Chief: Change in gun law has ‘unintended consequence’
I'm sure the people "waving guns around at people" were sure to obey carry laws prior to 2015.
Chief: Change in gun law has ‘unintended consequence’
Let's see the numbers and the sources of those alleged spikes.LEWISTON — The city’s police chief said Monday a change in state law three years ago allowing concealed gun carry without a permit has triggered a spike in reports of gun-related crimes.
1. Nope. 2. What?Some people have turned in AK-47s to police because they had the guns and did not think they should.
Generally, police respond _after_ shootouts.“This is an issue where guns are now what used to be just a traffic accident and maybe some road rage and yelling, we’ve had people waving guns around at people,” O’Malley said. “We’re seeing this huge influx of guns being involved, when in years past there were some steps that we could take prior to it becoming shootouts that we’re having here in Lewiston.”
