Done.
Dear Ms. Vest,
First off, let me say that as a holder of a concealed carry permit I never walk in anywhere and announce that I am carrying a gun. Concealed, remember? So to be brutally honest I really do not care how this whole thing goes. But as a taxpaying citizen, I would like to ask a question here.
What gives DNREC the right to limit the constitutional rights of citizens here in Delaware? In any fashion? If people do not want to see open carry then THEY should stay home. If my friend wants to openly carry a weapon to protect his wife and 3 little kids while in the parks, that state constitution allows this. If other citizens don't like this then there is a process to be followed in getting the state constitution changed. But until that happens then he, and others, simply have the right to open carry in Delaware.
As I was not there I would like to answer Sherry Marsico's question from the meeting, “Why am I making room for the 5.2 percent of the population who wants to carry a gun into our parks," she said. Because they are your fellow taxpaying citizens and they have rights and freedoms just like you Sherry.
I realize this is a simplistic view of things but I am a simple man. Thank you for listening.
Delaware Constitution
Article I. Bill of Rights
Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.
P.S.
Not to mix politics here but, once they shove the dope down my throat and make it legal in Delaware, then let's see how many out of state potheads are camped out in the parks.
