So, for those of you in the liberal occupied State of California, you can own an AR-15! (sort of)

"Where can I get me a huntin' license?"
Sorry Adam, but your belief - not matter how sincerely held it may be - does not change the FACT that violent crime rates have declined everywhere concealed carry has been enacted. Of course, perhaps Wisconsin will be different, just like the socialists always think that the next place to try socialism will be successful because the right people will be in charge there.
</sarcasmm>
...and just think of all the children's books we would have missed had concealed carry been legal in Tookie Williams' day!

Bloody typos...
can anyone explain to me the logic of saying "hey, you. you're a citizen, we have no problem with you owning a gun, you can protect yourself and your family in your house with it, you can carry it in the woods hunting, but you can't carry it on the street."
and worse, the ones who say "you can't carry it concealed, but you can carry it open. but if you carry it open you will very likely be harrassed, and will face possibility of charges for 'brandishing a firearm.'"
he is, plain and simple, an ignorant man. it has been proven time and again that concealed carry WORKS. it has lowered crime everywhere it has been used, and my concealed carry permit has lowered crime in my neighbor
Hmmm. Must be one of those cops who has a .40 Glock "just going off" in its holster from time to time.
Crime was real bad 130 years ago compared to today?

It is relatively easy to get and C and C permit here in Florida and no uptick in crime rate. The fact that one out of fifty you encounter may be packing may be more like a deterrant.
I kinda like the idea of an old forty five colt stapped on gunslinger style. NOTHING concealed. You know what I have.So bad boys what you going to do. Bwahahahahahahaha!
I agree with him, partially.
I think that people should be allowed to carry their guns in plain sight. That way, there will be no doubt that individuals are prepared to defend themselves, and that criminals prey upon them at their own risk.
What a maroon this guy is. He only wants cops and retired cops to be able to carry.
An armed society is a polite society. Ive heard more than once that more women in Texas carry than any other state. Texas also has the lowest rates on assault on women.
Turns out the bad guys don't bother to get a CC permit, and the good guys who do, don't abuse it. There it is - the obvious once again. Criminals break the laws, law biding citizens, don't.
Why are they so special and the common American citizen not?
"I agree that retired law enforcement professionals should be permitted to carry a concealed firearm as long as they follow state and federal laws and those policies presented to them by their former law enforcement agencies."
Ah. An elitist. He and his cohorts are OBVIOUSLY much smarter, trainable, responsible and more astute than any private citizen could possibly be.
As a former Police Officer I can safely say that that guy is an idiot.
let's take the fire power away from the police too then.
