Hmmmm. I thought it was Obama who was coming get your guns.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard vetoed a bill Friday that would have allowed any South Dakota resident 18 and older with a valid state driver's license to carry a concealed handgun without having to obtain a permit…..
….Daugaard said the state's permitting laws are already "fair and reasonable."….
Further proof that Republicans are smart. He didn't limit anything other than wack jobs getting carrying a concealed weapon. Gun owners are generally responsible.
"The current process we have for issuing concealed carry permits is very easy and helps us to identify people who, because of mental health issues or criminal convictions, shouldn't be carrying a concealed weapon or issued a concealed carry permit," Milstead said. "The bill as it was written was going to eliminate that process and have people more or less self regulate whether or not they were qualified to carry."
I disagree with you and agree with SamTM. Let me proceed by letting you know, I am a gun owner. I am "X" military and am extremely accurate with my weapons. If I have to react to a situation with lethal force, I can and will, to someone else's detriment.
Federal law doesn't mean squat. Federal law prohibits marijuana, but small amounts are legal in California. So what do you do, flood California with federal agents and arrest everyone with a joint and send em to the federal lockup?
I feel that a license to carry concealed is the way to go. Yes, it's a hassle, but allows the state to ensure that the people carrying concealed are informed as to the state laws concerning handgun use, and that they are updated when changes are made to state laws.
It also allows the state to ensure that those with a CCP are legally carrying, and not some ex-felon who will use it illegally and get every responsible person criticized for the felon's misdeeds.
guess what, the felon already does not follow the law, hence that is why he is a felon. also what i said is true, you have to be 21 to buy a psitol or the ammo for it, but not to own one.
all ccw permits do, is take firearms out of the hands of the already law abiding citizen.
if you read up on the true intent of the 2nd Amendment, using the same language our founding fathers did, you would realize that regulate in our founding fathers days did not mean for the state to make laws against.
it meant being able to hit a target at a set distance with a set charge and bullet.
ask a gunsmith to regulate your firearm, and he should ask you what distance, charge and bullet.
it is victim disarmanent. take more firearms out of the hands of the law abiding and let the criminal keep breaking those laws.
goverment truly never has wanted to keep criminals from having firearms. after all if criminals were actually prosecuted and imprisoned for the crimes they did, sooner or later there would be no criminals and law enforcement would be out of a job.

criminal convictions? the criminal already does not follow the law, and will disregard the law anyways when it comes to ccw. if a criminal wants to carry concealed, they will do so no matter what the law says about ccw.

So, you're comfortable with a level of gun control which keeps firearms out of the hands of "undesirables?"
Bill was flawed. Federal law prohibits anyone younger then 21 from owning a handgun.
Wrong. Under Federal law the age is "less" than 18 years of age unless that conflicts with state law, i.e., a state that requires someone being 21 or older.

What pisses the left off......is that this GOP GOV, actually looked at the bill, read the bill and decided it was not worth signing......
Well now, that is certainly different than what the left would do or say...because EVERYONE knows the left has to pass a bill to KNOW WHAT IN IT.......
