MT: Flathead County Sheriff sued for denying concealed carry permit

A lawsuit filed in Flathead County brings the discussions surrounding immigration and gun rights together:

A legal, green card-holding, Whitefish woman is preparing to sue Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry after she was denied the right to a concealed carry permit, citing her non-citizen status.

Lenka Knutson was born in Slovakia, but according to legal documents has been living in Montana for more than ten years.

Her attorney, Quentin Rhoades, told MTN News that Montana state law prohibits her from obtaining her concealed carry permit and that federal rules say she may be allowed that right.

'Not the sheriff's fault - he has to obey Montana law.

Montana's legislature needs to address this.

If SYG is to be legitimate, i.e. one has a right to self-defense wherever s/he legally has a right to be (and it IS legitimate), we cannot on the other hand say that an immigrant non-citizen who legally has a right to be here does not have that same right.

That is an inconsistency that must be eliminated to satisfy 14th Amendment "equal protection" provisions in the Constitution. The 14th Amendment guarantees the fundamental rights in the BoR to all "persons" lawfully within the jurisdiction of the U.S., without stipulating that they must be citizens.

The Constitution is what the Constitution is.

Montana, get it done.

> 'Not the sheriff's fault - he has to obey Montana law.

The sheriff takes an oath to the US Constitution and also State Constitution. The sheriff does NOT take an oath to Federal, State or local statute, ordinances and laws. If the Federal, State or local law/statute/ordinance is in conflict with the Constitution then the sheriff needs to follow the Constitution.
