No doubt they would pass laws barring entry if you’re thinking about violating their state laws. Would it be any better if “they” were to issue a federal CCW permit? Again, why permit something that’s supposed to be protected by the BOR? All this probably makes me a racist bigot or something. Even further, if you feel the need to obtain a CCW, you just might be a racist. That’s about the mind set of some of the “brilliant” progressives out there.

Unless and until SCOTUS rules that permitless carry is permissible in all 57 states, I'll abide by the laws in place. SCOTUS said in Heller:

2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.

So how you or I would like the Second Amendment to be interpreted, SCOTUS has the final say.
