I didn't realize those states in the NE had Constitutional Carry. Cool.

Quoted: I didn't realize those states in the NE had Constitutional Carry. Cool. View Quote VT was IIRC the first state to have it, simply because it had never been legislated against. NH was license-free for open carry IIRC, most small towns COP would shake your hand when applying for a license for concealed. |

I would have included California (probably) and Hawaii (definitely) as being "Clearly Refusing to Follow Bruen". From what I have seen Hawaii seems to be pretending that they don't even have to do anything different, as if this doesn't apply to them.

Map is incorrect. Tennessee does not have constitutional carry, it has permit-less carry. Real constitutional carry would allow 18-21 year olds the right. That is not so in Tennessee. We also have a law called, "intent to go armed." Pistol carry is an exception to that law that should have been retracted years ago. Also, you can not carry a long gun in Tennessee.

PA has the same ranking as CA?
Shit, our sheriff opened an office just to make it easier to get your LTCF. |
|
MD has been throttled back so far, you can carry in very few places.
Let's hope a Supreme Court case ensues. |

I like playing with this map. I think we need to see what all the brightest glowing locations across the country have in common.
There’s a pattern, surely, maybe AI can figure it out? |

N.D. you have to be a resident & have had an in state I.D. for 1 year to carry without a permit.

Quoted: VT was IIRC the first state to have it, simply because it had never been legislated against. View Quote I believe that's correct. There was never a permit system put in place. Always been legal. Even though we have CC in New Hampshire, I still get my 5 years for $10 total paper carry permit for reciprocity purposes. No prints, no training, no picture. The turn around on my last renewal was less than 24 hours. |

There are some minor complaints about the accuracy of the map. OK. Let's assume it isn't perfect.
But, this map is why I chuckle a bit about the DOOOOOM often expressed in GD re: 2A. We have been winning, slowly, for years. Yes, there are some ups and downs, but winning is winning. I have been haunting the planet for close to seven decades. Gun rights, overall, are pretty damn good compared to my youth. For that, we can thank Trump and his court appointees. |

What is “Partial Constitutional Carry?”
I guess unrestricted open carry like Virginia has doesn’t count? |

I was personally assured by the then Texas Lieutenant Governor that we would never get Concealed Carry like Florida, back in the late 80's/early 90's. Since then, Shall Issue has rolled across the nation & has become a Constitutional mandate. So cheers to Florida, who started the Shall Issue ball rollilng. |

View Quote Very few States have legit constitutional carry, it seems. IMO, for it to be constitutional carry, 18-21 should be included, it should apply to both long guns and concealable weapons, it should apply to both open and concealed carry, and there should not be a bunch of added restrictions, limitations, and caveats for those without a permit, those who are not residents, or in general. Not many States reach that threshold. Most have a number of limits on non-permitholders (AZ does, for example) or limits on carry (like no carry in places that serve or sell alcohol or other place restrictions, many of which you won't even find in CA, ironically), do not permit non-residents to carry permitlessly, limit those under 21 from carrying, or place restrictions on open carry, long gun carry, etc. I'd be interested to see a list of which States have true constitutional carry and which have something more limited that they call constitutional carry (Florida definitely isn't). |

In Texas, a LTC or out of state carry permit lets you carry into liquor stores that aren't posted, lets you carry on state college campuses, and skips NICS. That's about it. As passed, our Constitutional Carry law excluded handguns for under 21, but we just stopped defending that in Federal court so a default judgement was rendered that struck down the restriction for under 21 yr olds. There's still the bullshit "Safe Schools 1000 ft zone" that is Federal, so if you possess a firearm in your vehicle or on your person when passing through an area 1000' around a school w/o an LTC, you're technically committing a federal felony. A few weeks back they busted some muslim dude for camping out in his car w/ a rifle by a school & charged him w/ that, so hopefully that will get struck down too. |

Quoted: I would have included California (probably) and Hawaii (definitely) as being "Clearly Refusing to Follow Bruen". From what I have seen Hawaii seems to be pretending that they don't even have to do anything different, as if this doesn't apply to them. View Quote Most CA counties have been issuing freely since before Bruen. Some of the big ones like Los Angeles had also started relaxing things and issuing a lot more permits before Bruen. Since Bruen a few counties and cities have continued to place barriers (mostly in or near the Bay Area) or otherwise make things difficult, but most that weren't freely issuing permits before are at least begrudgingly issuing permits since. Some of those are adopting a zero-defect policy for "good character" or requiring more than just a clean background, but it's the exception. Ironically, CA has fewer place and circumstance restrictions for carry with a permit than many "constitutional carry" States. Carrying in a bar is perfectly legal here, for example, but not so much in a number of States. Also ironically, it has fewer restrictions on open carry than Florida, the so-called "gunshine state". That being said, the legislature very much wants to go the same route as New York and IIRC they came up with the idea to make almost everywhere off-limits together, in collusion with one another. But because of their impatience and inability to get a supermajority onboard the legislation failed. They learned their lesson and are trying it again this session and I suspect it will pass. But for now, carry is a lot easier than it used to be in more historically restrictive counties and in most jurisdictions it is effectively shall-issue, and there are hardly any limitations on when and where you can carry. So it is mostly in conformance with Bruen. Certainly more so than New York. |

Tony They must live in rural counties. Until recently, you had to be "connected" to get one in many places. Only in certain counties and cities (if the cities also issued their own; most do not). In most counties self-defense or something fairly minor (a bit more than just writing down "self-defense" was sufficient) and not being prohibited was all that was needed beyond the basic requirements like training and such. Effectively shall issue for most or all non-prohibited persons. Even Los Angeles County started making them attainable before Bruen (sadly, it took the first Democrat in around a century being elected sheriff to get that). It was mostly a few counties along the central coast and the greater Bay Area that were continuing to be difficult in this regard, with San Francisco being the worst. |
