That will do plenty in assuring FREEDOM FROM TYRRANY!
LIBERTY!
FREEDOM OF CHOICE!
I had understood there was a bill to eliminate CCW Permits and allow constitutional carry as well.
Rep. Roger Bruce, D-Atlanta, introduced a bill this session that would require four hours of training for anyone who gets a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The bill, which he described as "common sense," has yet to have a hearing in a committee.
Ah yes, the hackneyed "common sense" meaning anything from from what this moron proposes to complete bans. As in England's "common sense" gun regulations.
Bruce said ... "I keep trying to figure out what they are preparing for?" he said. "Is there some war they have to be ready for? Is there something pending that the rest of us need to know about?"
I guess this moron/democrat never heard of Columbine of Va Tech.
The sad and frightening thing is: HE REPRESENTS THE VIEWPOINS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS IN HIS DISTRICT. We don't have just one enemy. We have thousands in his district alone.
Georgia Tech and other colleges say campus security already works to keep students safe.
And fine job they're doing of it too. < - sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious > For a while there were at least one student robbed a week on or in the immediate vicinity of the GA Tech campus. The robberies tapered off when the wether got colder.
The Urinal/Constipation is at least as anti-second amendment was the Wash Compost. And this slanted article is just another shot at presenting their baised view.
"I keep trying to figure out what they are preparing for?" he said. "Is there some war they have to be ready for? Is there something pending that the rest of us need to know about?"
No, Roger the people just do not trust the government.
The American public has never been in greater danger than it is right now--but from the Decadence that is destroying the United States with cultural and moral rot within--not from an armed populace capable of defending itself when government can not or will not and, in many cases, seeks to restrain people from defending themselves!
Never greater danger! Not during the Civil War! Not during the Great Depression! Not during World War II! Americans have never been in greater danger!
The danger today comes from Decadence, internal moral and cultural rot, a press that utterly fails in its duty to inform truthfully the public (note tagline), and a fifth column in powerful positions which seeks to destroy and/or severly weaken the United States.
Never before have Americans been in such danger!
And if government will not protect the people--or if government poses a danger to the people--it is the right of the people--and it is the DUTY of the people--to protect themselves and their families!
But, regulating private property owners, ie bar and restaurants are an issue...however, allowing use on 'public' buildings is common sense and right.
This is stupid.
More stupidity.
More stupid ritual that has no meaning.
California is full of such laws. And Californians spend a great deal of thier time figuring out ways around these laws. Leftists love to pass laws that have no meaning--clutter up the law with regulations that have no common sense value. Then they feel that they have done something whereas they have not. One reason Leftists love such laws is that it enables them to enforce them selectively.
What is anyone going to learn in 4 hours? Those who want to know how to work the damn thing will find out. Those who don't will go throught the motions and learn nothing.
Is this sentence a mandatory inclusion? Is it in the AP style book or something?
It is cowardice twice over: the authors slip in their personal views without claiming same and shift the sentiment to others - and don't worry, there are always others (i.e. the 'critics').
It's similar to stories about alcohol in which the authors run dutifully over to MADD or Alcoholics Anonymous for a tut-tut quote.
Hussein's thugs won't like that.
If things got that bad, I doubt there'd be anyone to sue.
“For instance, any church or business, such as a restaurant or bar, would be able to decide whether to allow concealed weapons, he said, and regulations that limit the right to carry, such as when consuming alcohol, are still in place. “
The problem this presents is that the average person, going about their daily life and errands, finds that when a few places of business they frequent ban concealed carry, then the hassle factor makes carrying too much of a pain.
I would counter that concealed carry makes it just as much of a private matter as carrying HIV. We would not think of allowing a business the right to post a sign that forbids anyone carrying HIV from coming on to the premises. Nor would we allow a business to ban people who are wearing a certain style of underwear. Since it should be unlawful to allow a lawfully concealed weapon to be visible except in an exigent circumstance, whether or not a person is carrying is a totally private matter.
In Missouri, the law allows posting of a premises via legally defined signage (another important issue!), but the penalty for violating the sign is to make the permit holder liable for trespass, which in fact everyone is anyway.
see: 571.107 (2):
http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/c500-599/5710000107.htm
“Carrying of a concealed firearm in a location specified in subdivisions (1) to (17) of subsection 1 of this section by any individual who holds a concealed carry endorsement issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121 shall not be a criminal act but may subject the person to denial to the premises or removal from the premises. If such person refuses to leave the premises and a peace officer is summoned, such person may be issued a citation for an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars for the first offense.”
