I have no idea how they think this is going to harm the public? Or anyone?
Many states, like AZ and WY and VT already have this. And many states, like mine, dont require anyhing but a background check...just like when buying a firearm...to get a cc permit. What good does the permit do LE? How does it 'capture' someone who shoots someone?
People in WA st find it somewhat handy because since you've passed the bc for the permit, you dont need to wait or pay for another bc when purchasing a gun.
But anyone planning to do harm, or commit a crime, that wants to take a gun with them? Uh...they will
Illegally carrying a firearm charges will be the least of their worries if they get caught. And again, having the cc permit doesnt help 'track' or capture anyone.
