Bennett also ordered (Sherrif) Weber to take a college level class on the U.S. Constitution.

Maybe he should have directed the good sheriff to a school like Hillsdale.

Or a correspondence course from Tom Woods.

What I never understood is the Constitution says Congress shall create any laws infringing on my rights to keep and bear arms. Then it lets state and local governments do exactly that. They force me to get government approval to carry a concealed weapon which can be arbitrarily denied by some local law enforcement official for any reason he sees fit.

Not so. That's what's so bizarre about the left's slavish devotion to protecting the First Amendment but not the Second. The First Amendment merely says "Congress shall make no law...", while the Second says "...shall not be infringed" without limiting the prohibition on who wasn't allowed to do any infringing. So at least pre-incorporation, the Second should have received MORE deference than the First.

Maybe the reporter should have been ordered to take a basic course on The Constitution as well. Only goes to show how myopic the press is...THEIR right to a free press is inviolable, everybody else not so much.

make sure that you are not .. an illegal alien

You may be right. But I’m curious where you get your informaton? I’ve known illegals with a FOID, and have seen illegals buy guns at Walmart.

I’ve taken a perverse interest in the topic because
a) My life has been saved twice by illegals who practiced conceal carry and as good Samaritans rescued me from murderous citizens ... but that was before there was a FOID.
b) I’ve been active on the illegal alien issue at least since ‘61. Long before they pulled guns on my attackers.

These people can’t even get the Amendments right.

All that is good, but free men don’t ask permission.
