Whom are the "They" amigo? The Second Amendment does, and that's good enough for me-- I use mine for recreational shooting and hunting, I have a CCW because for years our State (like others) had the issue thing pased on politics, and now we have the "Shall Issue"- being a Hon. Discharged Vet. and Zilch criminal record--they have to-but I seldom carry the .38 Colt-- And now that some nut-case they released by mistake has snuffed out 4 cops in Tacoma, watch the antis and the Brady Bill bunch goes all ballistic--
