If no CCW is the law then yes they would and should enforce it; if you don't like the law get it changed. Which other laws would you want LE to selectively enforce?

Excuse me? Ha ha! Many of us tried to change those laws in THAT state. The law was changed AFTER my late husband died and AFTER I moved out west. I have been active in ALL levels of politics since I was 12 years old and I was active in that state. I lived in that state for over 30 years. It was HIS home state not my home state. I was active in not only gun issues but in many, many other issues in my township, county and on the state level.
"Selectively enforce?"
Big old grin here.
Well, golly, gee... they could try to enforce the Constitution and ALL of the Bill of Rights including the SECOND. That should come FIRST and above ANY other OATH and that is my NOT so humble opinion. You know what they say about opinions, eh? We all have them and we can agree to disagree.
That meant, selectively enforce, for ALL people not just what they did in the past where mere citizenry were SECOND CLASS CITIZENS, serfs, peons, etc. when it came to conceal or open carry - even having a gun NEAR your ammo in your vehicle, a loaded gun in your vehicle, gasp, or a barrel under a certain size for city people. I lived rural so MY HAND GUN barrel lengths were not limited.
They might realize that the good peace officers agreed with the citizens about those gun laws. The RINO Gov. Taft was too busy kissing up to the 'higher ups' in the FOP and in the state highway patrol making deals/promises while he gave the SHAFT to the citizens for that time frame... before I MOVED and retired. He and others of his ILK have blood on their hands too because people could have been saved, even from rape, IF they were allowed to open and conceal carry in certain parts of that state including in their VEHICLES.
Others in this Republic have blood on their hands by denying that God Given Right backed up by the SECOND when it comes to self preservation and protecting their loved ones NO matter WHERE they LIVE.
Now you mentioned... selective enforcement of LAWS... you mean like past and present Presidents, RINOS, DEMS, Congress, alphabet agencies, police departments as in NOLA and elsewhere PICK and CHOOSE what parts of the Constitution that THEY want to abide by, IGNORE or SHRED? Geesh... they do that all of the time on the federal, state, county and city levels but we should IGNORE those broken laws, eh? I do NOT think that we should have to IGNORE the laws that they BREAK and get away with while they ignore the SECOND for all citizens!
I have always obeyed all of the stupid and wrong gun laws along with all other laws in my 57.5 years of life. I have never had a parking ticket, I never caused an accident, I pay my fair share and then some of taxes, etc. Does that mean that I should not speak up and be an activist when things are WRONG? NO. You should do YOUR civic duty along with EVERYONE else if you or they wish to do so. Free will - use it or lose it.
I know that they are wrong and complain. I do my CIVIC DUTY and try to change them. There are others who try to make changes ALL over this nation in gun laws and in other important ISSUES. Been there - done that - ballot issues and tons more. It does NOT always mean that the changes will be made now, does it? They tried anyway! I tried. You may have tried too!
LOOK at the fine print even in CCW laws... like it is ALREADY WRITTEN in the "SECOND" and we have to ask for crumbs from 'the master' for something that is already there all due to a crooked system and crooked leaders who WRITE/PASS crooked GUN LAWS. A person who supports those crooked people by voting for him or her a second time after they already lied or screwed you is just keeping the bad ones in office - R, D, etc. I heard and read that THAT state is really tough on outsiders who CCW. I don't know if that is true or not. I am sure that many states don't honor OTHERS CCW cards/permits... you see that on those CCW law websites - official government ones too.
I think this would be solved if all people who want to pack just open carry EVERYWHERE - where it is 'legal' of course. Ahem. I THINK that is should be LEGAL EVERYWHERE... open, conceal or no carry if one chooses NOT to pack iron.
The first thing that any NEW State GOVERNOR or NEW President should do is dump the over 20,000 gun laws or whatever that figure is now. Abolish some of the alphabet agencies too. I would say more but that would get 'political' in something other than GUN ISSUES and GUN LAWS!
So you would SUPPORT and AGREE with a policeman or military person who would take a GUN NOW if it was a LAW in that STATE or CITY - CCW, OPEN CARRY or NOT if that person did not have a CCW permit?
YOU would support and abide by ANY LAW IN CONFISCATING GUNS if that was another NEW LAW coming down the road? Arrest the gun toting person too?
IF CCW or OPEN CARRY WAS AGAINST THE LAW in YOUR STATE again... even though you won something finally... you would abide by that NEW LAW and support police who would enforce it all over again? Are you one with special rights where you can pack - are you a policeman now?
It is against the LAW now in some states to CCW and OPEN CARRY... it may be more of a LAW if the top 3 stooges get into office and others of their ILK!
So would you support any NEW STATE or FEDERAL administration's laws when it comes to gun ownership and gun carrying? It is the law, you know.
Would YOU support gun confiscation because it was the LAW?
Anyone else want to bite?
So there you go. Have a nice day.
