You are absolutely correct. The gun grabbers have put an incredible spin on this opinion. Anyone who reads it can see that.
I encourage all reading this thread to read the actual opinion (it's not long) to see the court's rationale. The Act was struck down ENTIRELY because it allowed local governments (as opposed to the state) to regulate the issuance of concealed weapons permits, in violation of the state constitution which says, "no municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms."
In other words, if the law had a preemption clause (as many state CCW laws do), the court would not have struck down the provision for this reason. The important thing to note is, the court DID NOT decide whether Art. II Section 6 of the NM Constitution prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons. That is still an open question.
Bottom line is, the Brady Center For Spreading Lies and Misinformation has simply spun and spun and spun to conform these types of opinions in their favor.
There was no provision for reciprocity.
There was too high a fee. ($100)
There was annual renewal.($100)
There was no provision for calibers under .32
You had to qualify with each caliber you intended to carry.
You had to qualify for both revolver and auto if you decided to carry either one.
The bill working now covers all of these items.
Reciprocity with states surrounding NM.
$100 fee for a 5-year license.
$35 renewal.
Under qualifying, if you can qualify with the .45 Automatic, you will be allowed to carry either revolver or auto in any caliber.
Bill Richardson said he would sign a CCW bill if it got to his desk. John Sanchez says the same.
I hope to get that answer from Richardson on tape at our gun show in October.
A wrist snapping flame thrower! =^)
I thought that looked familiar - that's what I carry, (you've got good taste).
All the comfort of "point and click"...
As opposed to the gun-grabbers' wish, "Police are forced to deny CCW permits".
It's well within the realm of possibility. However, there are 3 pages of Baca's in the Albuquerque phone book alone.
This phrase appears 13 times out of 20(?) in their state by state summary.
Doesn't look like they're doing too well :)
