well, I finally went down to the TNDOS office today and applied for my HCP. I have jumped through all of the governments hoops, I sat, I fetched, and I even barked on command. now all I have to do is wait. once I have the governments permission to excersice my second ammendment rights, I'll get started on getting my FSEP (free speech expression permit)

not really true. for a HCP you only need one background check. for the FSEP you need to have about a thousand, each from a different group who cries about their free speech being denied, while simulatneously crying about what someone else said "offending them".

not to mention the fact that I have one of those "middle finger things that go up", which is on the democrats "assault gestures ban" list...

What the heck is a FSEP?
Free Speech Expression Permit

the FSEP is a satire of the HCP/CCW, or whatever the carry permit is called in your state. basically, I was implying the stupidity of having to qualify for a permit in order to excersice one's constitutionally protected right.

it is amazing to me that we live in a world in which ones natural right to self defense needs to be ran past the state first, meanwhile other similar rights, such as teh right to free expression are considered "un permitable" if we need no permit for one, why do we need a permit for the other?
