So requiring a state permission slip to exercise a right is "getting out of the way of residents' freedom" because it no longer costs money?
A right you have to get permission to exercise is not a right. It's a privilege, even if that permission doesn't cost any money to receive.
Shall-issue permits were an improvement on the may-issue permits that dominated the landscape 35 years ago, but things have improved since then. How about recognizing that rights require no permission slip, SD? We've had that in Arizona for a decade now, and by now nearly half the states have gotten on board. Join us! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
