A good thing....keep it up.
You’ll notice, it’s one in a pattern of gun rights that he’s been pushing through.
Constitutional carry would be nice...not supporting that makes one wonder.
I’m glad he’s doing this. I’d think any Republican candidate should advocate the same. Good on him.
I’m aware of all of that...but the second amendment is pretty clear, yet I need a permit?
Constitutional carry would be nice...not supporting that makes one wonder.
Walker stuck gum under his desk when in 3rd grade.......it makes one wonder.
We’re going in the right direction!
: )
agreed
Great, now I want the right to purchase a suppressor!
Look how incensed the libs get over anything resembling a poll tax, yet I have to qualify and pay a fee to access my 2nd amendment rights.
Good for Walker!!!
The governor can’t do it all alone
We don’t have a active lobby like AZCDL pushing it, we lost a prime mover when Galloway resigned.
There other states pushing Constitutional carry also KS, NC, SD, ID, NH.
There seems also a reluctance to take small steps and to only go for the whole thing by some in the OC movement in the state.
All the above mention states have a history of chipping away then going for constitutional carry Any law that gives us a small win is better then no law. Or a law the demands it all and will not pass.
Reporters. You keep thinking they might learn something about the subjects they write about.
The Castle Doctrine doesn't just apply to homeowners, obviously. And you can't shoot people you "perceive" as a threat. That's loaded language. You "perceive" everything, real or not. The threat has to be both subjectively and objectively reasonable, not just a perception.
And the Castle Doctrine doesn't authorize you to shoot anyone. It's facing an imminent, real, deadly threat that does that. The Castle Doctrine is that you aren't required to run from your house before resorting to deadly force, as you might be anywhere else.
There are related elements of self-defense law in many states that relax standards for the use of force in your home. Things like, if someone breaks in your door you can assume they are a deadly threat. But the Castle Doctrine is only that you don't have to retreat from your home.
Actually, California Gun owners have taken the lead on this issue here. A Federal Judge in Fresno ( home to FR) has struck down California’s ten-day waiting period for gun purchases, and he has given the state 180 days to comply. I believe he carved out first-time gun purchasers, but said it made no sense to restrict anyone who already owned at least one gun. The ruse here has been that the law “protected the innocent” from someone who goes out and buys a gun to murder someone with whom they’ve just had an altercation. Problem with that is that it never happens.
The other “fun lawsuit” here in CA is the four gun shops who are suing the state over an arcane law that says you can’t put a picture of a handgun ( rifles and shotguns are o.k.) in the window of your store to show the public what you’re selling.
