| #19 Lessee; 12 states now ( according to the art) are good to go; so that leaves: 57-12= 45 still gotta get it together. (or 38 in real numbers) |

| #18 In NH you now don't require a license to buy or carry, open or concealed, or in a vehicle. If you want to take advantage of reciprocity with other states, you would need a license, and the new term is five years. |

| #17 Some municipalities however, do require ownership licensing Back when Kansas was working on our CCC, they passed a resolution affirming Kansas law presided over local firearm rules, that is the counties and municipalities could not make their own firearm rules. We can also open carry handguns. Guess what happened with our open carry, CCC, and no local restrictions? Nothing. Dodge City did not revert to Wyatt Earpian violence. Wichita did not become Mogadishu-on-Arkansas. Kansas City did not blow up. |

| #16 In Texas you need a CHL license to open carry a handgun. Rifles and shotguns do not need a license to open carry. On your property you decide if firearms are allowed. |

| #13 Didn't that used to be the "Live Free or Die" state, Raj? |

| #12 Interesting the number of BLUE states passing these new concealed carry laws. NH was solid red when I lived there. In the late 80's it started turning blue - first it was an influx of welfare refugees from Lawrence and an ever-expanding invasion of Massholes and retirees from other blue states (PA, NJ, etc) that turned the state purple. |

| #11 In Texas, you don't need a permit as long as you carry in plain sight...so you see lots of folks packing iron in public. Where did you get this notion? In order to open carry in Texas you still need a concealed carry permit. |

| #10 Before this law, anyone who wanted to carry their gun concealed had to apply for a license with a local police official who would decide if they were "suitable" for one. Detractors said this system was too subjective. The above statement is abit misleading. Prior to this law NH was already a "shall issue" state as opposed to a "may issue" state. Meaning that if the applicant was in good stead with both federal and state guidelines officials have no choice but to issue a permit. By definition, that's the opposite of "subjective". |

| #9 Interesting the number of BLUE states passing these new concealed carry laws. In Texas, you don't need a permit as long as you carry in plain sight...so you see lots of folks packing iron in public. I like it. Soon the progressives and the globalists won't be able to control the masses. Of course the dems that vote for these things think the weapons will come in handy when they start open insurrection...but they don't which side. |

| #8 You still need a license to own a gun, right? Keep in mind, most states can deny ownership to any convicted felon (along with the vote). Given there were no prison systems in America in 1792, most felons hung. Dead men had no need of either (and Chicago was merely a trading outpost at the time). |

| #7 Maine passed this + open carry 2 years ago. We've had no problems (shocking, I know). What we really need is national reciprocity. |

| #6 Colorado just passed this out of their committee and sent it to the house floor. More than likely it will die there as there are still to many demoncrats controlling the house, but good to see things like this being discussed. |

| #5 The guns are registered to their owner through the NICS system. Go with out saying to those who know but there may be some who have not purchased a gun. |

| #4 No, generally speaking, you do not need to be licensed to 'own' a gun. Licensed to 'concealed carry' a weapon, yes. Some municipalities however, do require ownership licensing. All ownership of fully automatic weapons (machine guns), artillery pieces, sound suppressors, and explosives requires Federal and/or State licensing. Someone please correct me if I have misspoken. |

| #2 Tennessee is pondering constitutional carry as well. We already have about 11% of the state population with carry permits. |
