It’s both. Permits are optional come 9/1. No longer required. You can still get one if you want it for reciprocity purposes.

“ No longer required. You can still get one if you want it for reciprocity purposes.”
It also allows you to purchase and take home a firearm. No waiting for background check.

It also allows you to carry some places CC will not (school parking lots and more).

You will also need a permit to enter some businesses who will require it.

Key point you make, reciprocity and background check when purchasing is important in my case.....

It’s great to have a permit for reciprocity, but then again, there’s a record of that request too, which is a red flag that you have a gun.
