Meanwhile, in Montana

[rivergator]

Some interesting bills are being proposed:

Corporations given the right to vote:

. Section 2. Provision for vote by corporate property owner. (1) Subject to subsection (2), if a firm, partnership, company, or corporation owns real property within the municipality, the president, vice president, secretary, or other designee of the entity is eligible to vote in a municipal election as provided in [section 1].

And everyone can carry a gun, permit or not:

It says that anyone who would qualify for a permit under current guidelines could carry concealed without getting a formal permit. People who determine themselves qualified would be exempt from having to actually get a permit.

What? No mandatory public school lessons on the history of famous gays in America? I'm shocked!

[bluelang]

Actually, I like that second law. I think I'd advocate for some kinda website thing where you could check based on driver's license or social security or something to see if you're eligible, and maybe voluntarily ID yourself as a CC firearm owner. There's no reason for law-abiding citizens to go through their BS.

That isn't what it says.

There's only like 37 people in Montana. Who cares what they do in their municipal elections or if they all get to carry guns around?

Supporters said the state needs to ban police from enforcing any future federal assault-weapons ban in the state. They argue it would undermine what would be an unconstitutional infringement on gun rights, if the federal government were to restrict such weapons.

“When it is not constitutional it is our obligation to stand up and call them into question,” said Rep. Krayton Kerns, R-Laurel.

WY going rogue?

[egator1245]

Maybe you're going rogue. Besides we're talking about Montana and not wyoming.

[HALLGATOR]

Hard to tell them apart.

[wygator]

Wyoming eliminated the requirement of a concealed carry permit to carry a concealed weapon last year. Must be a Wyoming resident at least 21 years old and otherwise meet the qualifications for acquire a permit such as not a felon, not been declared mentally incompetent, not ineligible by other federal or state statute.

We call it Constitutional Carry.

[HALLGATOR]

As long as there is a dollar to be made off of it Florida won't be following suit.

[surfn1080]

Omg a state that still follows the original laws set fourth by our founding fathers.... What a shame.

I wonder if you guys ever go back and read what you type. Perhaps in the state of WY they don't have the same psychos like other states do and feel that law fits their state and its residents best. Good for them sticking with the constitution. I wish the federal government wouldn't over reach like it tries to do with almost every aspect of our lives and leave some laws to the states like I don't know..... Healthcare!

[g8orbill]

I believe Montana's economy is running well ahead of our national economy and with a much lower unemployment rate- so whatever they are doing is certainly working

And our firearm homicide rate per 100,000 is about 1/3 of the national average.

I can tell you with certainty that if someone tried to shoot up a movie theater or mall in Wyoming, they would face multiple shooters in return.

Yep. The Canada provinces abutting Montana, Idaho and North Dakota have much more restrictive gun laws. Yet the homicide rates in the three adjoining states are actually lower than the Canadian Provinces.

[corpgator]

The first one is scary.

[JerseyGator01]

Slow news day again with Obama as Prez I see. This wouldn't even make headlines in Jersey, where some wanted to ban ladies night and others wanted to require bicycles to have license plates. I'm just getting warmed up.

Meanwhile, in Washington state, gun grabbing democrats have authoritarian egg on their faces:

“They always say, we’ll never go house to house to take your guns away. But then you see this, and you have to wonder,” says Lance Palmer, a Seattle trial lawyer and self-described liberal.

The Senate Bill 5737 has already been motified as the three Seattle Democrats who proposed the bill plead ignorance.

“I’m a liberal Democrat — I’ve voted for only one Republican in my life,” Palmer said to the Times. “But now I understand why my right-wing opponents worry about having to fight a government takeover.”

He added: “It’s exactly this sort of thing that drives people into the arms of the NRA.”
