[I do agree though that the "may issue" status for some states for CCW permits needs to go. Issuing authorities in those states have created a de facto "will not issue" status. States must at the very least all become "shall issue" imo.



How about going the old Wisconsin method? Open Carry only. I have a problem with being forced to pay for a permission slip for "shall not be infringed".

Paying for extra privileges (concealing) is OK by me, as long as there is a method for everyone to carry without paying.



That'd be fine too, except open carry is a little messy. What happens when it's winter and you put your parka on? Now you're concealing...

Further, there are places that technically allow "open carry" but LEOs take the approach that if you insist on doing so, that they are going to do everything they can to make you change your mind, including wrongfully arresting you, just because they can, over and over and over, until you give up on it lol.

I just deal with it. I've got a goofy "tacti-cool" thigh rig I can use if I have a parka on (pretty rare here).

Plenty of others have had issues with cops. So far, other than one dumbass deputy, I've been lucky (I was threatened and detained, but it ended well at least). But the cop thing is getting better in most areas. Partially because a bunch of private citizens have gotten paid.


Sure, "Constitutional Carry" would be great everywhere. But I'll settle for any method that allows carry without paying for a permission slip. If you want to pay for the convenience of concealing, that's fine too.

Just remember, New York came in DEAD LAST on the Mercatus Freedom Index. I hope this case goes to the supreme court.



Also remember. The Mercatus Freedom Index is meaningless and has very little to do with freedom.

It's fairly rare to see, but yes it's legal in most states. What's the difference between a fat Outposter walking around with a gun stuffed in the front of his belt and a fat policeman with a gun? The Outposter probably practices a lot more.
