Yes, that's what 'gun control' is all about. Preventing suicides.
permits are a safety check to prevent gun violence or suicide.

So a permit would have helped Vince Foster?
I wish Texas would do this.
Well, the Mountain Lions are now on notice when the dog and I get some daily exercise in the National Forest.
Can’t believe any poll from “Everytown”.
More importantly, our fundamental rights are not subject to a vote. That’s what the Bill of Rights is all about in the first place. The problems we face aren’t “gun violence”. A firearm is a hunk of metal. By itself it is incapable of violence. People are violent.
Good try, though.
The only problem I see here is that South Dakota does not require applicants for a concealed weapons permit, which is going away, to undergo firearms safety training or demonstrate competence with a firearm.
I get the feeling, since I don’t trust liberals at all, this will be an opportunity for the libs to use as a showcase to find anything done wrong due to the lack of training requirements, and it will hit every major news outlet every time something happens. Hope this isn’t used to blow up in the faces of second amendment privilege people.

So, in other words, the South Dakota Legislature voted to NOT infringe our 2nd amendment rights.
The DIMocRATS in 2019 are SO IGNORANT and/or just DISHONEST.
Trust anything that they claim at the peril of your LIBERTY.

Had this for a long time in Alaska. Stats haven’t changed that much.
Goombah’s be more careful about who they try to rob...
Permit? Ha!!
Mississippi hasn’t gone quite that far but they did amend their open carry to also allow concealed weapons in purses/fanny packs and other non-holster containers that kept them concealed. I have their “enhanced” carry permit which allows a little more leeway in where I can carry legally - doesn’t mean I’m always “100% in compliance” though.
As a Kentucky resident, I lament the fact that after 100 years we finally have a GOP gov. and GOP legislature, yet we still cannot get constitutional carry passed. Kentucky drops farther down the pro-gun rankings of states every time another state opts for permitless carry.
The main reason it does not pass is because while being pro-gun, Kentucky is also pro tax-you-out-the-wazoo and too many government types see it as a loss of revenue.
House South Carolina moved ahead with Constitutional Carry yet?
It is on our Retirement short list, but I won’t move there unless they get er’ done.
