‘Constitutional Carry’ Bullies Scolded

House State Affairs Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, made an unusual statement on the House floor today. He said he and other lawmakers are being harassed by supporters of the “constitutional carry” bill to repeal Idaho’s concealed weapon permit law. “We have arrived at a time in our society when we achieve new highs and extremely low lows. And I, with some trepidation, I stand here today to call out those individuals who are singling out members of this body, including yours truly, for an action for which they have absolutely no understanding. And the new low is, I suppose, that they are publishing mine and some other members of the body’s home phone numbers, where we are not at this time, and harassing our family members”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Question: Do you support/oppose constitutional carry?
