When the Boys & Girls get back from fighting in Iraq and Trashcanistan...they wont be too pleased to hear that while every affirmative action cop in America (the free?) gets to carry concealed to protect their familes....while freshly baptized by fire..combat veterans...CAN NOT...

The bill allows more people to carry concealed firearms who would otherwise not be allowed to. It's a positive step.

Hasn't Congress adjourned for the summer today?

If so, I am obligated to state that I was wrong about the pubs in Congress, at least Delay and the house. I really didn't expect them to hold off the AWB extension.

For the dems to get a new semi ban they have to start from scratch in the fall during the final run up to the election.
That will be tough going.

The concealed carry for cops could be positive, if it is a step on the way to true national concealed carry for citizens.

A lot depends on who holds Congress.

Guess I'm voting (republican) after all, at least as long as Cheney stays on the ticket.

Guess that means I will be badgering and browneating everyone unfortunate enough to come in contact with me into voting too.

The bill allows more people to carry concealed firearms who would otherwise not be allowed to. It's a positive step.And in contrast, any bill that creates two seperate classes of citizens is bad. I would assume most FReepers agree with me on this one.

Let's push now to add active duty and honorably discharged military. Pretty soon, it could become routine enough that every law-abiding citizen is permitted to keep and bear arms.
