Online Year-End Training Class: Fill & Download for Free

I have no problem with anyone getting a dog that suits them from any ethical source.I have problems with people who pay other people to keep harming dogs and people.Thus, if you get your dog from a good breeder that has titles and genetic health screenings on their breeding stock, etc, or from a rescue that engages in good practices of not warehousing dogs and being careful to make correct placements then more power to you!However, if you get your dog from a pet shop, online puppy mill, that guy that’s a friend of your cousin who bred his Lab with no papers, or a “rescue” engaged in funny business, then it may not be my choice but when your dog or the next litter born because of your purchase ends up dumped in my rescue or biting my dog at the dog beach or in my training class with a teen devastated to learn his dog is losing his sight by the time he is two years old. Then it is certainly my business.

Let me tell you some details about this shooting that the media is deliberately leaving out. They are leaving them out because it would change the whole narrative on pushing gun control and make a lot of people go, “Hmmm…”.The shooter was a 24-year-old male. The year is 2018. These values are important. Because 21 is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in the state of Maryland as well as being Federal law.So the earliest this tool could have bought a gun is in 2015.In 2013, Maryland passed the Firearm Safety Act (FSA 2013). This law went into effect October of that year. This law radically changed the gun purchase and ownership landscape in Maryland as a reaction to Sandy Hook. None of which would address Sandy Hook but, hey, never let a crisis go to waste.The most notable change was the institution of a permit-to-purchase for handguns. It was sold as a crime reduction measure for Baltimore. This means after October 2013 you can no longer walk into a gun shop in Maryland and buy a handgun by simply filling out a form.Before the FSA, Maryland had already banned private sales of handguns requiring them to go through a dealer (universal background check) and all handgun sales were subject to an 8 day waiting period, the guns were registered with the State Police and you could only buy 1 handgun every 30 days unless you are a designated collector in the state. Also, Maryland has a Handgun Roster of “safe” handguns ensuring only approved models are sold in the state.So Maryland already had most of gun control’s vaunted laws for public safety and reducing crime and so-called gun violence. Then the FSA came along and added what follows.A permit is required to purchase a handgun called the “Handgun Qualification License” (HQL). This permit is issued by the State Police and is good for 10 years.To get an HQL, you must first attend a State Police approved training class at your expense and it must include a live fire component. Military, law enforcement and previous owners of certain guns that required training are exempt. That class will run between $150 and $300 and take between 8 and 16 hours.Then you must be fingerprinted. Only electronic submissions are accepted and only from designated vendors the State Police accepts. Again, at your expense. The cost is typically between $50 and $80. Once taken you must submit your application within 72 hours or you must get the fingerprints again.Then you must fill in your HQL application. It can only be done online (no paper forms) and you must pay the fee of $50 via credit or debit card (no cash or checks). There’s a lawsuit going on right now about this denial of rights based on banking ability and access to a computer. You provide your proof of training and fingerprint information at this time.Once submitted the application takes around 20 to 40 days to approve. There is no statutory processing time mandated meaning the state could end handgun sales in Maryland by simply never processing the applications.After all of this, you finally receive a card in the mail that gives you permission to buy a handgun in Maryland. It costs you $250 to $400, takes around two months and enables you to now fill out the form that you filled out before the FSA along with all of the prior restrictions that were in place that the HQL did not rescind. You have a license, training and fingerprinting but you still have to wait 8 days to take possession of your handgun because they still don’t trust you to snap.Oh, as a cherry on top, Maryland introduced Form 77R as part of this process. This form is new and is a medical waiver allowing the state to do a full check of any medical records in your name. You must waive your HIPAA rights as part of this process and it is required for every single handgun purchase. You cannot opt out.So what all this means is the Jacksonville shooter, being a Baltimore resident, was subject to ALL of these restrictions to buy his two handguns! Let us summarize the list of gun control laws that were in effect to stop him from shooting innocent people as all of these laws were sold as “public safety”:Mandatory license to purchase a handgun.Fingerprints required to get the license.Mandated training with live fire to get the license.Full background check to get the license including a mental health check.Waive your HIPPA and privacy rights to make sure you aren’t dangerous or mentally ill as part of the background check.8 day waiting period before you can take possession of the handgun.Registration of the handgun with the state.One gun per month.Only state-approved handguns can be purchased.Universal background checks for all handgun purchases.Our shooter jumped through every single hoop including a literal wish list of every desired gun control law we are told we need. They sold these laws as intended to prevent these very types of crime from happening!And this was just to get his guns! Let’s summarize the additional Florida State laws he violated:Carried a concealed firearm without a concealed carry permit.Carriage of a firearm into a designated “no guns” property.And, of course, the unlawful shooting of several people in violation of all of these laws.The only law he might have followed is the transport of his firearms interstate between Maryland and Florida. So he gets a pass on this one.Is it any wonder the media isn’t talking a lot about this shooting to push the gun control narrative? If they did people would start to learn these facts and really begin to question what is going on. In this case when uncomfortable truths exist the media ignores and slides the incident aside. Can’t have people knowing about strict gun control laws and hearing they were followed to the letter. Can’t push the “lax Florida gun laws” narrative when the shooter was from Maryland, a poster child for gun control.Who to blame is the shooter. But gun control won’t tell you that but also won’t talk about it lest they get blamed too!

I think one of the best ways these days is to build an active Facebook page dedicated to some strong interest and group of potential buyers say dog lovers and owners in Texas State and run FB ads to really engage with these usersOnce your FB Page becomes really active it's time to build a store using Shopify or WooCommerce and start drop-shipping businessI know of a few hot-shots who make upwards of $60k a day and trust me it's a lot of money, but then there’s still a lot more money to be made - so you can start today and scale to at least $60 a day, if not $600, $6k or $60kApart from blogging and freelancing you can also run your online training classes if you're really skilled at something like playing guitar or singing or any specialised skill like Ruby on Rails or ASIC/VLSI or Matlab etcLastly you can also start an online marketplace by pooling in a group of experts in a specific industry such as logo designing or an online deals and coupon site listing the best offers in a specific industry or area and making money from affiliate marketingThe possibilities are endless and I feel you'll end up making lot of money and being successful only when you do something that you're really passionate aboutI've written over 100,000 personally over last 10 years and I never get bored of writing and I'm quite sure I'd have published over a million articles under my name before I retire…. And yeah probably test drive every possible car on this planet and buy a few because that's my other addiction and when I drive those mean machines and review them it doesn't feel like a task it's just so much fun to build car blogsAnd now I love building Desi Bloggers World community so much as the Dot Desi Ambassador that I feel there's not a single day when I can go to bed without writing a blog post and answering queries of my group membersI hope you got my point here - in a nutshell, do what really excites you and not just for the heck of making a few quick bucks, because that'd never work for you in the long run in my humble opinion!
