Firearms trainer speaks out against proposed conceal carry bill

( KLFY )– The Louisiana legislature will soon decide if citizens can conceal carry without a permit or training.

This comes after District 1 State Representative Danny McCormick pre-filed the bill he’s been pushing for over five years now. He said the bill is all about protecting the second amendment, the right to bear arms.

“The constitution tells us we get our rights from God. The government is supposed to preserve those rights, and instead, in this case, they’ve taken those rights taken those rights away from us and are selling them back to us in the form of a permit. We’re getting back to what the true founders meant for the constitution to me,” McCormick said.

He said citizens have the right to self-defense. He believes concealed carry, also called constitutional carry, helps people defend themselves and shouldn’t require a permit or training.
