This discussion is an old one.  The state regulates the carrying of firearms with permits for concealed carry.  Every citizen that applies for this document undergoes a thorough background check.  That background check insures that that citizen has maintained a clean record and guarantees his lawful use of his firearm.  This is legal everywhere accept the executive offices of the government that issues this document.  Which means the executive doesn't trust the citizenry or the process.  If that is the case, we have the wrong people in those offices at this time.  

Isn't it interesting that the people we put in office have such a low opinion of us.
