I need some help working this idea out in my head.
I am slighty sympethic to the idea of making CCW a felony, but only slighty. It's in the very simple idea that we give all the law abiding permits and then we can come down on criminals harder that I get, but its a very complex issue, or a very simple Constitutional issue which is difficult for many to understand. .
How about a compromise. Leave CCW without permit a misdeanor but create a enhancer statute that it is a felony to possess a concealed weapon during a criminal act whether or not the weapon is used. Include resisting, evading and fleeing, obstruction, etc.......
I don't want to make a single mon that carries for self defense, but is living paycheck to paycheck and has to make very tough decions of what she cannot afford. $50 is alot of money, when you are already behind on the rent because she chose to buy food or shoes for her children. I don't want to make felons out of people like this. It's just wrong.
Or here is a better idea, IDK. Make an ammendment to waive the $37 if the person or dependants are on Foodshare or Badgercare, or something like that.
I really don't have this idea well formed, so I could use your help. WE have taken the Constitutional card as far as we can this session, so those debates won't help right now. That figt will continue with educating our wayward Senators by what ever means are necessarry.
