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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
