The state ranks 15th in the country for gun violence, so it shouldn't be surprising that constituents don't like a new law that allows anyone to bring a gun into parks, schools, and bars. Seventy-three percent of voters are opposed to concealed weapons in bars, 69 percent are opposed to weapons on college campuses, and 65 percent are opposed to them in parks.


"Anyone?" Or "anyone with a concealed carry permit," which is a subset of "anyone." Which is those people who have:
1. taken a class on firearm safety and laws
2. passed a test on #1
3. submitted to criminal background check
4. been fingerprinted

I didn't have to be fingerprinted when I got my CCDW.
At least, I don't remember doing it.

I had to be fingerprinted when I worked for L.A. City though, because the job involved possible interaction with kids.

In KY the CCDW permit is not valid in bars or in schools.

I am one of the few former military personnel with no fingerprints on record.

I am not at liberty to discuss why.

I was just assuming he volunteered for some drug experimentation in exchange for not having to go through it.

There may or may not have been a hot (female) Cuban national involved.

Named "Ramon Limon?" You are playing a very dangerous game.

She also had Chinese connections, and her last name was Wong.

If she even really existed.
