In the US you can get a gun, own one, a rifle even, but this guy who had a machine gun on him got arrested. Then again this 19yo college girl carried one along in her purse, dummy bullets though, real gun.
So you need some kinda permit to have one I guess? See I thought bout this since I saw the PHX pics the shooting in the desert, didnt go there, but thats legal I assume, how does that work?

There are Federal AND State laws ... So generally speaking,
Certain guns and accessories need Federal permits. (machine guns and silencers)
States ... some prohibit ANY possesion or carrying without permits ... some require the gun to be carried openly unless you have a concealed carry permit. Example. Legally I can strap-on a pistol and holster old west style and walk down my street. If I put on a coat that covers the gun I have broken the law unless I have a concealed carry permit.
