Should anyone who sells liquor to a minor be sent to prison for life?

Exactly. They keep ratcheting up what a felony is. Non-payment of child support is a felony.

This article from the Sun-Sentinel was roundly bashed here about a year ago. The article was written in such a way that demonstrated who had CCW and what their criminal history was but NEVER mentioned their quote/unquote criminal history after CCW.

For instance, the article mentions the guy who shot his girlfriend in the head. Assuming I remember this correctly, he claimed he was cleaning his gun, it went off and the bullet struck her, killing her.

I don't believe he was convicted, and maybe even never went to trial. But the Sun-Sentinel doesn't mention this. Only that he killed her and uses this as an example of someone who holds a CCW but yet has a violent history.

Should his CCW be revoked for an accident? The way the Sun-Sentinel article is written I'd say that's a resounding "yes"!

While I have no problem with felons losing various civil rights forever, you do raise an interesting point, and one that has several different implications working on different levels.

There are simply too many laws, and too many lawyers.
At one time, there were more lawyers in California than there were in the rest of the world combined.
I have no idea what has happened to that figure in the last 30 years, but it is pertinent.

Someday, not too far of, they might just be able to make what you just wrote a felony.
An example of this would be to look at so called “hate crimes.”

Don’t think that you can be jailed for just using the N word? Think again.
Someday, they may define being anti homosexual as a crime in itself...

People who shoot relatives in the head while cleaning weapons are not good poster children for RKBA...
