House Bill 1911 by state Rep. James White (R-Hillister) and House Bill 375 by state Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R-Bedford) would make licensure requirements for handguns optional. If either passes, individuals who want to buy, own or handle handguns could do so without ever taking a gun training class or ever proving they know the least thing about handling and firing a handgun.
Carrying a gun on a daily basis is a lifestyle — one that requires skills, discipline, continuous training and a proper mindset. Law enforcement would no longer be able to rely on an individual’s carrying or not carrying a permit to determine if they are otherwise permitted to possess a handgun, greatly hampering law enforcement personnel’s ability to do their jobs. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
