Personally I think neither are appropriate. Just because someone might be a loner with no friends, a grouchy a$$ole and people don't like them or perhaps just moved here from Alaska (wherever) and doesn't know anyone shouldn't be a reason to not have a permit or be able to defend themselves. The newspaper thing is just annoying and is entirely pointless. Both require other people to know my private business and the fact that I may carry a firearm as well as have them in the house.
It should simply come down to your background check.
I will agree. Its like give an inch and government will push for a mile. IN many places you need a permit. I doubt that will go away and DE will go to constitutional carry. It would be more likely for Obama to be a patriotic president before DE goes constitutional carry.
Government has that we have to have a permit. It many cases it can be expensive. I think Delaware is really overkill. There is a point about the witness since it does not cost anything, but does someone who just moved here not have a right to self defense?
I agree the paper is "horse crap" Then again as left leaning as the New Journal is it would not surprise me in the least if there is some "kickback" agreement.
Another thing that gets me is the left always talks about the poor, kids need to eat ( ok they do but people who cant feed what they have should not be having more), people need public housing and drug testing public assistance people is wrong. These are the things they say. If they are so into the poor is it reasonable to notice that the average poor person that might have to live in a crap area, but is a good person can't protect themselves because they could not afford what the process would be for a permit. Probably could not afford the gun as well, but for argument say a friend was willing to loan them one ( legally)
