I don't want a national carry law. I want a national "no permit necessary for anyone who's not a convicted felon" law. I carry at all times and have, reluctantly, a permit, but what other right enumerated in the Bill of Rights requires "permission"?

Here you go -

"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 491. Also see Marbury v. Madison, 1801.
 
"A county may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Federal Constitution." McGoldrick v. Bewind-White Co., 309 U.S. 33, 56- 58

All we need to do is persuade the Marxists in black robes to follow the constitution and precedence. Fat chance.......

I agree 100% with your point. as long as you are not a convicted felon, nutcase, or drunk/doper you should have the right to be unencumbered by having to get "permission:" from your governmant to excercise your civil rights according to the Constitution.
