SF 47 — Amendment to the concealed carry firearms and weapons laws “I have had a lot of questions on that,” Bohling said of SF 47. “It’s really pretty simple.” SF 47 amends Statute 6-8-104 to remove the requirement that a person obtain a permit to carry a concealed deadly weapon. Bohling said nonresidents, convicted felons and others who are not allowed to conceal carry today will still not be allowed to carry a concealed weapon after July 1. In addition, people will still not be allowed to carry concealed weapons in certain places such as bars, schools, churches and government buildings. “You will be subject to all the restrictions and rules that govern people who get a permit,” Bohling said. “What this really was, was for those people who don’t travel a lot outside of the state and felt that it was a burden and an imposition on them to carry a concealed weapon and have to go through that permit process.” Currently, Statute 6-8-104 requires that people prove they can handle a firearm with proficiency in order to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. “What the language of the statute says is ‘demonstrates proficiency with a firearm,’” Bohling said. “It has a long list of things, which includes completing a hunter’s safety course (and) taking an NRA-certified firearms course.” Former law enforcement officers and military veterans can obtain a concealed carry permit if they can prove they receive firearms training. But after July 1, people will no longer be required to complete a firearms training class to conceal carry legally. Bohling said this shouldn’t be a cause for concern, however, since the requirements to show proficiency were not strict in the first place. “It’s, basically, just wanting to ensure that you know which end of the gun to point at the bad guy,” he said. “It’s not nearly as extensive as some folks think.” |

Personally I agree with carrying weapons, as long as they are just guns and not some more destructive.
If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Besides, guns are probably the best crime prevention. |

Of course, you can always support letting untrained people walk around with concealed weapons, that will offset a lot of short nails as far as ragnarok goes...... |

What you really need is a before and after guns chart. Of course if you have guns people are going to die by guns, if you have knives people are going to die by knives, etc. Try to analyze the data beyond what they give you. |

Criminals will (and do) always find ways to get their hands on firearms. Average law-abiding citizens won't if they are illegal. In the case where a country's police force is well-equipped, well trained and well-staffed, the need for every citizen to own a weapon is probably reduced significantly. But in my country for example the police force is none of this. For example, until 2008 the metropolitan police (Polícia de Segurança Pública) carried 30-year-old 7.65mm (.32ACP) Walthers while criminals carried Glocks, Berettas or whatever the hell they wanted. As for training I don't think they're even required to "hit the range" periodically and practice targetting. I'm actually in favour of concealed carry. If criminals don't know who's carrying weapons they'll think twice before attempting a car-jacking or mugging. As for Europe having "moved on", Switzerland remains an example of a civilized and peaceful society that requires its citizens to own assault rifles and also allows carrying weapons with a proper permit. |
