<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As
many of you know, President elect Donald Trump has already made a couple of
promises to us 2<sup>nd</sup> Amendment folks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
The first is support of a nationwide concealed carry permit and the second is
the elimination of ‘gun free’ zones.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This
is certainly music to our ears <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">BUT</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>there are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">many</i></b> challenges to both and it won’t
nearly be as simple as you think.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Let’s
address the first one, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>A Nationwide
Concealed Carry License</u></b><br />
Many of us would like to see a concealed carry license similar to drivers
license where we can drive across the country and not worry about carrying in a
state that doesn’t recognize our permit. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Carrying concealed in a state that
doesn’t recognize our permit would be a felony offense and can be a very
serious crime. Take Maryland for example. T<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">hey are <b>very</b> strict </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I
believe in the protection of our families, ourselves and others’ in our charge
and <b>I completely support a nationwide concealed carry permit!</b><br />
<br />
<b>A problem with standards:</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A LOT </b>of
states have training standards that differ significantly from each other. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Let’s look at the standards for just three states: Nevada, Utah, and Illinois. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><br /><br />
<b>Nevada: </b>Mandated 8-hour training course that includes gun safety, review of
Nevada law, and a scored live fire. <br /><br />
<b>Utah: </b>Mandated gun safety, handgun familiarization, and review of Utah law. No
live fire required and the class can be only 4 hours long.<br /><br /><b>
Illinois: </b>Mandated 16-hour training course, a valid FOID card, live fire
qualification and review of Illinois law.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The
problem will be how to come up with a nationwide standard qualification course
similar to a drivers license. Across the country, all states have developed
driving requirements that closely match each other<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";"> but th<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">at is not the case with concealed carry permits.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It can be done but many
people have already commented that the U.S. Government <b>should not be in charge
of that.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Gun Free

I agree that gun free zones are simply <b>‘killing zones’</b>, (I don't go there!) many educational

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Schools especially have

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In light of recent school shootings, we
are now beginning to see many schools nationwide not only easing up on that
restriction, but allowing their teachers to carry concealed. We don’t hear
about it in the media because they ‘keep it hidden and they keep it quiet’.

on November 23<sup>rd</sup> a directive was issued by the Deputy Secretary of
Defense Robert Work stating base commanders <b>‘may grant permission’ to
department personnel who ask to carry a privately owned firearm “for a personal

Marijuana in Nevada</span></u></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
As of January 1, 2017, It will be legal to possess, grow, and smoke marijuana in
Nevada.<br />
<br />
A problem for concealed carry permit holders just like in other states that
have legalized pot will be if you are caught under the influence of marijuana.<br /><br />
From what I’ve read, ALL states that have legalized pot will take your concealed
carry permit away if they find you have been under the influence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
The reason they will revoke your permit is it’s not legal federally. <br />
<br />
Utah, just like Nevada has medically legal marijuana but in state law, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">they will revoke</b> your permit if they find you have a medical marijuana
card. It is the same here in Nevada. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
I was told by Metro,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> IF</b> they
find out you have a medical marijuana card they <b>will </b>revoke your permit. And that's <b>IF.</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Many
people (myself included) can use marijuana (over the poisonous prescription meds, thank you very much) for pain relief, to reduce seizures,
for anxiety and a host of other ailments. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Many of you know of the medical problems I’ve had including three major
surgeries over two and a half years culminating <span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">in</span> a 15-hour surgery over two
days. I can't tell you in enough words how debilitating that was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
A few years ago, my doctor told me to consider using marijuana for the extreme

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
If you are driving and are under the influence of marijuana and the police detain
and test you, they’ll find out.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
If the police are dispatched to your home even under a defensive situation and

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">There can be a multitude of situations where
