“Permitless” Carry Measure Passes Out Of Committee In Alabama.
On Tuesday, the Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee approve Senate Bill 24, sending the measure to the Senate floor for consideration by the full Senate.
SB 24, sponsored by Republican state Sen. Gerald Allen, would enable a law-abiding adult to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense without first obtaining a government-issued permit.
As NRA-ILA has stated, such legislation recognizes an individual’s unconditional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense in the manner he or she chooses. Self-defense situations are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate. Accordingly, a law-abiding adult’s right to defend himself or herself in such situations should not be conditioned by government-mandated time delays and taxes.
Utah Senate Committee Approves Provisional Carry Measure.
The Utah Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice Committee on Wednesday passed a measure creating a provisional concealed-carry license by a 4-1 vote.
HB 198 is sponsored by state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, and would create a provisional concealed-carry license for law-abiding individuals 18 to 20 years old. This important self-defense bill will now go to the Senate floor for consideration.
This provisional license would allow those individuals to lawfully carry a firearm for self-defense. Currently, individuals 18 years of age or older are legally allowed to openly carry an unloaded firearm for self-defense in Utah, and House Bill 198 would provide them the ability to conceal and carry a loaded firearm without being in jeopardy of breaking the law.
When I was younger I had 7 carry permits from different states I had to carry in.
There should be one carry permit accepted in all states. I think they call it reciprocity but I can’t spell that word.
Gun Owners of America was reporting last week that the administration flowed down a potential executive order designating AR 15’s as a “Militia Weapon”. Gun Owners of America says it’s meant to bide time until Trump gets his Supreme Court. If that report is true, it’s a freaken brilliant idea.
“legally allowed to carry an unloaded firearm”
is the first sentence of the second amendment.
The art of concealment is not being
detected or suspected as carrying.
So if you are carrying, and they don’t
know it, are you carrying?
From what I’ve seen of some friends, guns without some safety training isn’t a good idea.
You can put an eye out with that thing.
Right to carry should include some basics?
I agree with T there about training of some sort; I was shown proper respect for fire arms at a young age by family members who have a long tradition of participating in hunting and shooting sports. I’m no professional or sharp shooter but I abide by the simple rules and I’ve seen tacticool types at the range do some idiot things out there. Even something as simple as terminology isn’t standardized anymore (or correct) due to media meddling with the language to push an agenda.
Gun training should be taught in schools. Ends fear of the unknown and makes for good citizens.
The best training is the attitude adjustment you need to get when you really look at the laws in the jurisdiction you’re in. A class or book on when you CAN use a lethal weapon and when you can’t according to local/state law is as important as basic safety, and way more important than how ‘trained’ you are. Gotta hand it to the folks that help with safety and skills, but wait, there’s more!
