No Right to Concealed Carry

I don't disagree with you. Just like needing a drivers license to be able to drive, a proficiency test and a book test should be required for either type of carry in my opinion. Show me you understand firearms safety and can handle the weapon then I'm 100% for the right to do so.

 

This is one of the things fubar with the laws today. Need to take a class to conceal, don't to walk down the street with an AR over your shoulder.

Don't have any issue with having to take a class, as long as they don't start making classes so hard to get and expensive it would become prohibitive to people.

 

Not singling anyone out but I think the underlying issue with the ruling is being missed or at least not identified properly.
The ruling is affirmation that government gets to decide if you "need" to exercise your right. Think about that for a minute. Forget all the nonsense of classes and proficiency because the courts already have. What is being said is in summary is; prove to us that you need to excise your right and we will decide if you may. There is no shall in there at all.
Now with that all said there are several states that are MAY issue concealed carry regardless of this ruling so in effect this ruling doesn't change any current law at all.
This isn't some reversal of Heller, despite what both side debate would like you to believe.

 

I meant in general terms

 

Gotcha.

 

yessir!!

 

Keep and bear is pretty cut and dry .....just saying.

 

Trial,
I hear you loud and clear and agree the ruling is indeed a bad thing.

 

This did not happen in the USA it happened in California.

 

I don't feel threatened by anyone carrying concealed, licensed or not.....except the crapheads who commit crimes regardless of any law.

 

As a retired LE, I never worried for a minute about the Folks with concealed carry permits. They were always the law abiding people. Now the criminals carried concealed and I never met one that had a permit. I am trying to think but in 27 years, I can't remember any crook carrying a concealed weapon that wasn't stolen or registered to them. This kind of ruling is also one of the big reasons I am a California refugee.

 

Yes. Good plain English analysis. Not a good ruling for the 2nd amendment.

I haven't been a member of the NRA for some time, but at this point I'm going to join again.
