Thirty-three states have adopted such laws, many of them in the past decade.

Six states--Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin--prohibit carrying concealed weapons.

The remaining states allow concealed weapons, but only after local officials have approved an individual's application. In these states, people have to prove they need to carry a gun.

However the above statement is totally incorrect.

I commend the Chicago Tribune By Tim Jones Tribune national correspondentfor posting a "somewhat" accurate article.

The fact is "Shall issue" permit covers the majority of the states and must be issued if they pass a felony background check.

Two types of Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) exist. Shall Issue and May Issue.

The Shall issue permit states must issue a CCW Permit if the applicatant passes the felony check no questions asked.

The May issue permit states like New York State may be issued after proof of need. Only politicans, people of power get CCW permits.

The majority of states have Shall Issue.

My personal agenda has been to change the CCW (Conceal) language to Citizen Carry.

Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin

And Wisconsin will have a bill introduced before yearend to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons.

That will leave Illinois, Kansas, and Nebraska as the only States where armed robbery will increase.
