Do you believe that allowing military spouses to purchase handguns, in a state where their husband/wife is stationed, is a good thing?

Why is this even a question? A spouse, service member or citizen should be able to purchase a firearm in any state, as long as they pass the federal background check.

Its a questions because questions generate a discussion. I am with you, but some people aren't and I want to know what everyone thinks about the topic and why. Problem is that not every background check looks at all the same data on a state level and a person might not be eligible in one state but may be considered eligible in another.

Negative. I am all for being able to purchase weapons freely without a background check. However, I do feel there needs to be some sort of way to identify those who have lost those rights because of crimes and what not that disqualify them.

There should be no more restrictions on a military family than anyone else in the state if they have orders assigning them there. I understand some states may require you are a legal resident there. Well those PCS orders should handle that qualifier. Never had a problem with my guns, and I never worried about the family when i was deployed. The Mrs and most of the kids could shoot as well as I could and clean the weapon afterward...

I have encountered the issue because I don't often change my vehicle registration and drivers license so at first glance I'm not a resident. I don't just carry my orders everywhere.

I always changed my vehicle registration but still had my expired Ohio drivers license when i retired. It had been expired for nearly 20 years. Today I have a current OH DL but a CCP from Arizona....

I've found that not changing it is easier. For example I don't pay any taxes in California and I don't have to worry about all of the inspections either.

This should not even have to be a law since it is in the 2nd Amendment. But based on reality, I do think that spouses of military should be able to purchase firearms in the state in which they reside. With the potential threats from terrorists, I would want every military family to be able to choose to protect themselves, not have the government decide that for them.
