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.
