Governor C.L Butch Otter reluctantly signed SB 1389, the permitless "Constitutional carry" bill that was passed by the Idaho legislature.

His office sent the transmittal letter(pdf) to the President of the Senate today, the 25th of March, 2016. Idaho becomes the eighth state to restore permitless or "Constitutional" carry. Vermont never restricted concealed carry from those who were not felons or mentally defective.

Governor Otter stated that he signed the bill with some reluctance, because the bill did not have a training requirement for the carry of firearms.

There has never been a legal requirement for training in order to carry firearms, openly or concealed, in 99% of the State of Idaho for the last hundred years.

But he signed it despite the clause in the 2nd amendment requiring mandatory computer simulated training scenarios. :>) Now, paging NV legislators and gov. sandoval. Prolly not gonna happen. Instead, the anti's will be pushing their ibc initiative heading into Nov.

What are the other eight States?

[SunTzuWu]

Found them.

For decades, there was only Vermont. Alaska went “Constitutional” carry in 2003, Arizona in 2010, Wyoming in 2011, Arkansas in 2014, Kansas and Maine in 2015, and West Virginia and Idaho so far in 2016.

"despite the clause in the 2nd amendment requiring mandatory computer simulated training scenarios.

You crack me up.

Not sure that Otter ever had the balls to do more in opposition than state some vague resistance to this bill. Mind you, I'm not really anti-Otter. I just don't see him being other than a politician and weighing everything based on that unavoidably disgusting reality.

They still have 41 other Happy Hunting Grounds.

There's probably a Muslim version of Humphrey Brogart telling them "We'll always have California".

Since most of the Middle East mohammedans have lived in a rupture-free zone, let’s move them to Kaliph-ornia, and watch the fun when the Earth really does go subduction zone!

Mentally defective huh? Does that include sexually retarded people?

[rktman]

Hmmm. Makes one wonder if someone were to be shot in the head and survive, would that classify one as mentally defective? It seems apparent that some of the mental capacity has been diminished. Or maybe someone just spent too much time on orbit and has lost some of their brain function.
