The so-called mainstream media likes to spin a scary narrative of lawlessness, even of anarchy, when permitless carry (sometimes called constitutional carry) is brought before a state legislature. When the media does this, whether through ignorance or bias, theyre simply ignoring the facts. For example, Vermont, which has long had permitless carry, has also long had one of the lowest violent crime rates in the nation.
States, nevertheless, can still be laboratories of democracyeven with politically incorrect gun laws. That is part of whats going on with permitless carry. As of this writing, states with some legal form of permitless concealed carry include Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Vermont and Wyoming. This, of course, doesnt include the 26 states that broadly recognize the right to carry handguns openly (not concealed) without a permit.

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased,
to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.
Follow the money.
Stay safe FRiend.
You too ...
I’ve seen a little of that with friends gloating about the ATF letters concerning the SIG brace. Guys that had set up a Trust and paid for a stamp to SBR were literally applauding the ATF for stopping people from “skirting” the law. I couldn’t believe it. People can be bought that easily? Pathetic.
1. Check the demographics.
2. You'll see that fact touted on the ABCNNBCBS nightly news...NEVER!
