My gun club is on top of state legislation all the time. According to them - IF he signs it, it will only help those ALREADY a victim of crime acquire a CCW. Some chick with a restraining order against a guy who already has a criminal record might be able to get one. The rest of us lucky fuckers who were never a victim have to wait until we are, then we can get one if we survive the first attack.
ETA: This paragraph right here is why we WILL NEVER have CCW in this state -
The executive branch of government is constrained by state law and court
opinions interpreting justifiable need and cannot simply ignore the other
branches of government and rewrite the standard. However, incremental
improvement of the standard is possible and enforceable if it does not conflict
with existing interpretation.
