But wait ....Obama says “ Enough ! “
Renting your second amendment rights, creating a group that comes to depend on those fees and tends to influence NRA groups not to take the cash cow away. Sheriff groups hold huge sway on NRA agendas and because of it NRA often does not end up fighting for your rights to carry without renting the right.
Go like Kansas did. Concealed-carry without all the hassle. For Kansas residents.
At least that’s what I’ve heard. If it changed or that’s not true, somebody advise. Thanks.
Open carry is much more effective. AND you don’t need to have the regime know or ask their permission.
General knowledge that permits are increasing and publicity, including the loud hand-wringing of the gun controllers, makes crowded venues less dangerous and everyone generally safer. except of course in Gun Free Zones.
I’ve had my CHL for many years now and I can tell ya, being responsible for your own security and that of my family gives me a great since of peace.
It’s not for everyone.
An important philosophy behind both open and concealed carry needs to be promulgated to the public:
“The public *are* the police.”
“The uniformed police are a convenience to the public, acting as the day and night watch, collectors of evidence, and doggedly pursuing wanted suspects for the courts.”
“That they also respond to a ‘hue and cry’ is useful, when they can. But there are inherently far too few of them, so the public must assume responsibility for its own protection. Only the public can police in all places and at all times.”
“In a dangerous situation, the public and police must support each other. This means the armed citizen has both the ability and responsibility to do so.”
TribLive (or perhaps John Lott) made technical errors:
(headline) America could use more concealed carry gun permit holders.
The poll made no mention of gun licenses or permits, only “policies”. Big difference.
Other errors: While PoliceOne did ask its 450,000 members, only 15,000 responded. 28.8% said “more permissive concealed carry policies for civilians.”
Here is the actual poll:
I’ll be right on it.
...”the right of the people to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed..” We don’t need no stinking, unconstitutional permits!
