Law Enforcement allowed to carry

[Adam Helmer]

Nulle,

You seem to think a national CCW would permit "gang members and outlaw bikers to carry." I agree with Skinny Shooter when he says the gangs and other bad guys already are carrying without a national ccw.

If you read the Federal Firearms Act of 1938 and the 1968 Gun Control Act, you will see that criminals and others are "prohibited persons" and may not possess any firearms. No national ccw would allow bad guys to carry and all BGs who want to carry are doing so this minute.

The next time you go into a gun shop, pick up a BATFE Form 4473 and see the list of "prohibited persons" who will not pass a background check. Many of the folks I arrested in my career were armed and none had a permit to carry because they did not qualify for a permit.
