taken away if permit holders have been found to abuse alcohol or drugs or are deemed a danger to themselves or others were going to standardize the issue of permits. and that's critival. we're trying to create concrete criteria to say >> that that does. there's that difference between the hunter, the police officer, those who are protecting their own home vosot versus those who are going to inflict harm on others. the proposal also seeks to ban ccw permit holders from carrying weapons in certain spaces, including government buildings, hospitals and amusement parks. it's one thing to protect your your private property, your home, but that's different than taking your gun to disneyland. you don't need your weapon to go. and i'm bo portantino proposal comes after the u.s. supreme court this year struck down a new york law that require people to show a specific need to carry a gun in public. that ruling applied to 8 states with similar laws, including california. but it also allowed those states to come up with new less restrictive gun control measures. still, gun advocacy groups argue
