This pro-Second Amendment reform legislation sponsored by Senator Mike Green (R-Mayville) would streamline the process for a concealed weapons license, while creating expanded carry zones in previously prohibited places for those who are willing to undergo enhanced training.

To many "local" quirks can happen with Sheriffs, and trying to keep them complying to the law, the intent, and consistency across all of the counties can be extremely painful, let alone less effective.

Excellent point you made, Sir.
