Concealing guns without permits: Here’s what new law allows - and doesn’t

“Gun rights are very important in this state,” said Taylor, a criminal attorney and partner at the firm of Palmer, Walsh & Taylor. “At first glance many are likely to feel that the Second Amendment has been honored and everyone can carry a gun whenever and wherever he or she wishes. It is more complicated than that. It is not a free for all. There are limitations.”

Those limitations can include interstate travel, court-approved diagnoses of mental illness, and individuals under the age of 21. Criminal history plays a large factor, including convictions for domestic violence, assault and felony level drug use, said Taylor.

The new law has some in law enforcement apprehensive — primarily because residents won’t be required to take training and safety courses.

“Some of the impacts I see are educating the public as to what the new provisions in the law mean – what they can and can’t do – the legal standard in which they are able to defend themselves with a deadly weapon and the impacts of it if they do,” said Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Stu Miller. “There aren’t any training requirements or requirements about ensuring a person hasn’t been adjudicated mentally ill to carry without a permit.”

How many times do we need to hear this tired old song?

But ... at least they are starting to just speculate now instead of "authoritatively" announcing that "blood will run in the streets" then looking really stupid.
