I think there are good arguments on both sides of Concealed Carry Permits, but how do you come to the conclusion that this is a "basic human right"? If you feel that, please outline what age you think is too young to exercise this "right", conditions where it can be infringed (e.g.: a psychopath in jail), and are there spaces where it can be infringed (e.g.: can a daycare forbid it).
- beervirus 6y agoThe right to self-defense seems pretty fundamental to me. Denying someone the right to use the best self-defense tools available is an infringement of that right. > too young to exercise this "right" Lots of rights are restricted before you reach the age of majority. I'm fine with saying that when you're old enough to vote (or join the armed forces, or drive a car, or whatever) then that's when you're allowed to carry a gun. > conditions where it can be infringed (e.g.: a psychopath in jail) Sure, lots of rights are denied to people in jail. I'm fine with restricting this right similarly, and to people who have been judged (with due process protections) to be insane. > are there spaces where it can be infringed (e.g.: can a daycare forbid it) Although I think such prohibitions are generally a bad idea, I'm fine with people having the ability to enforce them on their own private property. "Your rights end at my doorstep," etc.
