@Paladin4CA, I fail to see how your current comment is either applicable (cited topic was CCDW permits), or helpful.
The applicability of CCWs to stopping antis I discuss below.
My comment is helpful in showing you the error of DECCW.com's passive ways, the belief that an entire state can "fly under the radar" of the antis....
From last July 4th:
http://deccw.com/index.php?topic=3870.msg28526#msg28526In the past, I have considered your illuminations to be useful though not always actionable.
As for "actionable," all I can do is give suggestions and show you examples of what others (in this example, in CA), have done:
http://deccw.com/index.php?topic=3870.msg26981#msg26981As I meet people who are suitable candidates for a DE CCDW permit, I encourage them and facilitate their process (as you have recommended).
(insert thumbs-up smilie)
However, some of those interested in a permit cause me pause
Since I don't regularly read/post here, I can't recall if DE, like CA, has something like our "Good Moral Character" requirement. If you do, I leave it up to the issuing authority to decide. If you don't, since I'm all for ConCarry, I don't let that bother me either.
quality not quantity is the objective.
If you look at the history of CCW reform, three things stand out: (1) NO state has had any significant, much less major, problem with CCWers. (2) NO state has gone from less restrictive issuance of CCWs to more restrictive (e.g., from Shall Issue to May Issue or No Issue, or from May Issue to No Issue). (3) Other than CO (which then reversed course and recalled, IIRC, 2 or 3 key legislators), NO state that passed Shall Issue EVER passed a major gun control bill after that.
While some gunnies may be interested in EBRs, SBRs, supressors, etc., TONS of gunnies and even non-gunnies are interested in getting CCWs. After Shall Issue passes, usually 3-5% of the entire adult population gets a permit. Once newbie gunners have "skin in the game" by getting a permit, they then go to the range and meet others who have other guns, learn more about the 2nd A RKBA, and become defenders all of our 2nd A rights. Self-defense is what motivates them to get a CCW, and from there they start becoming motivated by wanting to protect that and their other RKBAs.
The billionaire antis who fund anti groups (e.g., Bloomberg and Soros), aren't going to go away on their own....
Wish you folks the best!
(FWIW Mississippi is also going to pass ConCarry ("Unrestricted" in the map), this year. Several other states are still debating it.)
