You must have the gun mailed to a local FFL dealer (gun store) and they perfrom the background check. Just an fyi since you apparently think that anyone can buy a gun online no questions asked.

That person is a criminal. Why do you think that has anything to do with law abiding people carrying? If someone wants to shoot someone, they will. A rule saying guns are not allowed wont keep them from coming in and shooting, it didnt at columbine, it didnt at virginia tech. These happened by people who were not licensed to carry guns, in places off limits to carry. The only way to stop someone with the intent to kill, is with equal force. You should be worried now about "when the bullets will start flying." Law abiding people are the only ones disarmed, and the law abiding wont be the ones shooting at you. WE would be your only chance of defense. You can live in your fairy tale world where if you tell criminals no guns, they will listen; but when reality hits you; you will wish you could defend yourself. It's a great thought that a rule could eliminate all crime and violence, but sorry thats not how the world works. Kathryn,
