Larry and I, and everyone at GOA believes in Constitutional Carry, that is, concealed carry without a permit. Obviously we don't need permits to speak or to worship so we shouldn't need a permit to bear arms. I haven't spoken to Larry about this particular subject, this was just brought to my attention by a senior member. I had been following this story out of the corner of my eye but didn't realize that we had made a statement about it. My personal view (and many others at GOA) is that the RKBA is just that, a right. The Second Amendment didn't create that right it just acknowledge it's existence and dedicated that it would be protected, not regulated.
I wasn't aware that Larry had said this, and it seems to me that it was taken out of context. Our goal at GOA is simple, the eradication of every gun law. Our only exception is private property rules, for example, banks and restaurants have the right to ban the carry of weapons. So again, it would seem odd to me that Larry would say that. Does anyone have the source material where he was quoted?
Either way I will ask him about it on Monday. Hope that may clear a few things up.
