Lincoln Paper Article

(1/4) > >>

FKSSA:
I see the paper has run a article on the fifth year anniversary of CCP being issued. I am not sure how to take what they are saying, but it sounds to me that they were expecting all kinds of crimes to be thwarted by the individuals who obtained the permits. There was also a part of it that I took to mean they want the list of names to be public as to who has a permit. Just my thought read it for your selves.

NE Bull:
I just finished reading the same article. Sounds to me ( I may be a bit biased in my feelings) that the LPD Chief is once again fishing for an issue. The story of the restraunt patron being too nervous about seeing someone carrying a " partially hidden" firearm and leaving.   How were they to know the individual wasn't some plain clothed LEO, they surely would have felt ok with that.  We all know I appreciate all our LEOs do,  but why is it a badge suddenly makes it ok, yet the average law abiding citizen makes someone 'nervous'?  It is taking an extreme amount of self control to not fire off comments on this article  :-X

Link to article. Judge for yourself.

p.s. Maybe the reason they can't find any data on incidents involving CCW holders is because we are probably the most law abiding citizens in the state?

Yes.  That is also because we generally seem to have much better situational awareness than the average person, and tend to avoid predicaments that would necessitate the use of a concealed weapon.

bkoenig:
The Lincoln Chief of Police is opposed to concealed carry, but can't find any facts to argue against it so he comes up with this story of a lady being "nervous".  Pretty weak.  The political agenda of the LPD leadership continues to disgust me.

Wildgoose:
Pretty obvious that both the Journal and the Chief are hard pressed to deal with the fact that CC has not resulted in the mayham predicted. The nervous restaraunt patron story is silly at best. The only thing that this article reveals to me is that our new police chief is just as biased as the last one and will carry on that sad situation and that the Lincoln Journal is still the liberal rag it has always been. The only facts that are shown are that fewer people have opted to obtain permits than were expected and that those who did have done so responsibly.
