[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3617716, member: 35603"] The fact that non-violent offenders can petition to have this right restore doesn't sit well with me either. Also, if that is the argument you want to pitch, then we definitely need to have a certification process before people are allowed to vote. Voting has potentially negative impacts on WAY more people than the hypothetical situation of constitutional carry backfiring. Also, statistically speaking, there is not a single instance where constitutional carry brought about more deaths due to mishandling or negligent discharge by someone constitutionally carrying a firearm without a license. The numbers do not support the concerns. Everyone else in your list is not a U.S. citizen and is not covered by the constitution. The most concerning aspect of these arguments is that people are so eager to restrict rights rather than add programs to provide training to avoid the things they are concerned with. It has a huge HOA type feel to me where one person thinks they are somehow more knowledgeable, responsible, morally sound, etc. and thus should have decision making power over other people. I get it, true liberty is scary because we have to give up some control over others. It introduces more unknowns, what ifs, potential hypothetical scenarios, whatever. In my mind that is what freedom looks like and the responsibility transitions to the individual to navigate accordingly. [/QUOTE]
