California Senator, Barbara Boxer, has introduced legislation with the express intent of "To establish minimum standards for States that allow the carrying of concealed firearms." On the surface, it appears to work towards standardization of concealed carry laws. Read closely and it appears as if the good Senator is attempting the Californication of handgun laws across the country. In other words, she seeks to turn all states which allow concealed carry into "may issue" states. My favorite section (NOT!) is:
(2) at a minimum, require that an applicant for a permit to carry a concealed firearm--
‘(A) be a legal resident of the United States;
‘(B) be not less than 21 years of age;
‘(C) demonstrate good cause for requesting a concealed firearm permit; and
‘(D) demonstrate that the applicant is worthy of the public trust to carry a concealed firearm in public.
