In another post regarding a ‘National CCW permit’, there was a reference to a quote from Peter Hamm, a spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. He stated "There are already too many states that have too weak a system of approving people for concealed-carry permits." He went on to say that Florida's standards are so low that some death-row inmates there have permits. There was no source given for these statements, so except for the Brady spokesman statement, I have no way of judging their validity.
I wonder if anyone has any factual knowledge regarding the statements, or if anyone knows how facts behind these statements can be researched?
