Re: CHL’s – violation of rights or reasonable restriction?

terryg,

My compliments on your thought provoking post.

Personally, I did not consider the CHL process unreasonable, however I can understand the viewpoint of those that may. Society is constantly evolving, and I think everyone would agree that our world has changed significantly between the era of Benjamin Franklin and 9/11.

If one considers the purpose of a government issuing a license for ___________ (fill in the blank - doctor, lawyer, engineer, LEO, driver, CHL, etc.) it is an attempt by the government to protect society from incompetent or unscrupulous individuals. By no means is this process fool proof, but some would argue that no attempt by the government to vet individuals would lead to anarchy.

On the other side of the fence, would anyone tolerate a requirement for a license to procreate? With the tragedy of child abuse that is all too common, anyone has the right to bear offspring. What about a marriage license?

The evolution (or de-evolution) of society is constantly in flux. Only history will tell.
