...background checked and are guaranteed to be neither a felon nor a domestic abuser...
(italics added)
Guaranteed is a stretch, but I see what you're saying. At the time he CCW was issued, the applicant can't have been
convicted of a felony. But, there are those who were charged with a felony and charges were reduced in settlement negotiations with the DA's and ratified by the court at sentencing. Also, there are a ton (I know, ambiguous, non-verifiable statistic...that happens to be true.
) of DV's that go unreported. Additionally, the boyfriend at issue could have been convicted of charges appurtaining to a minor/juvenile that will most likely be sealed "delinquency" convictions and not actual "criminal" convictions.
Just playing devils advocate.
In any case, I have 4 kids and they will have been properly taught by me and others to be responsible gun owners as well as by the time they are old enough for CCW, including my daugher. Hopefully when the time comes, I can trust them to CCW responsibily and honorably. Hopefully when the time comes, when my daugher is dating (when she is over 30 and out of my house...
...just kidding) she will date guys worthy of her. Of course, these are all just hopes. CCW isn't going to happen until she is 21 and the guys she dates will be about the same age as her - at least they should be at that age
. In other words, who she dates at that age and whether they CCW or not will be her decision, not mine, despite my best efforts to make sure she is safe for ever and ever.
And if by chance she is dating a CCW holder who also happens to be honorable and good, then I hope they get married and live the life I do with my wife.
