Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing
I would add that gun control laws and regulations are largely "feel good" stuff. They make people FEEL like all the crazy and violent people out there will be controlled and regulated. However, those laws don't do anything of the kind.

Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing
I couldn't wade through 16 pages of this.
My main reason for supporting Constitutional Carry is that no amount of laws or regulations are going to stop criminals from carrying or using guns for crime. They only make it more difficult for law abiding people to use and carry a gun. So why not level the playing field and let law abiding people carry guns for lawful purposes without hindrance or cost? The laws against using guns in crime or against possession by felons will still be there.
What you will find if this passes is lawful people will use guns lawfully for the most part and criminals will use guns to commit crimes for the most part. Same as before, but now more lawful people will be armed.

Good point.Lambda Force wrote:I say teach it in school along with driver ed, sex ed, and phys ed. Maybe throw in a semester of civics while we're at it.
Problem solved.
We go to great lengths to educate people about all sorts of things. Yet when it comes to self defense or use of force laws, we just say "get training" or "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Public service commercials and such wouldn't be a bad idea. We just need to be careful that we the information differentiates between the law and stuff people teach for liability reasons.
