Legislation that would let people carry concealed guns in Kentucky without first getting a permit cleared another big hurdle in the state legislature Wednesday.
That was despite opposition from the Louisville Metro Police Department and a group of concerned mothers.
Senate Bill 150 swiftly passed in the state Senate recently, putting the Kentucky chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a nationwide organization focused on preventing gun violence, on high alert.
The bill still needs the Kentucky House of Representatives' approval, but on Wednesday the House Judiciary Committee cleared its path to the House floor for a full vote. |

No permit law will stop, nor has stopped, violent criminals from carrying guns. That's just a fact.
So, then, what is the purpose, yea, the need, for a law-abiding taxpayer having a permit to carry?
With a permit law: bad guys will still carry
Without a permit law: bad guys will still carry
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
The issue isn't the guns, it's the people carrying and using them, and making folks who aren't criminals purchase a carry permit not only doesn't solve the problem, it isn't even aimed at the problem. Not really. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
