Tricky situation...
While I prefer the 'original intentions' approach to Constitutional things...
And I prefer the first to be wide open...
With the second being no compromise!
There are too many nut-cases out there...
Until we get 'the rule of law' back in place (you do the crime, you do the time... NO exceptions)
I kinda like the idea of a state vetting before a carry permit is issued... and if a person does not have a carry permit, they should really not be carrying concealed or open. This does depend on GA remaining a 'shall issue' state... rather than change to a 'may issue' state. IMO as long as GaCarry.org is viable... that change probably will not happen.
Yeah, it is not theoretically Constitutional...
However in practice...
How many folks with a current GWL... have committed a firearms crime???
Yeah... that is a simple answer...
The GWL does one thing... it vets folks...
Which in a society where nut-cases are allowed to roam free...
May not be a bad thing.
Tricky situation...
