A rant not directed at any individual or group of individuals.
Let me see.....
Some folks are all for exercising the right to bear arms....
Some folks complain they have to jump through hoops to get the government's permission to have a concealed carry permit to make it easier to open carry. They complain loudly about "infringements" and talk about how great it would be to have "Constitutional carry".
But then...
Some folks get all excited that there will now be an extra, higher and more special, level of permission from the government that will allow people who meet new, more expensive, more stringent, criteria to qualify for that special permission....
because this new permission allows a new privilege?
It would appear to me the lawmakers are lounging in overstuffed leather covered chairs sipping brandy while smoking cigars and laughing about all those stupid gun owners who are now chasing this new carrot of having permission.. and being allowed... to be members of a new "special" class of people with a new level of "permission". And lining up to pay good money for it too!!!!
And it seems to me that any new laws that add to current law concerning carry permits only strengthens and entrenches the power of the government to infringe upon the right to bear arms by requiring folks have the government's carry permit permission slip. Making Constitutional carry even more difficult to attain.
And it seems very odd that anyone who believes in the right to bear arms would actually be in favor of increasing the government's power to regulate the bearing of arms just because there is a new "privilege" to be had.
