I agree with some of the statements above. I'm 19 years old in the service and can't even buy a handgun. That's ridiculous, but someone my age can go ahead and buy an asssult rifle and shot gun which are more deadly than a hand gun. I think we should be able to buy a hand gun if you haven't been convicted of any violent crimes and have to be 18 years old.

I agree with the proposal of constitutional carry. It makes it easy for a person to defend there self and family. What many people don't realize is that you still have to meet all the current requirements to this day but there is no fees or papers.
At least 18 years of age, and not been convicted of a crime that can be punishable by law for over one year imprisonment.
The applicant is not addicted to drugs or alcohol.
The applicant has exhibited not to have a propensity for violent behavior.
Those who currently have a valid permit to carry should get a full refund in my opinion.

Brad Hart, I understand your sentiment but the facts are a permit is simply just a tax a permit means little to a police officer if you have a gun there going to do a check on you permit or not.
They will still have permits for those who travel with gun in tow.
Criminals will still carry a gun without a permit anyways.
It's a constitutional right to carry a gun, not only if you have if you pay a fee but a right.
Now I would agree with a small fee of the actual cost of said I.D not a permit like I said is a tax and goes to a general tax fund.
I will never feel like you should be charged a " tax" for a constitutional right.
That's like saying if you pay 125.00 you have a lifetime permit to your freedom of speech.
Just wrong

It really does not matter to me. I fall under L.E.O.S.A. (Retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer). As long as I go thru the class one time a year and qualified with the weapon(S) I will be carrying, I can carry anywhere I want in the lower 48.

I totally disagree wiith this proposal. I have a lifetime concealed carry permit for Indiana and proud of it. I feel everyone who carries should have to go through the background check. If a police officer would ever have to check you out for any purpose and finds a gun on you he may take it the wrong way. By having the permit and informing him you are carrying and showing him the permit relaxes the situation. He knows right then you have not ever been charged with a serious offense. And it saves time from him running a check on you by only using your drivers license or whatever other form you may have on you if we didnt have the permits anymore. And then other states not accepting ours is also bad. Because i travel so much and dont have to worry anymore like in Ohio ,Kentucky, Tennessee , etc. Leave it as is. Thank you.
