Comments

Ronald Hintze writes:

The process of obtaining a concealed carry permit is sufficiently rigorous to insure that properly permitted individuals pose not risk to society, and indeed society may benefit from an armed, stable and trained citizen in public areas. This is a well intentioned, but ill informed legislation. Recommend a "no" vote.
