I don't know what pisses me off more; the sheriff, or the idiotic citizens that crap all over our Constitution by supporting him.
If legislators don’t meet a June 9 court deadline to pass such a law, anyone with a state firearm owner’s identification card could legally walk anywhere in public with a concealed weapon
And? I fail to see the problem, other than that it's still too restrictive.
Under Dart’s proposed “may issue” ordinance, he would grant licenses only to people who demonstrate a need to carry a firearm for protection.
So if someone is deemed to not need to carry, is the sheriff going to personally guarantee their safety and the safety of their family?
Dart said he recently spoke to elderly people in the south suburbs. They complained that the police were unresponsive. Some said they were regularly burglarized while they attended church.
“It’s a matter of timing,” Dart said, noting that those people could have become homicide victims if they came home during a burglary.
So, we have a problem with cops being unresponsive to crime, and the head cop has the bright idea to further restrict people's ability to defend themselves. What a freek'n genius!
Business owners who could hire armed security for protection also might have a hard time getting a license, Dart said.
No need to buy and carry a gun, just rent a guy with a gun.
Businesses could restrict concealed weapons by displaying a sign
How about a sign that encourages concealed carry, but bans these freedom hating cops?
Dart said the $300 application fee would pay for the employees he would have to hire to process license requests.
$300!? How many man-hours are going to be needed for each application?
