This will be emailed to my State Delegates and is admitedly a rushed work in progress. Comments are appreciated!
I'm writing as a concerned citizen. I agree with our State's policy as being Pro-Choice when it comes to abortion, giving a woman the right to choose WHETHER OR NOT one is right for her and her circumstances. I'm utterly dismayed that the State I call home denies its citizens the right to choose WHETHER OR NOT a Concealed Carry Permit for self-defense is right for their circumstances. It instead forces a citizen to prove their need for self-defense. To further show the gross inequity of the current system, the vast majority of permits are issued to those making large cash deposits, working in jobs that expose them to strangers or to state officials. When did "all men are created equal" become so bastardized?
I urge you to research HB2 from the 2008 Session and discuss this with its writer. I implore you to approach this issue with logic and reason and to look at the facts and not the emotion or fear based arguments. Most importantly, if you don't believe that the right to Self-Defense is as unalienable as the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness I'd hope you could explain to me why.
