Extremist NRA fringers weigh in on Concealed Carry.

The NRA is stepping out from behind the scenes, after bending a few Republican ears I imagine, and posted these insane agenda items that reflect badly on their current management. The NRA is currently filled with extremist lunatics. Here's a sample of their perfectly psycho list of concerns:

(NRA) Position on Potential Hostile Amendments will be considered for candidate grading purposes. Listed Below are many of these expected amendments … should be soundly rejected:

Prohibitions in domestic violence shelters. 

Specific statutory prohibition in the State Capitol: If supporters adopt an amendment to statutorily prohibit carry in the State Capitol, they will appropriately be charged with hypocrisy. There is no reason to treat the Capitol differently than other government buildings. Managers may choose to post buildings. It should be noted that many stats allow licensees to carry into their capitol buildings and there have been no problems with regard to licensees.

Expansion of college and university authority to prohibit on campus grounds: Many campuses, like that of UW-Madison, are sprawling and fragmented in urban jurisdictions. Citizens are hard-pressed to know when they are or are not on campus. A prohibition would be unworkable and would lead to many unintentional violations of the law.


Zero tolerance on the consumption of alcohol while carrying: Citizens passively carrying holstered firearms for self-defense should not be held to a higher standard than those who operate two thousand pound vehicles in the complex environment associated with crowded public roadways.

Allow unlimited law enforcement access to license holder list: Some law enforcement leaders in Wisconsin have previously stated that they will use the list as a starting point to begin investigations of shootings in neighborhoods or treat stops of licensees as felony stops – controlled at gunpoint – and both are completely inappropriate.


Penalty increase for carrying in posted properties: The current penalties associated with disregarding property owner wishes are those for trespass (class B forfeiture with fine up to $1,000). There is no reason to treat this realm differently.


Prohibition on carry in establishments that serve alcoholThere are 42 states that allow concealed firearms to be carried in these establishments. There have been no problems as is evidenced by the fact that no state has attempted to repeal this provision of law.
