I live in Sweden (Europe) and it is with great envy i watch videos like this, where free law-abiding people discuss topics like this. I wish i lived in a country where i have a constitutional right to carry and protect my self. Never give up your rights or let the government infringe up on them.

In Oklahoma we have Constitutional Carry and if you already had a license to carry you can keep it up. I have had a license for years and before that I was in law enforcement. I am now 75 years old and have never had to use my gun in self defense. We had license and open carry before we had Constitutional and until just the last couple of years out crime was very low. However with the border situation as it is we are now getting more criminals crossing the border into Texas and finding their way to Oklahoma. I find it important for every legal citizen to learn to use and carry and be able to protect themself.

I have both in Texas The permit has some added benefits I never thought we would ever get constitutional carry back here. I notice a few folks open carry but it's really rare. Nothing major to report after constitutional carry passed. If you want better protected people it has to become part if the education system. I'm talking educated instruction on firearm safety for kids and guardianship classes for teachers and adults.
For it to be taught in schools, sane people will have to run out the teacher's unions and most of the public school teachers. That would be a Godsend for everyone.
If elected I will push legislation for national constitutional carry. You should never have to be in danger of a felony for driving across state lines. We have a right to bear arms, and that means carry on your person or in a pocket.
We already have "legislation for national constitutional carry". It's in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." A right is something one can do or have WITHOUT permission and without harming another person. EVERY "constitution-carry" law is an infringement in that they are simply legislative PERMISSION to carry without a permit. If you are elected, I suggest you work for the prompt REPEAL of all federal, state, and local laws, rules, policies, judicial decisions, and agencies which are an infringement. ONLY THAT will restore "constitution carry.
Sad thing is I live in Mississippi and we have had constitutional carry for a few years and I got pulled over and had to argue with a deputy that I didn't need a permit I ended up winning the disagreement but I learned quickly that police do not know all the laws
A dear departed friend of mine that was a Vietnam veteran United States Marine and retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective referred to this as "contempt of cop". He said the cop will always be right, even when the cop is wrong the cop is right.
It's amazing that we as citizens are expected to know the law and punished if we violate it. Here in Maryland they go by a "you should have know" mentality with the law. But Police Officers are not expected to know the laws.
I live in the Constitutional Carry state of Iowa. I have had a CCW license and will always have one. Cuts out a lot of BS. Seems in many cases around the US that many CCW holders are hardly questioned by law enforcement when there is a self defense situation. I do realize and agree that carrying is a right, but most people NEED classes! Now that we have Constitutional carry there are some real novice people walking around with guns. They are a danger to themselves and others.
@@kirkmullins455 how would one commit a person who is hiding their intent or mental illness.?.?.? You must live in a remote tiny village to think people in this day an age don't hide their mental illness by coping with all sorts of different things/ activities. Just because someone smiles or looks ok it does not mean they are and as the comment states there are individuals who do not need a gun IF they are not willing to train or at least practice with it. Guns are not the answer for everything, the training is needed if your going to take on the responsibility of holding a instrument that will ultimately end someone's life if the NEED/situation should arrise.
Drivers need classes AND a license ... and that doesn't stop stupid people from driving and KILLING other people with their recklessness ~~ and driving isn't a RIGHT affirmed by the Constitution (not "given" by it).
@@eddyflo2978 i agree with training bu tit should not be upo to the state to mandat it like new york and califonia which make it near impossible to get the permit i am a permit holder in my state but i dont exspect everybody to go ask permission to carry if there not liocked up and not under court oredered metnal health treatment they should be able to own anything that the governemnt has and cayy it anywhere they can legally be ain any manner they see fit period
I'm a Hoosier, I have a lifetime carry permit and we passed constitutional carry this year. The constitution has no state boundary. States should not be allowed to limit my carry as it is a National right. My life is more valuable than an unconstitutional law. With the supreme court ruling in Bruen V NYSRPA should have driven that point home. However it did not. I am a constitutional conservative. I swore an oath to the constitution and I will uphold it. Signed 'WE THE PEOPLE"
If you choose to get an Ohio permit/license it is "good" in 39 other states (according to the US Concealed Carry Assoc) I think it is very important to obtain knowledge about firearms and laws in your state and any other state you are planning on carrying in, oh and don't forget laws regarding Air travel with a firearm.
Constitution carry isn't. Anyone who has read the so-called "constitution-carry" laws knows that they are merely legislative PERMISSION to carry without a permit (Vermont being the only exception). None of the "Constitution-carry" laws meet the Constitution's mandate that the "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" which should be the default. Until there is absolutely NO need for permission of any kind, we do NOT have :Constitution-carry". "Permitless-carry" is a more correct term than "Constitution-carry". That said, one must still have a permit to carry in or around schools (parochial, private, and public) and certain other "gun-free zones. Until we are successful in getting government to remove those restrictions, ya gotta have a permit.
@@johncox2865 Nope. Apparently I demand a bit more of government than you do. Either we hold local, state, and national governments to the full original intent and understanding of the Constitution or we don't. If we don't, government will always find ways to restrict rights, then begrudgingly convert lost rights in to government-granted privileges when we protest (eg, "Constitution" carry). Then, people think that they are on our side when they really aren't.
I don't accept criticism from anyone too chicken to use his/her real name. Nevertheless, as I mentioned in my original post, what most people are calling "constitution carry" is a violation of the clear wording and intent of the Second Amendment. If you read the actual laws in every "constitution-carry" state in the Union (other than Vermont) you will find that they all merely grant a privilege to carry without a permit -- they do NOT default to the Second Amendment. Yeah, it's a win, but not enough. We all must apply pressure to get the sate legislatures and Congress to actually follow the Constitution.
@@BlaineNay I agree that these "Constitutional Cary Laws" are not actually Constitutional BUT, I'm ok with convicted murderers etc. not being allowed to own weapons. There should also be provisions to let them earn their rights back.
Vermont is ranked 5th of safest states with the least violent crime rates in the U.S. . Switzerland to this day,still allows it's citizens to more easily own fully automatic firearms than U.S. citizens, & they are ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. Japan is one of the strictest,anti firearms countries in the world, & it is ranked one of the top safest countries in the world . There are certain variables,which you are not allowed to easily write about in the comment section, for why this is the case.
in missouri if they did that they would be guilty of a criminal act they can only give that info to leo with a signed warrant during the course of an poffical criminal investigsation
Moved to ID from MD, went through the class, but hadn't yet met the residency requirement to get my CCW. By the time I had met that requirement I was about to move and change address, then COVID hit. During the move I was injured and needed surgery. Trying to recover, get settled in, and take care of my family became more important than the CCW and now needing to retake the course. But, with constitutional carry I have been able to legally carry throughout everything.
@@sbreheny Correct. MD has a permit requirement for handgun purchases, magazine capacity restrictions, and a lot more restrictions. All contributing factors to moving to Idaho.
To defend yourself and your loved ones is a God-given right. It was in place before the Constitution was ever put in place by man. But the power-hungry tyrants will never acknowledge that.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Sounds extremely easy to understand even for kids. If someone doesn’t understand what the 2A is saying maybe they need to rethink their “school education” and perhaps they more importantly need to rethink if they’re TRULY an US citizen or not. Thank you.
Another thing to consider: Constitutional Carry does not negate the permit requirement for exemption of Gun Free School Zones. Fed law allow States to allow you to go within a thousand feet of a school *if you have a permit from the State the school is in* and the State allows it. Setting aside the ridiculousness of the law, it's something that needs to be considered if you're going sans permit. IANAL so check your local laws.
I live less than 1000 feet from a school, so when I walk outside I'm technically breaking the law every time I carry. The absolute absurdity of that law is off the charts. Commiefornia even extended that law to include inside ones home, but that's never enforced that I've heard of.
EXACTLY! Also, I think that the way the federal law is worded, reciprocity doesn't count. You need an actual permit from the state where the school is located.
Gun banners do not distinguish between those acting on impulse and those acting with premeditation. The usual countermeasures against "gun crime" target the impulsive. This leaves out the criminals who plan, prepare and then carry out their premeditated crimes.
If we really think about it, the majority of these crimes have to be premeditated, I refuse to believe these people just one day decided to commit an evil act on inpulse
@@ch3cksund3ad Many have sworn to never mention names of mass killers as part of their strategy to deny them any semblance of the fame they crave--and to discourage copycat killers. I briefly heard something about a 1 August 1966 tragedy in Austin, Texas around the time it happened, didn't think much of it because I was going into the fourth grade that fall and didn't really pay attention to national events, but eight years later I read about that killer in Robert Sherrill's anti-gun book, "The Saturday Night Special." Since then, I've learned a lot about that eagle scout and former Marine attending the University of Austin on the GI Bill. He had an active father figure and other than being "court martialed" for illegal gun possession, usury, and gambling--and he got into several fights with his brother Marines. The killer had personal issues and was seeing a psychologist--had confided in his psychologist that he was dreaming about taking over the clock tower on his university campus and having a shoot-out with the police. At the time "diet pills" were regarded as a study aid--plus the man had anger issues. He swung between blaming others and blaming himself. Several books on this incident and this man conflated serial killers (some operated unarmed) with the Texas Tower Sniper. Weeks before his rampage, the killer had visited the clock tower and had signed the register at least one time--possibly more. News is rumor and gossip and myths and lies--used to sell advertising space and to further political agenda. History is based on news. I don't know how much of the stuff I mentioned above was fact, but the Texas Tower Sniper was fodder for Gunga Troll fans, and gave points for those arguing to disband the United States Marine Corps. The killer carefully planned out his revenge against the world and began his murder spree by knifing his wife and then his mother to death--and covering up their disappearances by contrivance. He beat a third woman to death with a blunt object--he could have used his bare hands. The police weren't sure--only that the receptionist had been brutally battered. The entire event had been planned, the killer prepared carefully, and the execution was turned into a major movie starring Kirk Russell. I studied the events and spent three decades working in the security industry and retired from a long military career. The Texas Tower Sniper was one of many case studies I undertook in order to keep others safe. In 1966 much of the country didn't criminalize carrying a concealed and loaded handgun. Now 26 states permit carrying a concealed weapon without a license and the rest meet the requirement of having a permit system in place so that ordinary, law-abiding citizens can get themselves permission to be lawfully armed in public. There are monsters out there, and when you encounter one, you might get eaten--if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I don't see the value of making such a distinction. If we go down that hole we will all be victims of second guessing the moment we fire in self-defense. "Your honor, he clearly premeditated this senseless crime when he decided to prepare to defend himself!"

I'm in Utah, and we have constitutional carry as of a year or two ago. I see having a permit as a benefit still, as it provides me a faster, cheaper background checks at gun stores, and also seems like it would be more legitimate in cases of reciprocity, like you mentioned. I also will keep my permit current in case they ever change their minds, which may not be likely, but would suck.
With the most recent decision of the Supreme Court we no longer need reciprocity. We have a right to bear arms & right to travel among the various states.
I have had a chance to watch this evolve. Arizona has been open carry since statehood it however had no provision for concealed carry. In the 1990's we joined the shall issue movement. Like many states our training requirements operated as a bar for many people and over time the legislature reduced training requirements. In 2008 we adopted Constitutional Carry. We saw no uptick in crime at any point despite claims that our street would run red with blood. I elected to pick up a CCW which required fingerprinting and sending in a copy of my DD214.
@@ftdefiance1 Ehh, I know quite a few 11 Bravos from the USMC, and Army that don't fit that description. Both my wife and I were Enlisted in the USN, and earned ourselves both a pair of E ribbons she was an MC and I was an EMN. I used to live in just off 31st Ave and Union Hills which at the time about as North Phoenix you could get, the only thing you needed was to attend a hunter's safety course if you wanted to put in for a tag if you were younger than 14, I took it at 11, put in for Elk in 6A, and Mule Deer up in the Chino Valley, Paulden area. Actually got drawn for both, Got a Spike Mule Deer, and 5 point Elk my first year out.1q Now living in Washington State, no Constitutional Carry, but we both have our CCPs no questions ask about prior service, or safety. Just had to state a valid reason for "needing" one, self and family defense is a valid reason.

The only time we've ever needed our DD-214 for is getting a VA home loan, and getting our VA medical cards. Edit: manually corrected auto corrections
Here in Alabama constitutional carry was passed this year and will go into effect 1/1/2023 . Although I think that is great and the way it should be I’m gonna keep my ccw license up to date because of traveling. I traveled from Alabama to Montana last year by car and every state I passed through except Nebraska recognized my ccw permit. Heck, saw a billboard sign in South Dakota that said your guns are welcome here.
One of the biggest benefits of going with license to carry is that you learn from the class about what places are off limits so you don't potentially break the law while carrying.
@@kirkmullins455 I wouldn't call it a "simple" reading, otherwise most people would've done it already. Paying someone to teach you for as low as 50 bucks is not "much" money.
I live in KY which is a constitutional state and I have a concealed weapon permit in FL. A benefit of having a CCW permit is no waiting period when purchasing a handgun from an FFL dealer.
"The Constitution does say that the government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - President Ronald Reagan May 6, 1983
Constitutional carry should mean there’s no place you can’t carry in no method that you can’t carry! You do not need a permit to exercise your constitutional rights!!
Something nobody mentions, and much more important than reciprocity, is that no law is set in stone forever. If you have a carry permit, and live in a state that has recently passed constitutional carry, keep your permit, and renew it when the time comes. We are 1 regime change or 1 school shooting away from that constitutional carry law being repealed, and once again everybody's gonna need to get a permit again.
I am from Massachusetts and the state has very strict gun licensure laws and they are currently trying to make them even stricter, to the point where no one except for law enforcement will be able to carry. To the Gun advocate groups, I please ask you to look at Massachusetts Bill HD.4420 and help fight against it. This Bill will be voted upon in the summer of 2023.
Then they need to fund the classes for anyone interested, watch that requirement disappear. Otherwise there are some people that can't afford that fee (that costs more than some tools, and those tools are not too shabby, in so nice its like 8 different crimes in some states), so $100 is $100 too much to require for a RIGHT.
got concealed carry long before constitutional carry was passed in Texas and am very glad i did. there are VERY specific laws that are the carrier's responsibility to know and follow and people here just thought ' i can carry anywhere i want now!' and strapped on a pistol. you still cannot carry concealed in places that prohibit it - whether public or private - and you ABSOLUTELY can get arrested if seen doing so! you have the legal responsibility as a firearm owner to follow the laws - and not make the rest of us look bad.
My state’s an open carry state now but my question is when I carry my pistol I hardly ever tuck my shirts so would that be considered concealed even though my holster is an owb style holster?!?
I have had long time Texas License To Carry holders come to me expressing fear about increased shootings resulting from constitutional carry. Educating everyone that this has not happened in constitutional carry states is an ongoing process.
In most states having a CWL removes the 3 to 5 day wait to receive a firewarm at purchase as lomng as the customer oasses the instant (not alweays fast) background check.
since we seem to be entering an era of truly "common sense" gun laws with constitutional carry I'd like to see private organizations like the NRA, IPSC, USPSA, etc take leadership and start voluntary CCW cdrtifications, that would help with potential defensive use court cases and just give carriers some standard to meet as far as competency. You're welcome to carry no questions or paper involved but some people want their skills recognized.
I am a resident of thee state of Louisiana and the new governor put constitutional carry front and center in day one. They are actually voting today and I am waiting to hear the results on the evening news.
I just came across this and saw that a lot of people seem to think that police officers don't know the law(s) regarding firearms. A professional officer should know the laws of the state that they work in, and nowadays, the city ordinances of the municipalities where they work. I spent almost 40 years as an officer in Colorado where you can open carry, not concealed. You can also transport your firearm in the glovebox or in the trunk of your vehicle (going hunting). some municipalities have ordinances contrary to state law, so you can't even carry openly (Denver to name one). As long as you go through the process of obtaining a concealed carry permit, you should be good to go, in Colorado anyway. The laws and city ordinances are rapidly changing here, but the bottom line is that officers do not know all of the laws on the books verbatim, but they should have a working knowledge of them. Common sense vs book smarts.
Yes, but so far no State has done so. If the law is crafted wisely, it would include a provision that states "in order to repeal this law, it must be proven that 1) the law does not follow the US Constitution 2) the law has resulted in significantly more unlawful encounters by law abiding citizens." I can tell you from research conducted, that once constitutional carry has been implemented, crime goes down and typically stays down. So the tyrant Dims would have to prove that crime has significantly spiked due to constitutional carry, before they could repeal it.
You should all familiarize yourselves about the federal gun free school zone law, and the protection it provides if you have a state issued carry permit
I m waiting for FPP(firearm purchase program) 8 week, they denied without reason, i m never had problems, and i submitted doc for License and they can't follow with the license process while the FPP it's fixed.
It depends on State Laws. I think some states only recognize Constitutional Carry for their residents but I can't swear to it. States change their rules a lot...so.check
Yes, it's legal. There was only 1 Constitutional Carry State that only allowed it for their own residents. That state was Wyoming, but they changed that law to include everyone in 2021. So now all CC states have unlimited reciprocity with everybody visiting the state. But do your own research before visiting another state. Remember the adage, "ignorance of the law is not a defence."
I live in Ohio and we have Constitutional carry as of June 13th 2022 a friend of mine got pulled over by the Toledo police and they are charging him with a felony gun charge The same thing happened in Cleveland Ohio To another guy charging him for felony gun charge So now I'm scared to carry my pistol on me out of fear of being charged with a felony for not having a permit . I guess they're going to try to file a lawsuit against the police. Any advice for me should I still carry or not now that the police are still charging you with a felony a felony for carrying without a permit
I do believe in 2A rights and I understand the desire for constitutional carry however there are some people with no firearm experience that should not do so without getting some kind of training. A friend, family member, or even a range officer, someone.
If your neighbor didn't shoot you before the change in law, he's probably not going to shoot you now. Being concerned about the hypothetical is what created most of the gun laws to begin with. When everyday people start shooting each other on a regular basis because of less governmental restrictions then I'll listen to the arguments of mandatory training. Criminals, dirtbags etc.. are unaffected by constitutional carry. They don't obey laws.
This gets back to the whole responsible citizen "thing". A responsible gun owner understands the basic principles of Gun Safety, and seeks education and training to use the tool effectively and safely. If they do not, they are an idiot, and may just hurt themselves or others, and there are likely legal and financial consequences for most people when this happens. (Unless you are a Hollywood actor, right?) I have seen some idiot range safety officers and range users in my times at the range.
Texas--Constitutional carry. Yes to age 21 in order to carry. If you are not old enough to buy a handgun, you shouldn't be able to carry one. Keep to your shotguns and rifles until then. I had a gun rack in my truck during High School and my .410 shotgun and .22 rifle rode with me everywhere, including school and nobody was shot. When you work on a farm, they are handy to have whenever a snake or coyote shows up.
Police officers in Texas appreciate it if you ever get pulled over, let's say for example going a few miles over the speed limit, to present your LTC permit along with your driver's license. It tells them you are not a criminal, nor have been a bad guy, and gives them some relief. How do I know this? Don't ask.
@@waltergutierrez1395 We had about 6 pages of homework for the first 3 classes and then the prosecuting attorney came in to talk about what you can and can't do in Michigan with your pistol and then last week was a written test and the last chance to qualify with your shooting accuracy. You had to have a 75% to pass the class.
I wish my state (MN) was a constitutional carry state. Unfortunately any and all attempts to change the permitting process get killed right out of the gate, and the state supreme court has upheld, as recently as 2021, the license-to-carry requirement.
Maine has had Constitutional Carry since 2015, done with a Republican governor. Our current Democratic governor has vowed to veto any bill that would alter that.
You should discuss the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 which is a Federal Law which prohibits carrying a loaded gun (concealed or not) within 1,000 feet of school property. It has an exception if you have a permit from the state you are in (where the school in question is located - not necessarily your home state) which permits carry on or near school grounds. If you are exercising Constitutional carry you could still be in violation of federal law without even knowing it by simply passing by a school (many towns have enough schools that the entire downtown area would be within 1,000 feet of some school).
In Georgia we have constitutional carry, from what I've read in the bill, there doesn't seem to be any difference between permit and permitless carry, although a Georgia permit will allow you to bypass the 4473 background check at FFLs Bill is SB-319 in case someone wants to correct me. I'm not a lawyer so I might have missed something.
Recently Georgia confirmed Constitutional carry in the State. The State still maintains a carry permit system (confirming both concealed and open carry of firearms) which somewhat expands the areas permit holding citizens may carry, and the carry permit helps the state honor reciprocity agreements with other states regarding firearms carry (typically concealed, in this case). The prevaricating leftist running for Governor in Georgia keeps running ads claiming that the current Governor of the State of Georgia supported Constitutional carry, and that Constitutional carry eliminates background checks for firearms and allows criminals to carry openly and concealed. Obviously that is false. Criminals, by definition don't obey laws, and are clearly not responsible gun owners. Constitutional carry rather simply confirms that responsible individuals legally able to own a firearm have the right to carry that firearm in public, concealed or openly. The biggest flaw in Georgia with 2A related law is restrictions on 18-20 year old adults. While I understand why they think this is necessary, it is clearly not in alignment with the Text and history of rights in this country to limit a right to a group of adult citizens based on age.
Hopefully that can be changed at a later date, that being said, there is one exception: members of the military, a simple modification to the statute would fix the issue.
What are your thoughts on legal reunifications in the even of having to use the fire arm. Today, just about every self defense case in which a civilian has used the concealed weapon has followed with a lawsuit of that individual. Can these organizations use “constitutional carry” against someone by stating they had no training or where not qualified to carry. Thanks.
That is why I have concealed carry insurance and as soon as possible will be getting my state issued conceal carry permit. Since I live in Idaho, I don't really need the permit since we are a constitutional carry state but along with that permit you have reciprocity to 39 other states. They will recognize your permit. The other reason I will be getting the permit is that to get it you have to take a required training class and I am big on as much training as possible.
People who choose to carry, carry. Those that choose not to carry, don't carry. Constitutional carry, may issue, and shall issue, changes nothing. For instance, I live in a constitutional carry state, and I own firearms, but I don't carry, and don't keep one in the car. I choose not to go there.
MA resident here, you can’t get denied a LTC unless you can’t legally own guns. It’s more so people attend the course and learn what the what is. Guns are not part of our culture up here anymore. We have alot of morons.
Most of the carry states have permittless carry and call it constitutional carry. Tennessee does this. They call it constitutional carry, but you can't carry a long gun.
The only issue I see is that you, in some circumstances need a permit to carry concealed in most states because they don't recognize the reciprocity without a permit. BTW I live in Ohio and we just got constitutional carry.
I’ve been concerned by illegal and unethical behaviors by those who want to use a list , such license to carry, as a way to intimidate them by publishing said list online.

In Oklahoma we have Constitutional Carry and if you already had a license to carry you can keep it up. I have had a license for years and before that I was in law enforcement. I am now 75 years old and have never had to use my gun in self defense. We had license and open carry before we had Constitutional and until just the last couple of years out crime was very low. However with the border situation as it is we are now getting more criminals crossing the border into Texas and finding their way to Oklahoma. I find it important for every legal citizen to learn to use and carry and be able to protect themself.
I have both in Texas
The permit has some added benefits
I never thought we would ever get constitutional carry back here. I notice a few folks open carry but it's really rare. Nothing major to report after constitutional carry passed.
If you want better protected people it has to become part if the education system. I'm talking educated instruction on firearm safety for kids and guardianship classes for teachers and adults.
For it to be taught in schools, sane people will have to run out the teacher's unions and most of the public school teachers.
That would be a Godsend for everyone.
Constitutional carry should legal throughout the USA!
If elected I will push legislation for national constitutional carry. You should never have to be in danger of a felony for driving across state lines. We have a right to bear arms, and that means carry on your person or in a pocket.

It’s one thing to make promises during a campaign and another to actually act while in office!
We already have "legislation for national constitutional carry". It's in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
A right is something one can do or have WITHOUT permission and without harming another person. EVERY "constitution-carry" law is an infringement in that they are simply legislative PERMISSION to carry without a permit.
If you are elected, I suggest you work for the prompt REPEAL of all federal, state, and local laws, rules, policies, judicial decisions, and agencies which are an infringement. ONLY THAT will restore "constitution carry.
No right can be "returned".
It is a right that belongs to the people, and is not given by government.
The Constitution does NOT give you ANY rights! The Constitution forbids government from infringing upon your all ready existing rights…
Sad thing is I live in Mississippi and we have had constitutional carry for a few years and I got pulled over and had to argue with a deputy that I didn't need a permit I ended up winning the disagreement but I learned quickly that police do not know all the laws
A dear departed friend of mine that was a Vietnam veteran United States Marine and retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective referred to this as "contempt of cop". He said the cop will always be right, even when the cop is wrong the cop is right.
If cops knew the law, they'd be lawyers.
@@AKITM good point 👉
It's amazing that we as citizens are expected to know the law and punished if we violate it. Here in Maryland they go by a "you should have know" mentality with the law. But Police Officers are not expected to know the laws.
@@David-for2A Yeah I understand it's rediculous the double standards we are expected to live with and ignore

CC just passed in Nebraska today, 04/19/23.
NJ recently made a lot of law updates so even with a permit you practically will not be able to carry in most of public places (parks, beaches, etc).
Having a permit takes away a prosecutor’s attack of questioning why you had a gun in the first place.
I live in the Constitutional Carry state of Iowa. I have had a CCW license and will always have one. Cuts out a lot of BS. Seems in many cases around the US that many CCW holders are hardly questioned by law enforcement when there is a self defense situation. I do realize and agree that carrying is a right, but most people NEED classes! Now that we have Constitutional carry there are some real novice people walking around with guns. They are a danger to themselves and others.
I am 1000% with you! If you want to carry MAKE the time to learn how and when to use that weapon!
You are wrong. If they are a danger to themselves and others they would be committed & not be able to have firearms.
@@kirkmullins455 how would one commit a person who is hiding their intent or mental illness.?.?.? You must live in a remote tiny village to think people in this day an age don't hide their mental illness by coping with all sorts of different things/ activities. Just because someone smiles or looks ok it does not mean they are and as the comment states there are individuals who do not need a gun IF they are not willing to train or at least practice with it. Guns are not the answer for everything, the training is needed if your going to take on the responsibility of holding a instrument that will ultimately end someone's life if the NEED/situation should arrise.
Drivers need classes AND a license ... and that doesn't stop stupid people from driving and KILLING other people with their recklessness ~~ and driving isn't a RIGHT affirmed by the Constitution (not "given" by it).

HERO Eli Dicken proves the validity of constitutional carry!!!
Here in Vermont. Been carrying since my 18th birthday and I'm 46 now. Never been a problem.
I wish to move there some day... NJ sucks!
I'm a Hoosier, I have a lifetime carry permit and we passed constitutional carry this year. The constitution has no state boundary. States should not be allowed to limit my carry as it is a National right. My life is more valuable than an unconstitutional law. With the supreme court ruling in Bruen V NYSRPA should have driven that point home. However it did not. I am a constitutional conservative. I swore an oath to the constitution and I will uphold it. Signed 'WE THE PEOPLE"
If you choose to get an Ohio permit/license it is "good" in 39 other states (according to the US Concealed Carry Assoc)
I think it is very important to obtain knowledge about firearms and laws in your state and any other state you are planning on carrying in, oh and don't forget laws regarding Air travel with a firearm.
Constitution carry isn't. Anyone who has read the so-called "constitution-carry" laws knows that they are merely legislative PERMISSION to carry without a permit (Vermont being the only exception). None of the "Constitution-carry" laws meet the Constitution's mandate that the "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" which should be the default. Until there is absolutely NO need for permission of any kind, we do NOT have :Constitution-carry". "Permitless-carry" is a more correct term than "Constitution-carry".
That said, one must still have a permit to carry in or around schools (parochial, private, and public) and certain other "gun-free zones. Until we are successful in getting government to remove those restrictions, ya gotta have a permit.
Splitting hairs today?
@@johncox2865 Nope. Apparently I demand a bit more of government than you do.
Either we hold local, state, and national governments to the full original intent and understanding of the Constitution or we don't. If we don't, government will always find ways to restrict rights, then begrudgingly convert lost rights in to government-granted privileges when we protest (eg, "Constitution" carry). Then, people think that they are on our side when they really aren't.
Here's a guy who can't accept a win.
I don't accept criticism from anyone too chicken to use his/her real name.
Nevertheless, as I mentioned in my original post, what most people are calling "constitution carry" is a violation of the clear wording and intent of the Second Amendment. If you read the actual laws in every "constitution-carry" state in the Union (other than Vermont) you will find that they all merely grant a privilege to carry without a permit -- they do NOT default to the Second Amendment. Yeah, it's a win, but not enough. We all must apply pressure to get the sate legislatures and Congress to actually follow the Constitution.
@@BlaineNay I agree that these "Constitutional Cary Laws" are not actually Constitutional BUT, I'm ok with convicted murderers etc. not being allowed to own weapons. There should also be provisions to let them earn their rights back.
Vermont is ranked 5th of safest states with the least violent crime rates in the U.S. . Switzerland to this day,still allows it's citizens to more easily own fully automatic firearms than U.S. citizens, & they are ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. Japan is one of the strictest,anti firearms countries in the world, & it is ranked one of the top safest countries in the world . There are certain variables,which you are not allowed to easily write about in the comment section, for why this is the case.

With the advent of constitutional carry, I'd like to see more PSA on the radio and ads regarding firearms safety and laws.
We no need no stinking permits! Constitutional carry, should be the law of the land, PERIOD!
yesterday in my state "california", they released a list of those who have a concealed carry permit to the public.
in missouri if they did that they would be guilty of a criminal act they can only give that info to leo with a signed warrant during the course of an poffical criminal investigsation
Moved to ID from MD, went through the class, but hadn't yet met the residency requirement to get my CCW. By the time I had met that requirement I was about to move and change address, then COVID hit. During the move I was injured and needed surgery. Trying to recover, get settled in, and take care of my family became more important than the CCW and now needing to retake the course. But, with constitutional carry I have been able to legally carry throughout everything.
I don't think MD has Constitutional carry.
@@sbreheny Correct. MD has a permit requirement for handgun purchases, magazine capacity restrictions, and a lot more restrictions. All contributing factors to moving to Idaho.
To defend yourself and your loved ones is a God-given right. It was in place before the Constitution was ever put in place by man. But the power-hungry tyrants will never acknowledge that.
So true. But, you would have exercised this God-given right anyway, wouldn't you? I, for one, will take CC without complaint.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Sounds extremely easy to understand even for kids. If someone doesn’t understand what the 2A is saying maybe they need to rethink their
“school education” and perhaps they more importantly need to rethink if they’re TRULY an US citizen or not. Thank you.
Another thing to consider: Constitutional Carry does not negate the permit requirement for exemption of Gun Free School Zones. Fed law allow States to allow you to go within a thousand feet of a school *if you have a permit from the State the school is in* and the State allows it. Setting aside the ridiculousness of the law, it's something that needs to be considered if you're going sans permit. IANAL so check your local laws.
I live less than 1000 feet from a school, so when I walk outside I'm technically breaking the law every time I carry. The absolute absurdity of that law is off the charts. Commiefornia even extended that law to include inside ones home, but that's never enforced that I've heard of.
The state I lived in allowed citizens to carry on school property if you stayed in your car so if you were driving your child to school.
@@onenikkione That doesn't undo the federal law, though.
EXACTLY! Also, I think that the way the federal law is worded, reciprocity doesn't count. You need an actual permit from the state where the school is located.
We've had constitutional carry for years in Maine. And I'm happy to see more states adopting it. It is a right not a privilage.
Gun banners do not distinguish between those acting on impulse and those acting with premeditation. The usual countermeasures against "gun crime" target the impulsive. This leaves out the criminals who plan, prepare and then carry out their premeditated crimes.
If we really think about it, the majority of these crimes have to be premeditated, I refuse to believe these people just one day decided to commit an evil act on inpulse
@@ch3cksund3ad Many have sworn to never mention names of mass killers as part of their strategy to deny them any semblance of the fame they crave--and to discourage copycat killers. I briefly heard something about a 1 August 1966 tragedy in Austin, Texas around the time it happened, didn't think much of it because I was going into the fourth grade that fall and didn't really pay attention to national events, but eight years later I read about that killer in Robert Sherrill's anti-gun book, "The Saturday Night Special." Since then, I've learned a lot about that eagle scout and former Marine attending the University of Austin on the GI Bill. He had an active father figure and other than being "court martialed" for illegal gun possession, usury, and gambling--and he got into several fights with his brother Marines. The killer had personal issues and was seeing a psychologist--had confided in his psychologist that he was dreaming about taking over the clock tower on his university campus and having a shoot-out with the police. At the time "diet pills" were regarded as a study aid--plus the man had anger issues. He swung between blaming others and blaming himself. Several books on this incident and this man conflated serial killers (some operated unarmed) with the Texas Tower Sniper. Weeks before his rampage, the killer had visited the clock tower and had signed the register at least one time--possibly more.
News is rumor and gossip and myths and lies--used to sell advertising space and to further political agenda. History is based on news. I don't know how much of the stuff I mentioned above was fact, but the Texas Tower Sniper was fodder for Gunga Troll fans, and gave points for those arguing to disband the United States Marine Corps. The killer carefully planned out his revenge against the world and began his murder spree by knifing his wife and then his mother to death--and covering up their disappearances by contrivance. He beat a third woman to death with a blunt object--he could have used his bare hands. The police weren't sure--only that the receptionist had been brutally battered. The entire event had been planned, the killer prepared carefully, and the execution was turned into a major movie starring Kirk Russell.
I studied the events and spent three decades working in the security industry and retired from a long military career. The Texas Tower Sniper was one of many case studies I undertook in order to keep others safe. In 1966 much of the country didn't criminalize carrying a concealed and loaded handgun. Now 26 states permit carrying a concealed weapon without a license and the rest meet the requirement of having a permit system in place so that ordinary, law-abiding citizens can get themselves permission to be lawfully armed in public. There are monsters out there, and when you encounter one, you might get eaten--if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Well said.
I don't see the value of making such a distinction. If we go down that hole we will all be victims of second guessing the moment we fire in self-defense. "Your honor, he clearly premeditated this senseless crime when he decided to prepare to defend himself!"

I'm in Utah, and we have constitutional carry as of a year or two ago. I see having a permit as a benefit still, as it provides me a faster, cheaper background checks at gun stores, and also seems like it would be more legitimate in cases of reciprocity, like you mentioned. I also will keep my permit current in case they ever change their minds, which may not be likely, but would suck.
With the most recent decision of the Supreme Court we no longer need reciprocity. We have a right to bear arms & right to travel among the various states.

I have had a chance to watch this evolve. Arizona has been open carry since statehood it however had no provision for concealed carry. In the 1990's we joined the shall issue movement. Like many states our training requirements operated as a bar for many people and over time the legislature reduced training requirements. In 2008 we adopted Constitutional Carry. We saw no uptick in crime at any point despite claims that our street would run red with blood.
I elected to pick up a CCW which required fingerprinting and sending in a copy of my DD214.

Here in Alabama constitutional carry was passed this year and will go into effect 1/1/2023 . Although I think that is great and the way it should be I’m gonna keep my ccw license up to date because of traveling. I traveled from Alabama to Montana last year by car and every state I passed through except Nebraska recognized my ccw permit. Heck, saw a billboard sign in South Dakota that said your guns are welcome here.
One of the biggest benefits of going with license to carry is that you learn from the class about what places are off limits so you don't potentially break the law while carrying.
A simple reading of the codes is much cheaper.
@@kirkmullins455 I wouldn't call it a "simple" reading, otherwise most people would've done it already. Paying someone to teach you for as low as 50 bucks is not "much" money.
Great information! Thanks!
Brownells is the go to place for your Built & parts!
Any person who is against their right to keep and bear arms should first imagine what it might be like after giving up that right.
I live in KY which is a constitutional state and I have a concealed weapon permit in FL. A benefit of having a CCW permit is no waiting period when purchasing a handgun from an FFL dealer.
"The Constitution does say that the government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - President Ronald Reagan May 6, 1983
Constitutional carry should mean there’s no place you can’t carry in no method that you can’t carry! You do not need a permit to exercise your constitutional rights!!
Ohio just changed laws 2 months ago to Constitutional carry so I went and bought my first carry firearm.
Thank you for bringing this to light Brownells!!
Gotta loose the black rifle coffee company Tee though. They are not patriots
Something nobody mentions, and much more important than reciprocity, is that no law is set in stone forever. If you have a carry permit, and live in a state that has recently passed constitutional carry, keep your permit, and renew it when the time comes. We are 1 regime change or 1 school shooting away from that constitutional carry law being repealed, and once again everybody's gonna need to get a permit again.
I am from Massachusetts and the state has very strict gun licensure laws and they are currently trying to make them even stricter, to the point where no one except for law enforcement will be able to carry. To the Gun advocate groups, I please ask you to look at Massachusetts Bill HD.4420 and help fight against it. This Bill will be voted upon in the summer of 2023.
In SC we have permit open and cocealed carry. Did away with the fee for the permit but still costs a 100 or more to take the class
Then they need to fund the classes for anyone interested, watch that requirement disappear. Otherwise there are some people that can't afford that fee (that costs more than some tools, and those tools are not too shabby, in so nice its like 8 different crimes in some states), so $100 is $100 too much to require for a RIGHT.

got concealed carry long before constitutional carry was passed in Texas and am very glad i did. there are VERY specific laws that are the carrier's responsibility to know and follow and people here just thought ' i can carry anywhere i want now!' and strapped on a pistol. you still cannot carry concealed in places that prohibit it - whether public or private - and you ABSOLUTELY can get arrested if seen doing so!
you have the legal responsibility as a firearm owner to follow the laws - and not make the rest of us look bad.
My state’s an open carry state now but my question is when I carry my pistol I hardly ever tuck my shirts so would that be considered concealed even though my holster is an owb style holster?!?
I have had long time Texas License To Carry holders come to me expressing fear about increased shootings resulting from constitutional carry. Educating everyone that this has not happened in constitutional carry states is an ongoing process.
I am simply not going to pay the exercise a right
In most states having a CWL removes the 3 to 5 day wait to receive a firewarm at purchase as lomng as the customer oasses the instant (not alweays fast) background check.
since we seem to be entering an era of truly "common sense" gun laws with constitutional carry I'd like to see private organizations like the NRA, IPSC, USPSA, etc take leadership and start voluntary CCW cdrtifications, that would help with potential defensive use court cases and just give carriers some standard to meet as far as competency. You're welcome to carry no questions or paper involved but some people want their skills recognized.

Asking to use a right vs just using your right
THANKS
I just came across this and saw that a lot of people seem to think that police officers don't know the law(s) regarding firearms. A professional officer should know the laws of the state that they work in, and nowadays, the city ordinances of the municipalities where they work. I spent almost 40 years as an officer in Colorado where you can open carry, not concealed. You can also transport your firearm in the glovebox or in the trunk of your vehicle (going hunting). some municipalities have ordinances contrary to state law, so you can't even carry openly (Denver to name one). As long as you go through the process of obtaining a concealed carry permit, you should be good to go, in Colorado anyway. The laws and city ordinances are rapidly changing here, but the bottom line is that officers do not know all of the laws on the books verbatim, but they should have a working knowledge of them. Common sense vs book smarts.
Side Note: Everyone deserves to know that if you zero your iron sights through an optic, the zero will change if you remove the optic.
If you live in a Constitutional carry state, can’t the next administration reverse this decision?
Yes, but so far no State has done so. If the law is crafted wisely, it would include a provision that states "in order to repeal this law, it must be proven that 1) the law does not follow the US Constitution 2) the law has resulted in significantly more unlawful encounters by law abiding citizens."
I can tell you from research conducted, that once constitutional carry has been implemented, crime goes down and typically stays down. So the tyrant Dims would have to prove that crime has significantly spiked due to constitutional carry, before they could repeal it.
Only if they have the support of the legislature
You should all familiarize yourselves about the federal gun free school zone law, and the protection it provides if you have a state issued carry permit

Carry, without a license, is that legal?
It depends on State Laws. I think some states only recognize Constitutional Carry for their residents but I can't swear to it.
States change their rules a lot...so.check
Yes, it's legal. There was only 1 Constitutional Carry State that only allowed it for their own residents. That state was Wyoming, but they changed that law to include everyone in 2021. So now all CC states have unlimited reciprocity with everybody visiting the state.
But do your own research before visiting another state. Remember the adage, "ignorance of the law is not a defence."
Thanks for the replys. I will take your suggestions and do some research.

I do believe in 2A rights and I understand the desire for constitutional carry however there are some people with no firearm experience that should not do so without getting some kind of training. A friend, family member, or even a range officer, someone.
If your neighbor didn't shoot you before the change in law, he's probably not going to shoot you now. Being concerned about the hypothetical is what created most of the gun laws to begin with. When everyday people start shooting each other on a regular basis because of less governmental restrictions then I'll listen to the arguments of mandatory training. Criminals, dirtbags etc.. are unaffected by constitutional carry. They don't obey laws.
This gets back to the whole responsible citizen "thing". A responsible gun owner understands the basic principles of Gun Safety, and seeks education and training to use the tool effectively and safely. If they do not, they are an idiot, and may just hurt themselves or others, and there are likely legal and financial consequences for most people when this happens. (Unless you are a Hollywood actor, right?) I have seen some idiot range safety officers and range users in my times at the range.
Texas--Constitutional carry. Yes to age 21 in order to carry. If you are not old enough to buy a handgun, you shouldn't be able to carry one. Keep to your shotguns and rifles until then. I had a gun rack in my truck during High School and my .410 shotgun and .22 rifle rode with me everywhere, including school and nobody was shot. When you work on a farm, they are handy to have whenever a snake or coyote shows up.
Police officers in Texas appreciate it if you ever get pulled over, let's say for example going a few miles over the speed limit, to present your LTC permit along with your driver's license. It tells them you are not a criminal, nor have been a bad guy, and gives them some relief. How do I know this? Don't ask.

You had to have a 75% to pass the class.
All it means there’s no longer an unconstitutional license that needs to be obtained in order to exercise your constitutionally protected civi rights.
I wish my state (MN) was a constitutional carry state. Unfortunately any and all attempts to change the permitting process get killed right out of the gate, and the state supreme court has upheld, as recently as 2021, the license-to-carry requirement.
The ONLY ones that object are the enemy
Maine has had Constitutional Carry since 2015, done with a Republican governor. Our current Democratic governor has vowed to veto any bill that would alter that.
You should discuss the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 which is a Federal Law which prohibits carrying a loaded gun (concealed or not) within 1,000 feet of school property. It has an exception if you have a permit from the state you are in (where the school in question is located - not necessarily your home state) which permits carry on or near school grounds. If you are exercising Constitutional carry you could still be in violation of federal law without even knowing it by simply passing by a school (many towns have enough schools that the entire downtown area would be within 1,000 feet of some school).
In Georgia we have constitutional carry, from what I've read in the bill, there doesn't seem to be any difference between permit and permitless carry, although a Georgia permit will allow you to bypass the 4473 background check at FFLs
Bill is SB-319 in case someone wants to correct me. I'm not a lawyer so I might have missed something.
Recently Georgia confirmed Constitutional carry in the State. The State still maintains a carry permit system (confirming both concealed and open carry of firearms) which somewhat expands the areas permit holding citizens may carry, and the carry permit helps the state honor reciprocity agreements with other states regarding firearms carry (typically concealed, in this case). The prevaricating leftist running for Governor in Georgia keeps running ads claiming that the current Governor of the State of Georgia supported Constitutional carry, and that Constitutional carry eliminates background checks for firearms and allows criminals to carry openly and concealed. Obviously that is false. Criminals, by definition don't obey laws, and are clearly not responsible gun owners. Constitutional carry rather simply confirms that responsible individuals legally able to own a firearm have the right to carry that firearm in public, concealed or openly. The biggest flaw in Georgia with 2A related law is restrictions on 18-20 year old adults. While I understand why they think this is necessary, it is clearly not in alignment with the Text and history of rights in this country to limit a right to a group of adult citizens based on age.
Hopefully that can be changed at a later date, that being said, there is one exception: members of the military, a simple modification to the statute would fix the issue.
Why do my Constitutional rights stop at the state line?
What are your thoughts on legal reunifications in the even of having to use the fire arm. Today, just about every self defense case in which a civilian has used the concealed weapon has followed with a lawsuit of that individual. Can these organizations use “constitutional carry” against someone by stating they had no training or where not qualified to carry. Thanks.
That is why I have concealed carry insurance and as soon as possible will be getting my state issued conceal carry permit. Since I live in Idaho, I don't really need the permit since we are a constitutional carry state but along with that permit you have reciprocity to 39 other states. They will recognize your permit. The other reason I will be getting the permit is that to get it you have to take a required training class and I am big on as much training as possible.
People who choose to carry, carry. Those that choose not to carry, don't carry. Constitutional carry, may issue, and shall issue, changes nothing. For instance, I live in a constitutional carry state, and I own firearms, but I don't carry, and don't keep one in the car. I choose not to go there.
We have a long way to go.
MA resident here, you can’t get denied a LTC unless you can’t legally own guns. It’s more so people attend the course and learn what the what is. Guns are not part of our culture up here anymore. We have alot of morons.
License and permits are totally unconstitutional, its your constitutional right to carry
Is this in regards to concealed carry, or open carry?
Another thing to think about is medical marijuana or “fda approved “ drugs.
Yeah, its sad that you can't be a lawful gun owner and use weed.
Most of the carry states have permittless carry and call it constitutional carry. Tennessee does this. They call it constitutional carry, but you can't carry a long gun.
The only issue I see is that you, in some circumstances need a permit to carry concealed in most states because they don't recognize the reciprocity without a permit. BTW I live in Ohio and we just got constitutional carry.
