It can’t be easy in New York State. It’s fairly simple in PA. But I recently read that Maine is the safest state in the Union because it’s the most 2nd A. friendly. No permit to carry, concealed or open. OTOH, Illinois is “gun free” and is possibly the most UNsafe.
” OTOH, Illinois is gun free and is possibly the most UNsafe.”
Actually, it’s better than you think. Illinois’ gun laws are more 2A friendly than some other states: For instance, its CCW is SHALL issue rather than the more restrictive MAY issue. Up until last year there was only a 24 hour waiting period for the purchase of a long gun (though now it is 72 hours, which is the same for a hand gun).
Add Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and West Virginia to your Constitutional Carry list.
