Government shutdown

[Flyincowboy]

I submitted my ltc application and all supporting documentation yesterday. I am concerned about how the government shutdown may affect this. Thank you

Absolutely not. Your LTC is licensed through the State if Texas not the Federal Government.

I am aware of that it's the federal background check that I am concerned about.

The shut down of the government doesn’t shut down the FBI or the backgrounds. I don’t even believe it will slow it up.

I seen people getting background for gun purchases today at Ray’s Hardware in Dallas.

So long as they are still taking you money in the form of taxes they aren’t shut down.

FWIW, this president will not be closing the Smithsonian, or blocking off national monuments during the shutdown.
So there's that.

What a farce that was... grandstanding to make it as inconvenient as possible on the public....

Can we please send all th3 non essential federal employees home, and let them stay there until they get a productive job?

I hope a shutdown will open some eyes. I am thankful we have a President again. Finally someone that don't play the game.

I haven't even noticed the shutdown - except for a pic of a trash can that needed emptying, on the national news.

Turns out they were right- Non-essential personnel are really not essential. Looks like a way to cut some costs to me.

The Smithsonian closed yesterday.

Trump did not close the Smithsonian, the Democrats and some RINOs, by ignoring Border Security in the budget.

Here's what I wish the Republicans would do. Unfortunately, true Republicans are vastly outnumbered by the cabal of RINO's, Democrats, Socialists, and Communists in DC, so this will never actually happen. But IF we had a true Republican majority in the senate, I would love to see them announce that they will consider no bills at all until they get a bill from the House that includes full funding for the border wall. In the meantime, all available time will be spent confirming Trump's judicial nominees.

That means no consideration of gun confiscation, confiscatatory tax increases, socialized medicine, or any other crazy priorities from the Communists in the House. The non-essential part of the Federal government (which is really the majority of it, TBH) stays shut down, and we get no new regulations or taxes, but we do get a nice conservative shift in the judiciary. I call that a win.

How can you tell the government is shut down? Asking for a friend.
