It galls me be treated like
: a criminal in order to get a "permit" to exercise a Constitutional right,
: but I may end up doing so, rather than have our Boys in Beige lock me up
: should I ever have to defend myself.)

Actually, you don't have the Constitutional right to bear arms. No Federal court has ever upheld this as a right. Look it up.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Of course, it doesn't mean that they are either.
Sheesh. You crazy Americans...
