I sent an e mail to Majority leader Fritzgerald on SB589 and got a response from senator Vinehout. her standard is is it reasonable... Wow what a way to make us second class citizens...is it reasonable..
here is her letter. I'll answer her tomorrow, but your thoughts are appreciated. SB70???
In looking at this type of bill, I would use a “reasonableness” test. What is reasonable for parents and community members to expect with regard to adult behavior permitted on school grounds?
Most parents would want anyone with a weapon in the parking lot to be immediately investigated and the school to be on lock down until the threat had passed. It is reasonable for parents to expect only law enforcement would carry inside the building.
It is also reasonable that parents would be able to store their concealed weapon locked in a vehicle trunk outside school grounds.
Preserving Second Amendment rights are vital. Carrying on school grounds requires an approach that balances Second Amendment rights with what is reasonable for the school community.
I’d be interested in your thoughts on the bill. I have heard mixed opinions about the bill from conceal and carry permit holders.
I don’t expect this bill to pass. The Speaker in the Assembly is opposed to the bill and has said he is not bringing it forward.
Thanks for writing,
Kathleen
