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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
