The article is full of a lot of FUD but does not offer even one example of a CC permit holder then using a concealed firearm to commit a crime. Not one, much less compelling statistical evidence that the rules should be changed.
Their lone example is bull.
He didn’t need a CCW to shoot his girlfriend.
So? One is presumed innocent until convicted. And if one is "convicted" for a crime of violence they are NOT eligible for CCW in Cook Co. I see what they did there.
My understanding is that state also issued drivers licenses to people who later got a DUI.
I bet none of the drive-by shootings and gang slayings were carried out by permit holders.
Hey, I'm all for denying CCW to racially obsessed nutjobs, and if they're really pazzo, locking them in rubber rooms like the old days. Of course, that would put away not only the Virginia psycho-homo-broadcaster, but 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Dept. of Justice, and a bunch of other places as well. . . So all in all, good thinking, CST!
It seems to me like what we need to look at is publications that print this sort of crap………...
IF the local police ‘object’ to someone getting a CHL, for legal obvious reasons, are they not REQUIRED by law to inform the FBI section performing the NCIS background check?
CC’s go through more of a check than most govmint employees.
Kansas just passed Constitutional Carry.
If the rates of homicide go up, they may have a point.
If the rates stay statistically equal or decrease,
THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON THE REAL CAUSE OF VIOLENT CRIME.
(culture)
Questionable people possessing guns don’t worry about CCW laws.
And just who decides who is ‘Questionable’?
Those who would advocate Liberty by any chance?
As I recall,(please correct me if I am wrong) the Second Amendment does not mention the need for permits.
I wonder if they have any clue how many police officers across America this statement applies to?
They are going the Soviet road...mental institutions and classifications and reduced freedom for politically incorrect (mentally ill) “domestic terrorists” as classified by Obama’s Homeland inSecurity. Hillary! is talking about putting these same pepole into “summer FEMA camps” for re-education so they can get along with the Marxists. I tell you, the liberals (and much of GOPe) have gone Stalin!
