Some states (about 13 of them) have *state* laws that require a *state*
issued license or permit in order to own or have a firearm in your
possession.

(California is not one of them, BTW)

Having a firearm in your possession *without*
the required license or permit in those states is considered illegal
possession of a firearm.

I posted a link previously that listed those states and the penalties
for violations in each of the respective states. The penalties range
from one to two years in jail and a fine for first offense.


And I pointed out, all of that bureaucracy did not really make anyone
any safer. Some of the most dangerous cities in the country are in
those states.
