TW - Did you know that you can own a 155mm howitzer legally in the US? Same thing with flame throwers and machineguns. Tanks and armored vehicles are legal too. When was the last time one of these legal weapons used in a robbery or murder?

I personally own a Confederate 24pdr iron expedient mortar. It took no permits or background checks to purchase. It fires a 5.82 inch exploding ball with a range up to 1,700 yards. Though the carriage is being rebuilt, my oldest son and daughter fired it in the past.

Tom, we need to meet up. I could take you target shooting with some of my more exotic large weapons. I bet you would have a blast and it might change your mind. Plus we could go riding at night in an urban where there are lots of drug sales, muggings, and car jackings. That way you could see first hand some of the animals that roam at night and maybe understand why we carry concealed weapons.

Serious offer and maybe we could see things through each other's eyes

Could I carry a 155mm howitzer concealed in your state? Or is that open carry?

Must be nearly impossible to find a good comfortable rig for that.

With a concealed carry permit you should be able to haul it behind your deuce as long as you stay one masking terrain feature away.

Until I am allowed to carry a personal tactical nuclear weapon on my person without being hassled, the Second Amendment is a joke.

So why is nobody laughing? Some people need that, 155 mm howizters and assault rifles for personal protection. No joke.
