So if you want second Amendment Rights, the Governor of South Dakota says we have to prove ourselves innocent first and vetoed the popular HB1248:
Gov. Dennis Daugaard has vetoed a measure that would have allowed South Dakotans to carry concealed handguns without a permit as long as they had a driver's license and otherwise met state standards for carrying guns.
In his veto message to the Legislature, the governor says he supports people's right to carry a concealed handgun under the current law that requires a permit. He says the bill would have made it difficult for law enforcement officers to determine whether people are qualified to carry concealed weapons or are prohibited from doing so because they have criminal records or mental health problems.
The Legislature will consider the governor's veto on Monday. A vetoed bill can become law if two-thirds of the House and Senate vote to override the governor's veto.
And note he made this last minute veto in order to give the citizens less time to put pressure on their legislators. Yes, in a gobal economy based on central planning from the United Nations, we citizens don't get to have guns. And wait to here Daugaard tell pro-gun conservatives to send money so that we can defeat Obama. I say, the governor better tell his wealthy globalist cohorts that he is going to need lots of money next election.
This is the kind of votes that the South Dakota Gun Owners usually expose to the public, and that is why liberal Republicans hate them so much.
We have enough votes in the House to override, but we need to change a couple of these anti-gun Senators (only 3 are Democrats) who voted against this bill on 2/28/2012:
Adelstein; Bradford; Buhl; Gray; Holien; Johnston; Nelson (Tom); Peters; Sutton; Tieszen; Vehle
Fascism is no stranger to the chemical toilet, Steve. Awesome post!

Mr. Sibby, I thought everybody hated the SDGO because of those young Lautenslauger boys and their actions. I, for one, am all for gun ownership and each part of the 2nd amendment.
I am agaist the rudeness those young Lautenslauger boys showed me back in 2009.

South Dakota's concealed carry, carries very little weight with most states on reciprocity.
This bill should pass and the concealed carry should have a class required showing performance so our reciprocity works.
As of now, the SD CC permit means nothing. Honest citizens are the only ones affected by the current carry law and our permit will only get you in trouble in most US states as they don't honor it.

You do realize that the Obama White House has done nothing to restrict the ownership of firearms, right? They have done NOTHING. So why is Obama constantly blamed in these conspiracy theories? What has the Obama administration done to restrict ownership of firearms?

Hale DeMar, a 52-year-old Wilmette resident, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor violations for shooting, in the shoulder and leg, a burglar who broke into his home not once, but twice. Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against DeMar.
In March 2004, the Illinois Senate passed Senate Bill 2165, a law introduced in response to DeMar's case, with provisions designed to assert a right of citizens to protect themselves against home invasions, such that self-defense requirements would be viewed to take precedence over local ordinances against handgun possession. The measure passed the Illinois Senate by a vote of 38-20. Barack Obama was one of the 20 state senators voting against the measure.
Governor Rod Blagojevich vetoed the bill. On Nov. 9, 2004, the Illinois Senate voted 40-18 to override Blagojevich's veto. Again, Obama acted against the bill.
On Nov. 17, the Illinois House voted overwhelmingly, 85-30, to override the governor's veto and Senate Bill 2165 became law.
