The Supreme Court noted that carrying a firearm is a civil right, as established in two separate U.S. Supreme Court rulings. People who have had that right revoked because of a past conviction have to go through legal hurdles to get it back. Citizens who have never been convicted of anything should not be subjected to similar processes.
As Senate Bill 116 would ensure, they should be able to carry concealed without having to ask permission from the government first.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
