Another reason to hate Jim and Sarah Brady...

I came across this document today...onon the Brady Campaign to Prevent
Handgun Violence website:

http://www.gunlawsuits.org/pdf/featu...snbusiness.pdf

Starting at the bottom of Page 13 of this document you'll find:

Potentially dangerous persons generally not prohibited from carrying
concealed weapons

Numerous categories of potentially dangerous persons are not barred
under federal law
from obtaining CCW licenses and carrying concealed weapons on business
premises. Such
persons include:

** Indicted felons

** Persons who have pled guilty or "no contest" to felonies, but
who have been placed
on probation and had their adjudication withheld

** Most persons convicted of violent misdemeanors

** Criminals who have not been caught and convicted of their crimes

** Stalkers who have not yet been restrained by a formal court order

** Mentally unstable persons who have not been formally committed or
held mentally
defective by a court

** Parolees

** Alcohol abusers

** CCW licensees while they are drinking

** Persons free on bond or subject to arrest

** Persons whom the sheriff determines have a history of violence

** Adults who have committed violent crimes when they were juveniles
that would bar
them if they had been adults at the time

** Tax and child support payment delinquents;

Under most states' CCW laws, most, if not all, of the potentially
dangerous people in
these categories must be issued a license to carry a concealed weapon.
Certain states have
prohibited individuals in some of these categories from obtaining
concealed weapons licenses, but such prohibitions are by no means
universal among the thirty-one "shall-issue" states, and many
states have added little or nothing to federal restrictions.

Who cares? Gun Control is not a real popular issue in just about every
state except the northeast and some areas of California. The Brady's
just have hoplopiphobia (sp?).
