Indiana facing big backlog re concealed carry permits
The concealed carry licensing backlog means delays up to 6 months for those in Indiana who have applied for a concealed carry permit. More evidence that people are realizing that, in general, the police will not be able to protect you. It is always good to see law abiding people (those eligible for permits) exercising their constitutional and natural law rights to have common weapons for defensive purposes. Some people naively think that gun control is going to work to protect them. They foolishly rely solely on the government.

I shared the following quote with David Young's On Second Opinion Blog regarding the Pennsylvania minority's dissent shortly after the state's convention ratified the new constitution.
ReplyDelete"That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence [1787 spelling] of themselves ... and no law shall be passed for disarming the people or any of them, unless for crimes committed, or real danger of public injury from individuals ...". R. Ketcham, ed., The anti-federalist papers.
This statement alone supports the 2A's primary intent of being an individual right verses the progressives' misinformed militia dogma.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I second your recommendation for Young's website. If you want one form of confirmation of the validity of the individual rights approach to the Second Amendment, I strongly recommend Young's book
"The Origins of the Second Amendment." This is a massive collection of documents (letter newspaper editorials and letters to the editor, speeches, convention remarks, etc) from 1787 to 1792 that clearly show that the Second Amendment was intentded to and was understood as, recognizing individual rights under the Second Amendment. These documents fairly well demolish the collective rights and sophisticated rights theories of the Second Amendment. This book took a massive amount of work and we should all be very grateful to David Young for his efforts.
