DAMN!
I was spinning up a vanity with EXACTLY this proposal!
Concealed carry permit holders are already checked for criminal records and who knows what else. I know it takes more than a month to get a renewal on my Massachusetts LTC so they must be looking pretty closely.
So let’s take that one step further. Check me out as tight as you’d like, as I have nothing to hide. I had a speeding ticket 10 years ago, if that helps.
I was even going to propose a week or two of police-like training, just to calm the nerves of the Left. (I’m in Massachusetts, after all.) I like the idea of placing this Silent Sheepdog program under the local sheriff’s office instead of the states or the feds, but we want nationwide clearance to operate. Sheepdogs on a plane, ya think?
This would indeed be a Militia operation and heavily pro-Second. But without some “official” imprimateur, it would never fly.
