Panel OKs easing concealed gun rules.
Huzzah! It's about time. Retrictive gun laws are a blight on our state and a pox on our freedom. I was in NC when they changed over from a "may issue" to "shall issue". The Observer's editorial board (bored) was up in arms (pardon the pun) and said it would look like the wild west with every traffic accident ending with gunplay. No such thing happened at all. Rather, the sun still rose and set and people were as before.
The same will happen here. The Chief in the story raises the issue that it will make the job of the policeman harder. He will have to ascertain which gun wielder is the criminal. That may be so. He is, however, overlooking the other sailent fact that guns are more often used to prevent crime than cause it. Burgalars are more afraid of a resident with a gun than the police.
Let's hope this one passes quickly.
