They are trying to grant licenses that will restrict you to where you can currently carry without a license. Basically your home or place of business. The only difference is you will be able to legally carry a loaded gun between these places whereas now you cannot. They will say we are issuing CCW licenses in compliance with SCOTUS ruling, which they are not. My whole take on the matter is I will go out of my way to avoid a confrontation. Apologize even if the other person is wrong. But I will also do whatever it takes to save my life or that of a loved one or to prevent us from serious bodily harm. I will deal with the legal consequences after. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
I agree with you. I hope more people bring out the point that by essentially restricting CCW carry only to ones residence and place of business, they are violating the intent of the SCOTUS decision.
I hope more people question that if all of these places are proposed to be restricted, then where can a citizen legally CCW carry? The answer is essentially nowhere.
I have questioned these points in my testimony and have pointed out other things.
I pointed out that in these restricted no gun zones, seconds matter when there is a mass shooter. There is no way law enforcement will be able to respond in time to save lives.
I pointed out that it's high time they acknowledge that a responsible and vetted CCW holder can be an effective first line defense against these criminals.
I also stated that these measures only enable and embolden criminals. I reiterated that these measures do not protect the public but actually puts them at the mercy of a criminal with a gun.
