The idea of ANYONE being able to legally carry a firearm concealed without ANY type of check or permit is very troubling to me. I for one am very happy with having a permit system in place so that a background check can be done and a person must complete a class to be able to legally conceal a firearm. I would also not be opposed to a proficiency exam being added as well to the requirements for getting a permit.
Thank you for providing the article. He really ripped up the whole licensing thing. I love how the only people that make that argument seem to be the ones "shredding" it. I never made that analogy, and trust me i'm fully aware ( I've been on this forum long enough) that there are plenty of morons that would pass any and all requirements needed for a concealed carry license then proceed to blow their left nut off while mexican carrying the next week. Since you brought up the driver's license "dilemna" I would be all for a more stringent licensing system in place, even then there would still be accidents though BUT, that DOESN"T mean we scrap the whole system! And thanks to the next poster who pointed out the definition of the 2nd amendment, that means you automatically win any debate or discussion so good for you. Bottom line, I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment and that more people should own firearms and more people should carry either open or concealed, but I also want to make sure myself and my family are safe and if someone next to me is carrying a concealed weapon and I don't have the choice of whether to leave the area like I do if they are open carrying I would like to know they have shown a basic proficiency in being able to handle that firearm.
First, I wrote that short analogy. How am I 'shredding' it?
Second, the definition of a criminal is that they commit crimes and ignore the law. Be aware no amount of anything will prevent crime. You seek to create more criminals and more crimes by creating laws that don't exist.
Third, anytime anyone inserts a "but" in their argument they do not truely understand or grasp the emptiness of that argument.
Lastly, again note that <broken link removed> , <broken link removed> , <broken link removed> , <broken link removed> , or <broken link removed> either cared to ignore the law or just can't read. They all failed to get permission from the government for their firearm yet they were in possesion of a concealed firearm.
