In 2023, Constitutional Carry (permitless) was restored to 26 states. Vermont always had Constitutional Carry. Those states make up 65% of the land area of the United States of America. According to John Lott, those 27 states contain 44% of the population of the United States. When will a majority of the people in the United States enjoy permitless carry, as well as a majority of the states?
It is highly likely Louisiana will join the Constitutional Carry Club in early 2024. Louisiana’s inclusion will increase the percentage of the land area with constitutional carry from 65.3% to over two-thirds, with 66.7% of the land area. Louisiana increased the percentage of the population to 45.4 percent. The estimated population in 2023 is about 340 million people. 4.6% of 340 million is 15.6 million people. There are several states that are candidates for Constitutional Carry, which could be combined to place the population of people in states where a permit is not required for over 50% of the population of the USA.
One of the most likely of those states is Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania passed Constitutional Carry, with significant margins in its legislature, in 2021. Anti-Second Amendment Governor Tom Wolf vetoed Senate Bill 565. A Republican governor in Pennsylvania and a Republican legislature would very likely pass a Constitutional Carry bill. Pennsylvania has a population of about 12.96 million people in 2023. Pennsylvania would put the United States very close to a majority of the population living in permitless carry states. There have been significant voting irregularities in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. It is difficult to prosecute people for election fraud when one political party controls all the levers of power in a city or state.

I believe that our retired ID card would be more than sufficient.
Tried by 12 or carried by 6. Plus, a trial would give me a platform to rail against the police and DA for trying to prosecute me.
TARGET. FIRE FOR EFFECT. OVER.
Land area and percentage of population have nothing to do with Constitutional Carry. The lefties in control of the blue states are the stoppers and until they a gone those states will always have illegal gun control to go along with their illegal aliens and their other unAmerican activities.
We got it in GA last year. Finally after 5 Yeats of RINOs holding it in committee.
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people.
Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature.
But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both."
But people are migrating from the anti-gun states to the freer states at a good pace.
You "can" carry whether the Constitution exists or not.
Consequences may vary.
The SCOTUS, in 1857, made it clear one of the rights of a US CITIZEN was “To keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
This was in the infamous Dred Scott Decision. After this statement the Court went on for hundreds of paragraphs “proving” BLACKS were not citizens and had no rights. And the ground work for the Civil War was laid.
What the SCOTUS thought about gun control in the pre Civil War era.
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, and inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.

“Massachusetts has already had a court case where the judge said they cannot prosecute someone from another state if they can legally carry in their home state.”

It’s not like constitutional carry is part of the Constitution or something. /s
“The privilege to bear arms indescriminately..”
It’s not a privilege.
It’s a Constitutionally guaranteed Right.

tru dat...
and barring that boating accident, i will.
Arizona is a Constitutional Carry State. You can carry concealed with or without a permit.

You have to remember, Michiganstan was ruled by repbuliCAN’Ts for 8 years, and has had the legislature for decades.
Why don’t we have it?
The chamber of commerce is dead set against it.
And the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts eagerly comply.
That’s why.
Constitutionally guaranteed Right is the only way to speak of it.
When the Left perceives negative consequences from a Right that doesn’t cover their immorality (e.g. 2A), their solution is always to work outside the Constitutional process to abridge/control it. When a Constitutionally guaranteed Right can be misinterpreted to cover their deviancy, the Constitutional protection is the veritable word of God and must give license to all acts.
Oh, they failed alright. That’s typical for loser republicans. They have no concept of how to lead
New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington will all resist to the bitter end.
and you "greater good folks" is a version of "Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen" made famous by Marx (Not Groucho)
“I believe that our retired ID card would be more than sufficient.”
Please don’t construe that everyone coming out of the military is competent to carry a weapon. Part of the reason for the varification is mental competency also. If a person has PTSD and flips out on the street can you guarentee they won’t pull and discharge the weapon. Part of the check is to make sure a person who should not carry a weapon due to mental instability is identified. It may not be their fault, but it is a fault if someone gets harmed or killed. And people from the business are no different than those on the street for that problem. And you know as well as I that that business changes people. Unfortunate, but true.
