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! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
