I've been wanting to get my concealed weapons permit for a while, however two things have been stopping me:
1. you have to do it 9-5, monday-friday. I don't feel like taking off of work for something that I shouldn't have to have a license for.
2. I hate background checks. I've gone through many, and don't have so much as a parking or speeding ticket to my name, ever, period. However, I'm afraid somebody will screw up and my SSN/fingerprints will come up as the zodiac killer or some crap. So what if I'm innocent, I don't think I should have to prove that to anyone!
The other thing is that I don't think I should have to have a license to carry a damn gun.
I hereby propose:
A campaign writing our state officials to repeal the requirement for a permit could have a shot. Instead of sucking up to their BS requirements, why don't we just fight it? Vermont has no requirement for a permit, why can't we?
If you're interested, let me know. I'll make up a basic form letter that you can edit and we can go from there. If anyone knows someone in VCDL that could get us some "press time" that would be great. I can probably get us mentioned in the richmond libertarian newsletter. Let me know what you think!
