What issue could unite a Republican lawmaker from Southern California and a 46-year-old lesbian from Natomas?
Guns, of course.
A bill introduced in the state Assembly last month aims to make it easier for Californians to obtain a concealed weapons permit.

Who would of thought this would ever be considered?
To: TPluth
Personal protection is an insufficient reason to have a CCW, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff. What a surprise. Chiefs and Sheriffs don’t want us carrying.

It’s a “shall issue” bill.

"Personal protection is insufficient," McGinness said.
Idiot. Personal protection is paramount.

Californians with personal responsibility. What a concept. You can bet the terminator will veto this one if he gets a chance. Hitler didn’t like armed citizens out of uniform.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on this making it through the CA legislature.

Yeah, if personal protection isn't enough, what would be? Saving your own life isn't sufficient to carry a gun?

"Both McGinness and Reed said that in their counties, simply wanting to carry a concealed weapon isn't good-enough cause."
So when are the local law enforcement officers going to be turning their firearms in?
To: drbuzzard
Oh, I’m not. And it doesn’t affect me anyway. I just thought it was interesting that they were even considering it.

If the changes proposed by the bill were already in effect, even O.J. Simpson would have been eligible for a concealed weapons permit in California prior to his recent felony conviction in Nevada, McGinness said. Whew!
Good point there.
I can just imagine what O.J. could have done in the past if he were able to carry a pistol.
I have visions of death and mayhem.
Thank God it's only a vision.

Chiefs and Sheriffs dont want us carrying.Maybe in the Golden State, but not where I live. The then-sheriff of my county happily signed my application with the remark, "We need more law-abiding gun owners." He's now the US Congressman from my district, but alas has a D behind his name.

Why not ,his dad was involved in that friendly gathering of Socialists, gun control worked in his hometown
FROM ARNOLD EXPOSED.COM
“Arnold openly supported Kurt Waldheim, Former UN chief and a former Austrian politician who participated in Nazi atrocities during World War II. Schwarzenegger’s name remained on Waldheim’s campaign posters, even after allegations of Waldheim’s war crimes were brought to light. Waldheim was even invited to Arnold’s wedding.
His father was a member of the Austrian Nazi Party who volunteered for the infamous SA and became a ranking officer. In the early ‘90s, Spy Magazine printed his father’s Nazi Party membership in their magazine. “

Perhaps I should have placed a "/sarc" at the end. I didn't deem it necessary however.
My point being, ban ALL the guns and some people will STILL do others harm.
Thus, I agree with you, Nicole most likely would be alive and O.J. dead.

"Personal protection is insufficient," McGinness said.In other words, The lives of every Californian is not worth giving up control over the ability to deny carry permits to law abiding citizens.
Make no mistake about it. It is not about guns. It is about control.

With an overwhelmingly liberal legislature, a fat hog has more of a chance at a slaughter house.
