Damn, you played the "Jerry Springer" card on me...

If I'm gonna hit, I'm gonna hit hard.........................

[StagLefty]

just watch the Jerry Springer show................

With all due respect-NO !!

[Bailey Guns]

The decision to carry a sidearm is a decision that carries with it a tremendous moral obligation to yourself and the society that you encounter.

I would just like to see some means of making sure that those that choose to carry are well aware of that obligation.

We see what happens when people do not uphold their moral obligations daily, just watch the Jerry Springer show................

Sorry...no. The proof this is a bad idea can be found in today's vote.

Now for getting the flamethrower- While I am all for loosening the stranglehold and assault on our 2A rights I am not so sure the Constitutional Carry was that great of a thing.
After working in the retail end of the industry for a few years there were certainly some who while able to lawfully purchase and own a firearm I am not so sure that they should be carrying. You know the type, the "I am glad he is not my neighbor" kind.
I think there should be some means of ensuring that the individual is competent to carry.

Well said, and I agree.

Another case of law abiding peoe gettimg the shaft. I fight for this country in the Army and I have to admit it kills me to see where this country is heading. The illegals have more damn rights than we do.

Bacon is my Senator, he will be getting another email from me.

Of course. We certainly don't want those people having a means to defend themselves.

That whole theme sounds pretty familiar. Wonder where I've heard it before?

I am so disappointed in them. The answers they gave were so lame and predicable. Freedom is a four letter word to some people.

[roberth]

In other words: " If you are going to carry a weapon we want to know who you are and we want your money".

Hmmm, Chairman of the Committee, D- Boulder.....
There is your answer right there!

I know what you mean but we have to take the good with the bad. Infringement is infringement.

Very true roberth, but just as infringement is infringement, incompetent is incompetent.


I am all for being able to carry and to do so without a "Coat Tax" but I do feel that having a competency requirement to do so is not asking much. You have to prove competency to drive, to be a plumber, to be an electrician or to properly close a lane on a highway.
