I think you might be misunderstanding me. My point is that Opsommer is standing up against any further infringment of our rights, which is commendable. But what I would really like to see is a Rep who would not just settle at that, but would try to get us back to what the Founding Fathers believed was our God given freedom.
A crucial part of that freedom was the right to keep and bear arms. It wasn't the "permitted priviledge to conceal a firearm if you pay us $XXX and pass a BG check". Everyone had the right to arm themselves, pretty much any way they saw fit; concealed, open, handgun, rifle, sword, knife, club, whatever.
Somewhere along the line, it became illegal to conceal a handgun, among other things. If that isn't an infringment, then what is? But then, little by little, states started passing CCW permit laws and, no doubt, touted this as an acceptable comprimise. We the people figured it was better than nothing and accepted it.
This is why I consider CCW permits unconstitutional.
