I find the term “constitutional carry” quite interesting. In the United States, the term “constitutional carry”, also called “permitless carry”, is a neologism for the legal carrying of a handgun, both openly and concealed, without the requirement of a government permit. It’s absurd to pass a law that gives a citizen a right that is already enshrined in the Constitution. The use of the term “constitutional carry” is an overt acknowledgment that the right already exists. A better approach might be to make a law that declares all previous laws relating to concealed carry are null and void.

That is pretty much what these laws do. They remove existing prohibitions on the concealed carry of weapons.
They often leave in place prohibitions on possession firearms by minors (without parental supervision), convicted felons, and other people prohibited by law from possessing firearms.

Ultimately, the ‘laws’ on the books are ALREADY null/void as you so noted: ‘Constitutional carry’ aka 2nd Amendment.
*THIS* is where I wish Fedzilla would come into play; protecting the Rights of the Citizens from the abuse of the State(s). But, it too violates any number of same\additional Rights and authorities than the States!
