No they are not.
Just don't go waving it at anyone and no gun is illegal.
The right of the people to bear arms, except machine guns and cannons.

You know.... nothing is illegal, until you get caught. freedom

Laws are not there to prevent anything. They are there to decide the punishment for getting caught.

most people think using a gun is the end of their problems just like in the movies. its not its just the beginning.
the worst thing that can happen to a cop is he use his gun. he will try to avoid using it. criminals know this and try to take guns away from cops but CCW's people think the thugs are going to run when you pull your gun.
not so. they are going to die. do you get it???? they think you are going to back down bek that is what usually happens but it wont this time they are going to die. and then the family is going to press charges. and you my friend are going to lose your house and job over a worthless thug.
Who is "most people"? Any CCW carrier I know has always understood, if you aim that weapon, you better be prepared to shoot. There is no bluffing when you aim your weapon at someone. I don't know who has been teaching people things, maybe Hollywood, but at no time have I EVER been taught, "Just point your gun at them, that will get them to back down". I know good and well that if I aim at someone, it means I am preparing to shoot someone.

I also know, it's one thing to shoot at a firing range, even with moving targets, and it's an entirely different situation when you are in fear for your life/safety to the point that you feel the need to draw your weapon. It means, while you may have a nice tight shot group at the range, you may not have the same results when you're in a bad situation.

There's a reason....well, okay, there's many reasons...why I refuse to live in the state of CA ever again until they get their stupidity taken care of.

The 2nd Amendment did not state, specifically, what type of weapons. It simply said that we have the right to bear arms, and it SHALL. NOT. BE. INFRINGED.

It's pretty cut and dry, not sure why liberals have a difficult time understanding that.

The right to bear arms, does not describe the arms to bear.
It could be a rock. It could be a stick. It could be a knife. It could be a hammer.
What about cannons and kegs of gunpowder? There is no definition of what arms.
It most certainly could be a gun. A gun of any kind or caliber or means of propulsion, to over come your oppressor.

We're seeing a lot of videos where a mob attacks a person or couple and everyone wishes a CCW owner would open fire and drop several of the attackers.

And then ask this. Why would someone have a "live by the sword, die by the sword" mentality? Where does that come from?
This isn't "live by the sword die by the sword"-there seems to be more honor in that.

These incidents of packs of kids attacking 1 or 2 people out of nowhere -usually older and weaker- is extremely cowardly.
