Prince William Co. leaders debate plan for free concealed handgun permits

A plan to offer concealed handgun permits for free in Prince William County, Virginia, has been turned down by county supervisors.

Board Chairman Corey Stewart made the proposal to eliminate the county’s $50 fee.

“We’re charging individuals to practice their rights that were given to them not by government, but by God,” he said during Tuesday’s meeting.

Supervisor Frank Principi said Stewart has it wrong.

“The Second Amendment does not give us a constitutional right to conceal. It’s two different things,” he argued.

Regardless of whether the Constitution gives us a right to conceal, the government has no right to charge us a fee for exercising our right.

Just a proposed perk for ex-cops. They are the only ones getting concealed carry permits in MD.
