Be careful and do a bit of research.

Well that was years and years ago. And in the neighborhood I grow up in people did not call the cops on each other.. In so many years of living there and seeing people do a lot of illegal things like, adults beating kids that did not belong to them, open drunkenness, using drugs in the open public, I have had shot guns pulled on me for fighting, people pulled guns on me for no reason at all. I would shoot my guns in my yard everyday, and NO ONE called the cops. I even had a LEO see me with my shotgun in my hand shooting it in my yard, and he did not say a word to me. (he question my mom, but she played stupid and that was that) Where I was from people just did not call the cops, if they would have then 90% of the people there would be in jail. My mom even shot a guy that was evolved in a fight between my uncle and another guy he did not press charges. The police did notpress charges, and my mom was wrong for shooting him. But she did notgo to jail, or was she even questioned. I came home and saw the cops and the ambulance there. But they still remained friends, no hard feelings. So no I am not lucky I did not go to juvie for that, that was just something that did not happen where I was from. NO one called the cops because everyone was guilty of something.

I was younger at that time, he was in my house doing my brother harm, and I pulled the pistol that's that. I do not feel bad for doing it. I do not use my gun to scare people if that’s what you think. That was the last time I ever pulled a gun on anyone. I do not look for trouble, I do not even hang around people that are trouble. I don't brag that I carry a gun, I am a cool guy that carries, But if someone else came in my house and I feel they are there to really hurt my family. Think what you want to think about me, call me what you want to call me, but I will pull my gun again if I have to.
Just recently when I was in the US I had a guy try to start something with me, I voiced my dislike to him, and I just let it be even though I was so pissed, and I had my pistol on me at the time, but I did not pull it, and I did not try to scare him with it.

I am studying the laws, but thanks for the advise anyway. Anyway I left NC and that hood, and made something out of my life, that is the past. I just told a story of when I pulled the gun. Not saying it was right, but it is what I did. I am not a thug that uses a gun to scare people, and I don’t think I am HARD with a gun. I keep it for self defense, so don’t judge me form what happen many years ago, I was a kid then.

Oh and welcome to the site, good to have you here. sorry for the harsh reply, it just pisses me off, when people judge me from the past and they only know so little about me.

Wow, sounds like a rough place to grow up in, you're blessed to have made it. Laws in this country aren't typically based on relativity such as where you grew up, for a good reason. That said, thanks for the welcome, and good luck !

Yeah the people in that community are not the ideal citizens of society. Now most of them have criminal records, and have dead-end jobs or no job at all, and are in/out of jail. One of the best things I have ever done in my life was leave that place when I joined the Army. I am one of the few individuals that has escaped that lawless neighborhood. The LEO did not even patrol those streets, and no one called them at all, accept for the lady that owned the corner store would call the police when someone would burglarize her store..

Now lots in that neighborhood has changed because of the new developments in the area. (things like shooting a gun in the yard are things of the past.) I now hope the next generation behind me are doing better for themselves than my generation did growing up.

I am going to visit that place when I get to he States in July/Aug, and when the guys I grow up with see me OC and CC (NC accepts WA permits,) they are going to flip because they STILL don’t know any laws I am sure.
Sorry I was harsh, but at the time of the incident I felt it was the thing to do. And it bugs me when folks jump on me, but when other people have done things that they should not have done with a firearm, and people just shrug it off. Maybe it was the title that set the wrong tone on the story. But I did see how effective a gun was in bring order to chaos.

Well while I am talking about this, let me just tell this story, looking back at this it may have played a part in my interest for guns .. I have not told anyone about this EVER in my life. only me and my mom talk about this once every blue moon, maybe a total of twice in my life. this is the first time I ever brought this story out. Well when I was a little boy, 5-6 years old, a guy held a pistol to my mom's head, My brother and I was sitting on the chair together, in one loveseat, Our feet did not even reach the front of the seat. And he said if it were not for these two boys I would blow your head off waving it past us.

I was just looking at the whole thing not saying a word, not crying, I just thought to myself I hope he does not shoot us. then I also said to myself. NO one will ever do this to my mom again, I said I will get me a gun one day and this will never happen to us again. Then when I turned 18 I bought my first Mossberg 500 pistol Grip. ( not thinking on this incident, but just wanting to own my own gun) Maybe that was the point where I came into guns, looking down the business end of one as a child, and making up my mind to protect my mom, and to never let someone do that to her again. But even at that age i knew I needed a gun to beat a gun.

I never use my pistol for anything other than protection, and in these days, every law abiding citizen needs one.

The Only time I ever worried about going to juvenile detention, was when my mom shot that guy, I was about 16- 17 at the time.
