Class, renewals every so often, background check, depends on the state how in depth it is or is not.

Here in Ga it is a FBI background check only an has to be renewed every 5 years. Tn adds gun classes to the requirement an so does Fl. Al only requires the ok of the local sherrif.

For michigan you need to be of sound mind.... You do have to take a written and practical exam... IE safe handling and shooting. Background check is a must... any felony automatically disqualifies you, as well as most misdemeaners, and they are renewed every other year

You have to get the packet from the sherrif's department, fill out the paperwork and file it, get signed up for classes and take them... bring your certificate of proof of completion back to sherrifs and then wait to see if you qualify for it.

Right-To-Carry Law Type: Restrictive May Issue. The "may issue" is more often "no way". The categories for "may issue" are: making deposits; receiving money or cash flow; professional activities like doctors or pharmacies; correctional officers; former police officer; private detective and personal protection. For personal protection there must be documented evidence of recent threats, robberies, and/or assaults, supported by official police reports or notarized statements from witnesses. This state also requires permits for body armor.

I try to avoid cancer by not licking electric lines, not microwaving plastic containers, not eating Hostess products, and not drinking out of water bottles that have spent time in the heat. I try to avoid pesticides, I buy organic, I make my own oatmeal, and I avoid dyes. I don't lie on top of the t.v., sit behind the muffler, or BBQ in the living room. I don't buy chinese toothpaste, dog food with toxic preservatives, and cheap bubble baths. I use cast iron if possible, buy heritage seeds, and eat my own chickens, cattle, and pigs. I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs.
I will not accept that I have as much chance as the next guy and grow lazy.

I have locks and deadbolts on all exterior doors. I have two dogs I have chosen for their ability to be not only family pets, but guard dogs, too. I have fire alarms in every room. I have a fire extinguisher mounted next to my bedroom door. I have safety features on my electrical outlets and cleaning cabinet. I have been trained to use a firearm, and I keep one and clean it regularly.
I will not accept that I have as much chance as the next guy and grow lazy.

I do not loiter outside during lightning storms, nor do I allow the kids to do so. I turn off the computer and t.v., and we stay in a central room. I have never once stood in an open field during a lightning storm.
I will not accept that I have as much chance as the next guy and grow lazy.

Life does have a general risk of things happening to you, but two neighbors in the same circumstances can have very different results. For instance, my neighbor does not have a gun. I do. Do you think a robber would reap the same benefits at both homes?
I know I may still get cancer. or robbed, or struck by lightning, but as they are totally unrelated incidents, I cannot compare them as one. But to imply I have as much chance as anyone else, especially those who live destructive lives, is simply not true. I'd wager more smokers get lung cancer than non-smokers. Choices matter in life.
