I live in Ohio. The best part about that stat is that the study never would have happened if the largest cities hadn't complained about the open carry law. A couple of cities said that crime was up 5% since the law was passed, so the government ran the numbers across a bunch of big cities. Crime was indeed up in two of the cities by 5% or less, but it was down in all other large cities in the study by 5-18%. Oops! Probably shouldn't have brought it up, city folk. You might have been able to quietly pass local ordinances to make life difficult for us hay seeds..

This is what is baffling. It is perplexing to me that people don't understand why this was done. Anybody who knows anything about the American electorate is aware that if Democrats drop to below 84% of the black vote then things become very difficult for them when it comes to national elections. Once they've drop to around 81 to 80% of the black vote then winning a national election is highly and I mean highly unlikely. Once they drop below to around 78% then they can never win a national election going forward ever again unless the demographics change completely. Kind of like if you imported 8 million new voters out of nowhere once you realize that you were bleeding millions of votes out of every single demographic. This is the reason why the enhanced welfare state was created and why the nuclear black family was destroyed. They must keep them dependent upon the system so they can control their vote. Then they show up every 4 years and start using emotional manipulation in the form of fear regards to racism in order to ensure they do not step out of line. Now everybody wondered Why Donald Trump went from being beloved by Hollywood, beloved by the Democrat Party and the Democrat establishment as a whole and most importantly not only beloved by the black community but idolized by them and then all of a sudden became portrayed as an enemy of them as well as being a white supremacist and a threat. You can get on social media via KZbin and what is now X and previously Twitter and you can go through the media coverage in 2013 and 2014 and very early 2015 in regards to the coverage and treatment of Trump. Donald Trump was often a guest on the view and was absolutely beloved by the women and treated wonderfully. Those women as well as people like Oprah and other prominent celebrities try to push Donald Trump to run for president and told them if he did they would endorse him. This was when they thought he'd run as a Democrat because Donald Trump had primarily been a Democrat not all of his life but much of it. However the divisiveness and radicalization of the left drove him to not only run but run as a Republican. This is the reason why the narrative of Donald Trump was created. The Democrat plantation could not, would not and will not allow their slaves to be taken from them again. Donald Trump was a threat to siphon off a sizable portion of the black vote back over to the Republican Party where it once started but is not owed. This is what all of this comes down to maintaining power for the Democrat Party. However now they have imported a new voting demographic to ensure that they can replace the black vote and create a totalitarian revolution so that their party in one party controls this nation for the foreseeable have century and beyond. Wake up America.

Someone else may have already pointed this out, but Indiana eliminated the fees for carry permits when we enacted Constitutional Carry a couple of years ago. Our beef was with paying the government a fee in order to exercise a Constitutional right, which is ludicrous on its face. However, I've heard the argument that the fee is necessary in order to fund training for citizens who wish to go armed in public. And this, too, is bullshit. I find no training requirements anywhere in the Second Amendment, and any state that requires training is in violation of the Constitution as well. For years, many of us paid the state of Indiana $125 for a lifetime permit, which was unique to any state, or I think $60 or so for a four-year permit. When the issue of Constitutional Carry gained momentum and it was apparent that it might pass, one of our arrogant Republican leaders proposed that all permit fees be waived. It was then that we slapped him back by pointing out that it's ridiculous to charge citizens a dime in order to exercise their right to keep and bear arms in public.

What needs to be understood is that the disarmament advocates are using a two pronged approach. On the regulatory side, they are being careful to forward 'common sense' infringements that _are not supposed to affect 'gun crime'._ This is so more infringements can be 'required', since the last ones obviously didn't go far enough. The second part of the metric is to conflate criminal activity with the tool used; demonizing the firearm, not the person holding it. Thus, lying about statistics helps; and they apply this lever very generously.

We literally have people saying, "Why didn't a good guy with a gun stop this mass shooter?" when the mass shootings happen in gun free zones.

If we're talking about the police, those are literally good guys with guns stopping a bad guy with a gun. So how can we say, "Why didn't someone with a gun stop the shooter?" when it would be illegal for a CCW holder to do that, and the shooter was literally stopped by a good guy with a gun via law enforcement. Of course, the law enforcement usually doesn't show up until several minutes after the shooting starts while a person who is already there in the situation is there instantaneously. We know that deaths and injuries are more dependent on effective counter response rather than what weapon is used, but weapons and law-abiding gun owners take the blame anyway for the actions of deranged lunatics.

What most CCW holders don't know is it is NOT illegal to conceal carry in a posted "gun free" zone. I carry in posted gun free zones all the time.

When I went for my Texas CHL for the first time back in the 90s, we had to watch the NRA's Eddie Eagle gun safety education material This was probably the most innocuous gun safety material you could possibly present, basically directed towards children telling them that if they came across a firearm they should stop, don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult The instructor of the class informed us that the anti-gun side had campaigned aggressively to keep that out of schools It's not a matter of them not believing their rhetoric they know for a fact they are lying

As a trainer in Illinois, you're spot on with the costs... and that doesn't guarantee you a permit. that's to see IF you are allowed a carry permit. Plus you need to pay for and wait for a FOID card, AND pay for a the gun you can legally carry. Between the wait for the FOID, at which point you can buy a firearm, wait for your 72 hour background check, then practice to get competent, then find a carry class, wait for a class to open, take the class, then send away for your carry card. Then you wait up to 3-4 months (depending on whether or not you paid for fingerprints) to get your reply on a carry card. Realistically, you can be looking at a year before you MIGHT be able to carry.

The monetary motivation is one thing (and no politician would ever say no to money)… But I think the real reason for forcing a background check for each firearm being transferred… is to piece together a registry of firearms as best they can, while still claiming that “we don’t register firearms.”

[@timo2571]

WOW! This was very enlightening. I didn't think that the typical background check, which was typically a few dollars, was being exploited by governmental thieves in charging prices like $125 for each item in a single transaction. Obviously I've lived a charmed life and never ventured into situations that were both true blue and too blue - but I repeat myself. You mention the cost on a 5 or 6 hundred dollar gun but think of what it is on a cheap gun. On a Hi Point C9 YCG1 it's more than a 50% effective tax rate! How is this not a violation of the 8th Amendment's admonition to excessive fines or the functional equivalent of a poll tax? I'm thinking we need someone in one of these jurisdictions with excessive fees to file a lawsuit. Count me in. My guess is one of the good gun rights groups will also back and maybe even the NRA if they want to get back in our good graces.

I live in Illinois and have a state issued FOID & CCL. The costs are... $10.00 Firearm Owner ID (FOID) fee paid to IL State Police ... required to be able to buy or possess firearms or ammo in IL. $150.00 CCL fee paid to IL State Police $200.00 for CCL training (typical, costs varies by training vendor). + cost of 30 rounds of ammo for the CCL skills qualification test Note that some training vendors will let you borrow or rent a weapon to use for the CCL skills qualification, in case you don't already have a weapon. So, it's possible to earn an IL CCL without actually owning a firearm. You likely have additional costs for additional ammo, targets, and range time to use to practice BEFORE taking the CCL skills qualification test. Note that the IL CCL skills qualification test is EXTREMELY (shockingly) easy to pass. You shoot 10 rounds each at a range of 5 / 7 / 10 yards (30 rounds total) at a full-sized silhouette target (B-27), and only 70% need to hit ANYWHERE within the silhouette. So, you shouldn't need a lot of practice to pass the skills qualification test. So, the estimate of $400 cited in the video was fairly close. This cost is ON TOP OF the cost of an actual weapon/holster/ammo that you intend to concealed carry, so this CCL total cost can be a barrier for people in low-income situations. Note that IL is a "shall issue" state, where the ISP is required to issue the FOID and CCL permit within a certain period of time UNLESS there is a specific reason not to issue it.

[@sombra6153]

Thanks for bring on Dr. Lott, and for the expertise you also bring to the table. Concealed carry permits, in the absence of 50-state and all US territories’ Constitutional Carry should not cost the permit applicant a dime, including the cost of finger prints and background checks. In most places, the finger prints are collected on electronic scanners pared to the background computers. Taking finger prints the old way with ink is a dying art and I could understand why the departments would want to charge $30 bucks or so. I had my prints scanned at a commercial business for a job I had applied for and the employer had a contract with and I can say that the clerk who scanned them was not a professional and the scanner still captured enough readable prints to determine that I did not have a criminal record. And I’m sure the prospective employer paid more than $30 for a session.
