"Although expected, the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote to allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons is disappointing."
"Advocating for so-called 'constitutional carry,' ... Derek Dufresne, states, 'The Second Amendment is a right. Legislators shouldn’t require lawful individuals to have to get a government permission slip to act on it.' ..."
"Mr. Dufresne forgets that we live in a society where rights come with responsibilities. I prefer that a local police chief or sheriff approve an application to carry a concealed weapon. This is a safeguard that the concealed-weapon carrier is not a felon, or someone who has repeatedly come to the attention of the police for domestic violence or mental illness." ... |

"I prefer that a local police chief or sheriff approve an application to carry a concealed weapon."
Now, see, Dena, our rights don't depend on anyone's approval.
Not even YOURS. |

| Far better those demanding a dialogue on an inalienable right first acknowledge its supremacy rather than argue for preconditions of its existence. I agree society has a dog in this fight. But we already have the legal/constitutional means at hand to deal with it. Our laws permit legal authority to apprehend those posing possible danger, our courts to adjudicate the degree of danger and impose appropriate sanctions. What else do we need ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
