Anyone who lives in Rhode Island or knows gun owners in Rhode Island needs to know about Bill Harsch. Non-resident LTC would benefit many of us on this forum. I am in RI on a daily basis as are some others on here. We need to get the word out on him. Here is an e-mail and response from Mr. Harsch.

Subject: Position on 2nd amendment rights.
Dear Mr. Harsch,
My name is Bill Charette I am a current Massachusetts
resident with intent to move to Rhode Island
(Cumberland to be exact) once I get married next year.
I have heard that you are pro 2nd amendment. Can you
verify that this is true? Also, Do you have intentions
of resuming the issue of firearms carry & conceal
permits to both residents and non-residents?
Thank you for your time,
Bill Charette

Dear Mr.Charette,
To answer your question directly: Yes, I am a strong supporter of 2nd Ammendment rights.
As someone who grew up with a familiarity with firearms and as a former military member, I am fully supportive of the right to bear arms.
As I am sure you know, the real problem we face are illegal firearms
flooding our streets. Punishing responsible gun owners, and limiting
our constitutional rights, is not something that I believe addresses the
problems of gun violence.
Further, I am strong supporter in enforcing the laws when it comes to
carry permits. That is, as Attorney General I will direct local police
departments to follow the law and issue carry permits rather than passing the buck to the AG's office where first and final authority has been for the last 2 administrations.
I have been meeting with sportsman's associations throughout the state for the last few weeks, and will continue to do so as the election gears up. Hopefully our paths will cross sometime on the campaign trail.
Please feel free to contact me anytime at this email or at the campaign (401) 490 4489 if you have any other questions you would like ask.
All my best,
Bill Harsch
