A Challenge to the Republican Candidates |
| August 27 |
What is your position on citizens carrying
concealed weapons. Would you cosponsor any of the following:
A house version of S. 707 Concealed Weapons Prohibition Act of 1997.
H. R. 339 National standard for the carrying of certain concealed firearms by
non-residents.
H. R. 2722 Reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms by nonresidents |

A criminal will carry a concealed weapon no
matter what the law states. Law-abiding citizens are treated like criminals when they are
restricted from having the ability to defend themselves. The Second-Amendment grants us a
right, not a privilege, to possess firearms. Private citizens stop crimes over 2 1/2
million times a year with their own weapons. In most cases, they never fire a shot.
I have been the victim of an armed robbery and am more secure today as a concealed carry
permit holder.
I agree with Women Against Gun Control that "Guns are the great equalizer. Guns give
women a fighting chance." Rapes and murders have decreased since the wide spread
implementation of concealed carry permits.
I would vote against a house version of S. 707. I would not disarm citizens.
I would vote against H. R. 339 since it does not allow for "Vermont style"
permits.
I would cosponsor and vote for H. R. 2722 as a rational step in restoring our
second-amendment rights.
I would also endorse those in North Carolina who are attempting to implement "Vermont
style" permits in our state. |
