Many of you have seen my map:
About a year ago, someone asked if he could put the map on the Concealed Carry page on Wikipedia. I said yes, and the image was added.
Since then, there have been several attempts by Wikipedia admins to have it pulled. First, it was yanked because it hadn't been posted with the permission of the creator - despite my having not only granted permission, but having explicitly added to the image a statement that I had done so.
The image was eventually restored, after I formally released the image under a Creative Commons license.
Now it's been pulled again, because it isn't properly sourced. Apparently the sources that I used in creating the image weren't appropriately non-partisan.
So I'm trying to collect sources of the type that they approve, so I can add them to the page. Unfortunately, a family crisis is preventing me from spending the sort of time I need to get this done in a reasonable amount of time.
What I have so far is here:http://www.gun-nuttery.com/rtc.php#proof
What I need are sources that indicate the date at which a state's laws became shall-issue. Best type of source would be a link on a state's official website, next best would be a contemporary report in the mainstream media - TV, radio, or newspaper, discussing the passage of the law.
If anyone can help me fill in the blanks, I'd really appreciate it.
Yes - my plan is to buy the weapon, get professional training, get a concealed carry license, AND continue to dress well! PinkChampagne does not hold up well in hot water!

really? I haven’t heard a word about it from VCDL. Virginia Beach got their butts sued over it during a festival year before last. Open carry is the law of the land except at VCU, K-12, and Federal type areas. Then again ,I am back in SWVA where you can walk down the street with a RPG if you want.
fyi, the mayor of Alexandria has OPENLY stated that "anyone caught packing a pistol" in PUBLIC & UN-concealed will AUTOMATICALLY be charged with "brandishing a firearm" & "anything else we can think of".
Alexandria city is LEFTIST, DIMocRAT & ANTI-gun to the core.
in Prince William County (where i have an apartment) it's "dixie" & like SW VA.

Here is a link to the Nebraska State Patrol website FAQ on Concealed Carry. It clearly indicates that applications can be submitted beginning January 3, 2007.
As is usual/typical in Nebraska, we are the last ones to the party.
Kudo's to you for this great piece of work.
