Concealed carry permits in DC go BOOM as unconstitutional ‘good reason’ mandate is removed

(National Sentinel)Â Self-Defense: Most reasonable people understand that it is entirelyÂ unreasonable for authorities to require persons to come up with a “good reason” why they want to use the best available means — a firearm — to defend themselves.

Not only is it a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, but the desire to protect yourself from harm is also an instinct in the vast majority of people that needs no explanation, validation, or proof.

Yet nearly every major American city is run by Left-wing Democrats who believe that your right to self-defense is a matter forÂ them to decide.

Washington, DC, is one such city. Or it was, at least, until a recent rule change.

TheÂ U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia’s ruling in July 2017 striking down the city’s “good reason” mandate for concealed carry permit applicants has resulted in a massive surge of permit holders.

The Metropolitan Police Department figures show that permit holders climbedÂ 1440 percent in the 2018 calendar year.
