Next, they try their hand at clairvoyance – with predictably dismal results:<\/p>\n

MYTH 5: Concealed carry reciprocity would NOT override existing state and local gun laws governing where people can carry.
\nYou can see this myth in action in this GunsAmerica article that claims: \u201cIt\u2019s important to note that the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 does not tell the states that they have to adopt a certain concealed-carry issuing standard. In other words, the states retain the authority to determine the regulations and process for one to carry in public.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the “bust?”<\/p>\n

The House version of concealed carry reciprocity would override a host of state and local laws that currently prohibit permit holders from carrying guns in places like bars, daycare centers, places of worship, athletic events, and near polling places. These laws allow private property Anowners to prohibit guns on their property, and enable law enforcement to anticipate where they are most and least likely to encounter armed individuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that “anticipation” – how well is that working for “law-enforcement” and crime victims?<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • In Florida and many other states, a concealed handgun license doesn\u2019t authorize the license holder to carry a concealed handgun into a bar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Which was why Omar Matteen had to use a potato peeler to kill 53 at the Pulse nightclub.<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Administrative regulations in Indiana prohibit the carrying of guns in certain casinos and childcare centers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      Regulations the same as the one that protected the kids at Columbine, Red Lake and the Newgate school, didn’t they?<\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • Louisiana prohibits the carrying of concealed handguns in churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship, unless special requirements are met.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        Which is why nobody was killed by guns in Sutherland Springs (a “gun free zone” under Texas law).<\/p>\n

        Again – they know they’re speaking to an audience that doesn’t pay attention; to paraphrase Drew Carey, the facts don’t matter.<\/p>\n

        Part seven is approaching inexorably!<\/p>\n
