Register your gun...

Ok, this is going to be more of a rant than anything...
I was watching a movie on TV yesterday called Hideaway. At one point in the movie Jeff Goldblum knows someone is trying to get in his house and hurt his family, so he is standing behind the front door with his shotgun aimed at it. Someone knocks and he says "come on in, its unlocked", and instead of the bad guy, its a cop. The first thing the cop says after opening the door is "Is that thing registered?"!!!
I see this all the time on tv, but this one takes the cake because the person being asked the question was standing in his own home trying to protect his own family.

For those of you whom dont know, and I imagine there are a few who dont (I have actually had people ask me"... YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER YOUR GUN. Think about it, If that were a requirement then it would be illegal for you to have a gun that was not registered, and the government cannot make it illegal for you to have a gun (unless you are a felon).

I sometimes think that this is some kind of government brain washing so they can later pass illegal anti gun legislation, but the more I think about it I realize that it is only one thing...
IGNORANCE!
Whomever is creating or writing these movies must actually think that it is true, that if you have a gun it must be registered. In reality, the only time you have to have a permit to carry a gun is if you are leaving your home/property, and you are concealing the gun. In that circumstance you have to have a permit, but not a permit for the gun. You have to have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, it has nothing to do with the individual weapon. If you don't have the permit, you can still carry a gun, but it cannot be concealed in any way. That is it! That is the Law! Dont believe everything you hear! Find out for yourself!
