Charleston, SC Mayor: Mike Huckabee Views On Concealed Carry Are ‘Insane,’ ‘Nutty’ and ‘Crazy’

By Fox News Radio, Jun. 24, 2015

Wednesday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with Joseph Riley, who has been the mayor of Charleston, SC for four decades and has been helping the community recover from the devastating shooting in a church that left nine people dead. Mayor Riley discussed with Alan his reaction to the debate over the Confederate flag, his take on gun control and his thoughts on Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s claim that concealed carry permits could have prevented people from being killed:

RILEY: I’m very hopeful that the legislature will take the necessary action to have the Confederate battle flag moved from the flagpole in front of the state Capital to a museum where it should be. I’m confident that’s going to happen. The will is there in the state and this horrible event by this unbelievably hateful and bigoted man I think will be the sad event that will create action at this time. COLMES: Isn’t that the irony that somebody that wanted to start a race war, we’ve now had the result of, kind of an opposite effect taking place. RILEY: He was trying to spread hate, and rather what he did was enhance love.

Concealed Carry Predictions Way Off Target


By Christian Schneider, Apr. 4, 2015, Journal Sentinel

When the Wisconsin Senate gathered in June of 2011 to take up a bill allowing the state's citizens to carry concealed weapons, protesters around the Capitol building were still in a state of high dudgeon. As a result, Republicans were accused of "rushing" through "socially divisive" bills such as concealed carry and voter identification through the legislative process while the state's attention was focused elsewhere.

Indeed, on the very day the Senate met to debate concealed weapons, the state Supreme Court issued an opinion upholding Gov. Scott Walker's union changes. Yet in retrospect, the alleged clandestine nature of concealed carry's passage didn't help the bill's supporters. Instead, it may have aided its opponents a great deal more. Now, four years later, there is scant record of how terrible their hysterical predictions actually turned out.

Concealed Carry Permit Holder Stops Gunman During Mass Shooting

By Are Hawinks, Mar. 30, 2015, Breitbart.com

On March 22 a man who opened fire on children and adults in a Philadelphia barbershop was shot and killed by a citizen with a concealed carry permit.

The armed citizen had been walking by the barbershop when he heard gunshots. He ran inside and shot the gunman.

According NBC Philadelphia, the incident arose after two men got into a fight in the barbershop. An unnamed 40-year-old man fought with another customer then pulled out a gun and started shooting.

Police said the man fired on “customers and barbers,” and some of those customers were children. As the 40-year-old man was firing, the citizen with a concealed permit entered the barbershop and shot the gunman in the chest.

Most Voters Believe Concealed Carry Permits Are Necessary--Survey Says

By Halle Dean, Mar. 28, 2015, DailyTarHeel.com

Gun supporters and gun protesters alike have almost unanimously come together to draw the line on one aspect of the debate — that people need to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

With the help of Everytown for Gun Safety, a left-leaning advocacy movement, Strategies 360 recently released a report that found 88 percent of likely voters oppose concealed carry without a permit.

While usually polarized between the two sides, voters who support concealed carry — 57 percent — and voters who believe it should be illegal — 40 percent — agree there ought to be a permit system before buying a handgun.

“People feel as though they can still support Second Amendment rights, the right to own a gun and even the right to concealed carry,” said Kevin Ingham, vice president of Strategies 360. “They just draw a very clear line between letting anybody carry a concealed weapon legally and making sure that the people who are carrying a concealed weapon have shown that they are responsible gun owners.”

New Bill Supports Concealed Carry On Campus

Daniel Metz, Jan. 27, 2015, Indiana Daily Student

The push to allow the concealed carry of firearms on college campuses is underway in the Indiana General Assembly.

“The biggest reason is because of the vulnerability of college campuses in general,” Vining said. “There’s a very good reason you don’t hear about mass shootings taking place in gun shops or gun shows.”

There are already laws that 
allow for the concealed carry of weapons on college campuses in seven states, including Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin.
