Two St. Lawrence County legislators are taking steps they hope will allow St. Lawrence County residents to carry concealed handguns in public, and have been conferring with the National Rifle Association to test a new county law in court.
“We’re taking a lot of different approaches to see what the best course is, what would be the right direction to take,” said Joel LaPierre, a Republican from Fowler who represents the 4th District, and one of two sponsors of a local law that is aimed at easing restrictions placed on handgun permits by St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome Richards.

"The law says 'proper cause' should mean 'any legitimate reason, a circumstance or combinations of circumstances justifying the granting of a privilege.'”
That law is unconstitutional on its face, because open carry is not unrestricted.
If unrestricted open carry is allowed, then a permit to conceal is constitutional. If unrestricted open carry is prohibited, then the concealed carry permit must be "shall issue" to be in constitutional compliance.
One way or the other, the people's right to carry for self-defense must be honored. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
