arm themselves before his evil scheme becomes law in the third paragraph.

The article then goes on to talk statistics, supporting the fact that we Hoosiers are irrational, including mom and grandma.

Either I am completely jaded when it comes to the media, very possible, I am paranoid, or I am right. Personally I think it is the latter.


Whether its paranoia or people just wanting to be prepared, more and more people are arming themselves lately.

In the wake of the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama proposed a package that includes banning assault weapons, requiring background checks on all firearms purchases and limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.

Those proposed changes have resulted in an upsurge of people wanting to arm themselves, officials say.

My mother, father, brother and his son and my wife all have recently put in for theirs. Only my dad has actually gotten his so far.

That's just what I was wondering.

If the 83 year old woman in the article just applied for a lifetime license as long as they are taking to get she may not need it. Especially if she went paper insted of L1

People should be a little paranoid, with what is going on in our society today. Check out the article posted: On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs

I prefer my housewives....Desperate !

I have been slowly introducing the topic to my mother. She is 78. My father passed in June so living alone is a new experience for her. This past weekend there was a double homicide in our little town. She is listening more intently now. It's still a work in progress.

My take was that this was a relatively neutral/ positive article. it's nice to see that those more often targeted by criminals (women and elderly folks) are taking steps to protect themselves. I love reading stories about criminals that are unpleasantly surprised by a victim that they thought would be an easy target.

My grandparents are in the mid 80's both of them have theirs. I am glad they do without guns they would not have much of a chance of defending themselves against someone trying to do them harm.
