Your "laws" are not going to stop the criminal element, Speedy. What part of that fundamental truth do you not understand, Speedy? Laws prohibiting murder, have not ended murder, Speedy. Laws forbidding rape, have not ended rape, Speedy. Laws forbidding theft, have not ended theft, Speedy. The current Chicago laws prohibiting guns in Chicago have not ended gun-crimes in Chicago, Speedy.

Would you PLEASE read my posts and the posts of other and make any feeble attempt to understand what this whole thread is about. There is an attempt by the NRA (and the AG of Wyoming) to at the least overturn the CHL requirements in the state of N.J., believing they are too strict. At the most, they want the requirements to have a CHL in order to carry a concealed handgun done away with totally in the U.S. I have absolutely no problem with anyone who deems it necessary to carry a concealed handgun to do so AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A CHL AND HAVE MET MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.
So please STOP talking about how criminals aren't going to be stopped by laws from murdering, raping, and robbing. We all know that. I simply want as much protection as possible from ANYONE carrying a handgun, while knowing full well that criminals are still going to be doing their thing.
