West Virginia’s new law allowing concealed carry of firearms without a permit drew a lot of heat during last year’s legislative session, and that has rekindled during the past few weeks. Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, whose veto was overridden by the Legislature, renewed his criticism of the new law after the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old on Charleston’s East End.

This guy was carrying illegally. Why is that a criticism of Constitutional carry?
Are we to believe that he would have obeyed the law and not had a gun if a permit was required for concealed carry?
The stupidity of the anti-gun faction has no bounds. |

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 |
