Sheriff Jones Against Idea Of No Training To Carry A Firearm

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones is adamantly against House Bill 147.  The proposal calls for doing away with the state’s current licensing procedure and would allow anyone who is 21 years of age and older to carry a concealed firearm with no training.  “This is an absolute no-brainer to me.  You are talking about a weapon that can and does take the lives of people every single day.  With all the controversy over guns, Representative Wes Retherford now thinks it’s a good idea just to say, “Oh you’re 21? Well here, have a gun and oh, don’t accidently kill yourself or someone else.” This is quite possibly the most absurd idea I have heard in my tenure as Sheriff.”  The Sheriff added that the current conceal carry programs are working.

The Sheriff fully supports the constitution which allows any American Citizen the right to bear arms but all he is asking is that common sense comes into play when dancing around a fire.  “In conjunction with firearms training, State Representative Wes Retherford could use a little training in common sense,” said the Sheriff.
