“You won’t get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens… It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers.” — Ronald Reagan
Karianne agrees. Laws that restrict law-abiding citizens from keeping and bearing arms embolden criminals. In the 2017 Utah Legislative Session, Lisonbee sponsored a bill creating a Provisional Concealed Carry Permit for adults aged 18 to 20. Utah was the second state to create a permit enabling these adults to educate themselves and responsibly carry concealed for self-defense.
One study estimates that there have been 2.5 billion defensive gun uses in America. Karianne vigorously supports a legal environment friendly to the 2nd Amendment and believes this is one of the best deterrents to criminal activity.
One of the most important things a Representative can do is work hard to prevent freedom limiting policies from being enacted. Karianne has continually advocated for 2nd Amendment rights in Utah and will continue to do so.
