“This bill is designed to do one thing: allow citizens who are legally eligible to possess handguns to carry that handgun without obtaining a costly, burdensome and bureaucratic permit. “
So how do you figure out who can ‘legally’ carry?
Especially since no permit, and I’m assuming no ‘application’ would be necessary.
Excellent! Very glad to hear this.
It appears to me that the only thing our law makers need to do is insure that the Colorado Government obey the law that is already on the books, the second amendment.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed is the law.
* Does not repeal or otherwise change Colorado’s existing concealed carry permit law (CRS 18-12-201).
* Does not authorize the carrying of a concealed handgun by felons, the mentally ill, juveniles or anyone otherwise prohibited from possessing a handgun under state and federal law.
While it makes sense that the mentally ill should not have guns, the rest of it is just a bunch of bull and says no such thing in the second amendment.
How many so called juveniles fought in the war for independence? how many fought to free the slaves? world war 1 and world war 2 ?
Since the courts decide who is a felony then a felony could be almost any thing, so by todays standards we should ask the question how many felons and juveniles fought in the wars to keep our sorry ass,s free.
Besides, how are they going to keep a real criminal or the mentally ill from carrying a gun?
I do not carry a weapon of any kind and most likely never will, but i believe it is the peoples right so i will go along with what ever helps restore those rights.
At the same time if some one tried to stop some one from getting welfare because it appeared they did not need it bad enough every one would yell infringement.
But where it comes to the 2nd amendment no one seems smart enough to know what infringement even means.
It is our government and the people in control of the government that is trying to take away all of our freedoms so if we let them determine who the criminals are and what an infringement is concerning the 2nd amendment then we will all be criminals and will not be allowed to keep and bear arms any way.
And no i am not anti government, i just think we need to control the people in government instead of letting our hirelings control us.
Wisconsin is considering the same thing , I heard.
