Conservative Libertarian Outpost

National Concealed Carry? Is this a States Rights Issue or would this be a blessing for Americans that have been overwhelmed by crime in those places where the forces that are anti- freedom and liberty?

Could this also be an Interstate Compact issue? After all, if Gay Marriage is, and other licenses such as Drivers licenses are, then why not the fundamental right of self-defense? Or? Could this just be another example of just how divided these not so United States are these days? Could this be Federalism gone insane? Or could this in reality be something that could be used by haters of liberty to further restrict freedom via unforeseen circumstances? The devils are always in the details, and at least for now I am on the fence about this. My first question would be why any person that has not been adjudicated insane or convicted of a felony needs any sort of permit, or license issued by anyone, anywhere, to exercise an unalienable right.

First, from the Chicken Little’s of the world we have this. The usual list of suspects are prominent, and, if they had their way only the elites, including themselves, would be able to effectively defend themselves from the forces of evil.

Then, we have a more balanced approach here. Examining the issue based upon merits and not simple emotional hyperbole.

Then there is the problem of State Constitutions. Nearly all the States protect gun/ weapon rights. But not all of them, including California. This could go on and on into the never-land of circular argumentation that leads to nowhere, and accomplishes nothing.
