If it is already the case in Vermont how is this leading instead of following what Vermont has already done?
“If it is already the case in Vermont how is this leading instead of following what Vermont has already done?”
Vermont has always constitutional carry, since it existed, 1791, as I recall. All other states were when the Bill of Rights was ratified. Gradually, infringements on the second amendment started piling up in the States, first in the Slave States to prohibit slaves and free blacks from carrying, then a big rush of southern states after the Civil War, or War between the States, to disarm freed slaves or former confederates, or both; then to protect organized crime in New York and to disarm immigrants as “Progressive” politicians won elections in the NorthEast MidWest, and West, from about 1900 to WWII.
Now the States have started rolling back these infringements, Alaska repealed restrictions on concealed carry in 2003, then Arizona and Wyoming, then Arkansas in 2013. It looks likely that Kansas or Montana will be next, then maybe Maine, all this year. Bills have been pending in about another dozen states. West Virginia’s Governor vetoed one that had overwhelming support; Montana’s Governor Bullock may veto the one that is on his desk.
Texas could eventually come around; they had one of the strongest guarantees to the right to bear arms before the War between the States; their supreme court ruled that even slaves had the right to keep and bear arms! But Texas is hampered by RINOs and lots of leftist media.
