--- Quote from: oldgraygeek on September 26, 2013, 12:08:12 AM ---This is a perfect example of constitutional rights being taken from people who can't afford them.

New York City is the extreme: Howard Stern (my hero!) and Donald Trump (not so much) can get concealed carry permits, but a guy who works two jobs to afford a $2000/month one-bedroom apartment with hot and cold running cockroaches doesn't stand a chance.

Our carry permits probably cost each of us, on average, $500+ for the initial application & training. If you have young kids and work at Home Depot, you can't afford that. A single mom with a restraining order against a violent ex may have the right to get a shall-issue permit in Delaware, but she is unlikely to have the means.

So, the WHA figured, "Hey, if they're poor enough to live in our housing project, f*** them and their rights." Kudos to the DSSA and Bridgeville Gun Club for fighting back.

You just made more sense than anyone who claims to be a liberal. Many liberals ( no offense) talk about the war on women by the gop. Yet they forget how we have men that don't know how to conduct themselves and women need to be able to protect themselves. They want to now make the process harder and more expensive.

I still stand by the News Paper should border on unconstitutional as an invasion of privacy. We should be able to get a permit for under $50. I do understand the aspect of training, but at the same time there are people who can handle a gun that have not taken $150 plus classes ( not putting classes down just saying for argument of a poor person who wants to be able to defend themselves)

I would be curious of PA ( $20 a background check and a smile and you are good to go) has stats available that show if there are problems with permit holders there? I would think there still is not many even with no formal training.

I think between all we go through for permits in Delaware we have more than compromised on the 2A and no more is needed.

Good statement and I agree. I am in favor of firearms training for the owner because a bystander could get hurt because the shooter did not know how to hold, aim and fire the firearm correctly.
Example, when I as in JR High, we had hunter safety course taught in school and had to pass the course to get our hunting license. CCDW responsibilities are much great than hunters.
