Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–September 17, 2013. The Center for American Progress today released a report illustrating how Stand Your Ground laws paired with weak state gun-carry permitting laws allow dangerous individuals to carry concealed, loaded weapons in public with little law enforcement oversight or discretion. The release of the report was planned to coincide with a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for today on Stand Your Ground laws, but the hearing was postponed in light of the horrific Navy Yard mass shooting.
