We should have concealed carry laws of handguns and be allowed shotguns or rifles in the home to protect our property and family from intruders.Repeal our current laws surrounding handguns and extend the rights of shotgun and rifle owners beyond sport shooting and pest control.

All guns should require liscencing and criminal background checks.
