I'm missing something. The 2nd amendment has been quoted as allowing anyone to carry a concealed weapon. Did the requirement to get a permit prohibit anyone to carry a weapon? The new law eliminates the paperwork. In what cases were permits denied?
Mentally impaired? People with prior violent criminal records? Wasn't that a good thing? Is the gun you are allowed to carry now one you own or can you legally carry a friend's/relative's weapon? I would think that permitting was a reasonable way to prohibit non criminals who were dangerous to either themselves or others to not be allowed to carry a weapon. Where is my logic wrong?
