On Zimmy's statement to the court

18. And per schedule HI

I am not paranoid, at all. But if you want to live in a society where everybody is armed, let's stop the pretension, let's pass laws where ALL citizens over 18 are FORCED to carry. That would be an ideal society. For the record one town actually passed a law to this effect a few years back. Some folks moved out of the town. No, they did not force people to carry, but they were told you live here, you need to own a firearm.

I prefer to live in a society, and thankfully I live closer to that ideal, where you do not need to fear people packing that much.

There are SOME CCW permits that are not just justified but needed, and if you have received a bona fide death treat, by all means you quality. But most CCW permits are not even close to that standard. If you have a bona fide and PROVABLE fear for your life... by all means. As in current threat, not possible threat, not playing hero or wanting to either.

If you are an active law enforcement officer, or a retired one, by all means. There are more than just valid reasons.

If you do not meet either of those standards... yup it is ridiculous.

And for the record ONCE I could have qualified for one... as in a real life possible threat... I CHOSE to decline it.
