Edit: Constitutional Carry = Bad Idea

Allowing Idahoans to roam around carrying concealed weapons as a right of adulthood is a bad idea. Why would you allow any novice to pack heat? At least requiring someone to get a permit means he will get eight hours of classroom training. Why would you not screen out applicants with a record of mental illness, a domestic violence conviction, a dishonorable military discharge and virtually any felony conviction. At least today, sheriffs conduct background checks. And why would you force cops to fly blind - either at a traffic stop or when encountering a suspect? As of now, they know who has a permit and who does not/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Hey, I don’t like the idea that every elected official in Idaho has the right to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. Some of our politicians scare me more than the Average Joe & Jane on the street. Not only should they rejected this goofy Constitutional Carry bill, legislators should repeal the right that elected officials have now to carry without a permit. Thoughts?
