The rantings, views and commentary of a right-winged criminal justice student on current events, politics, law, and even life. The goal of this blog is to allow the writer to vent on articles and experiences that make him angry and to open up discussions in a hostile atmosphere. So please sit back and relax as I convert you to the dark side.

Conceal and Carry in Kansas

It appears via The Wichita Eagle that a new conceal and carry permit bill is in the works. I had a speech class last year and for my speech I created a speech with Power Point to support such legislation. I did my utmost best supporting this legislature knowing full well it will come up again. And now it has. I got a lot of great reviews. A lot of people asked several follow-up questions, not a person was against it or said anything negatively. Everyone was really mad when informed of the Washington D.C. and California standard. Where only the priviliged class could get handgun permits. Sen. Diane Feinstein of California herself said she'd ban every gun in America if she could get 51 votes in the Senate. And of course she has a firearms permit, one of the few that California releases to their elite.

Now for statistics.

Since 1990 46 states have signed up for conceal and carry weapons bills. 2 states don't require a permit to carry guns.

During this time not one of any of these states have had to repeal any of their laws do to abhorrent violations, mass scale of abuse, or gun fights out of western movies.

In fact, when such CCW legislation is enacted it shows statistical evidence in annual drops of violant person to person crimes that are evident in the FBI Uniform Crime Report.

In Florida 798,732 people are licensed to carry. Only 146 or .02 percent have been revoked due to firearm violations.

They just don't hand out these permits. The people who obtain them must prove that they are mentally competent, have a clean background, and a certain amount of skill and knowledge of the law to carry a weapon. Having an armed populace creates a trend where the crime rate goes down. In states where there is no conceal and carry crime rates statistically go up annually. If any one of your victims could be armed and kill you would you rop or rape them? The whole public benefites because anyone could possibly carry and it makes all criminals more leary and discourages criminal activities.

In Kansas the Legislature voted in by The People of The State of Kansas have consistently passed a concealed weapons bill. E-mails and regular mails and call-ins have all factored in in congressional voting. Then Gov. Graves in 1997 and current Gov Sebelius of 2004 have both vetoed Constitutional Conceal and Carry Bills that a majority of the people of Kansas committ their legislatures in passing. MRS. Sebelius is not upholding her office or the will of the people by these actions.

Hello Aaron. Glad to see you browsing around here.


Since our last computer crash the information might not be retrievable. But it is possible I still have it and can only see it when I reinstall P.P. I may also have it on our removable storage too. I'll have to look around.
