There is legislation pending in the U.S. Senate that will force us to permit untrained individuals from other states to carry loaded, hidden handguns in our communities.
This legislation has now been introduced as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill. This amendment, known as the Thune Amendment, would allow the carrying of loaded, concealed firearms outside a person's home state, even by persons legally barred from possessing guns in the state where the carrying occurs.
