Hopefully Constitutional Carry does not turn the right to carry into a permit/privilege to carry. There should be no permits required to carry concealed. Why don’t I need to have a permit to carry openly, but need one to carry concealed? Why does where I have my gun determine if it’s a right to carry or a privilege that government can easily take away? (Ex San Diego sheriff).

Because that is a huge step backwards. States can revoke privileges.

"Constitutional Carry" is shorthand for "no permits required to carry open or concealed". The article says they're modeling the legislation after AK and AZ, and that's the case in both states, though at least in AZ, they still issue CCW's for those who want them, in most cases to use in other states that recognize them.
