It has never gotten this far before I think.
The local sheriffs get to keep the money from permits for their slush funds, that is why they are so horrified by this bill.
I wonder how much they would actually lose. Are there any statistics from states that have already gone to "constitutional carry" showing how many permit holders keep their permits anyway, for reciprocity purposes or (in some states) to avoid the NICS check when buying a firearm?
Personally, it doesn't matter to me if ALL the states go to permitless carry. As long as the federal gun-free school zones law is on the books, I want a permit from every state I'm likely to be found in with a firearm.
