South Dakota has one of the best state Shall Issue laws. About 7.5 percent of the population already has carry permits.
Reasonably, the legislature said: Why should you have to get a permit to exercize a constitutional right? They passed this version of Constitutional carry by a little less than 2/3 majority in the Senate.
Why did Governor Daugaard veto it? Mostly pressure from the MSM and the law enforcement associations, I would guess.
The idea that he should not pass the law, because some overzealous law enforcement types might illegally detain citizens is bizarre.
citizens should be citizens, with a comma.
“They passed this version of Constitutional carry by a little less than 2/3 majority in the Senate.”
Time for SD voters to vote out those who didn’t support the bill, along with the Governor.
Problem solved.
“Friends don’t let friends vote Democrap”.
So this was a “constitutional carry bill” then? Wow.
It’s appalling that a Leftist loon state like Vermont can have constitutional carry in place for decades and a fly-over state’s governor still can’t stomach it.
