Enter "496" submit, then click on "Introduced Bill" for Adobe download of this nine page document introduced on the 10th, sent to "judiciary" on the 16th. This is a 4-year, $60 "shall issue permit" for residents. This is a far cry from BOR correct "Vermont-style" as you are well registered with a picture ID copy going even to the DMV. As it is now, CCW is a class I misdemeanor, second offense a class IV felony with an "affirmative defense" clause for "prudent" use, which I believe is untested. |

"...this reaction Ashcroft is getting from people like senators Kennedy and Dianne Feinstein is going to chill speech from conservatives about the Second Amendment... there's going to have to be an article of faith between conservative candidates and their base on these signature issues."

"I am glad to see the owner taken off the hook in the event of a robbery of his property,
but I am a little bothered by the requirement of keeping the arms locked up. I see no use for a
weapon that is not ready and available for use. . .
Joe de Raismes while introducing the ordinance said that the safe storage of assault
rifles was " a reasonable first step".
"A reasonable first step." Huh? Towards what,
Mr. de Raismes? Come right out and say it, man. |

Had a round been chambered it would have discharged. Keep in mind that the lock does nothing to prevent someone from loading and chambering a round, even if the locked gun was indeed unloaded. A clever and curious child could easily insert a magazine and chamber a round, then push on the lock and fire the gun. This device does not make a gun safe, it gives the illusion of safety.
I just did it again, this time significantly tightening the lock; it took some force but it "fired

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
