Absolutely every rational and responsible citizen should be able to carry a gun if they feel the need. Nulle, I'm sure you mean the bad eggs in society shouldn't have a gun and are not referring to the regular average citizen

A bill for citizens to carry like the one for Law Enforcement would put handguns in the hands of gang members, outlaw motorcycle gangs and all the rest. No thanks on that one !

Haven't read the bill. Unfortunately it is a fact that gang members already engage in illegal gun possesion. A national CCW that would do something like that would be very poorly written and will never pass into law. When the average joe crosses a state line, he shouldn't have to fear a jail sentence just because he wants to protect himself and/or family.

I don't think we are going to see a mass shooting and misuse of power by Police due to this bill.

I agree. Most officers are good guys and are members of the community like everyone else.
