Growth in "constitutional carry"

Posted by David Hardy · 26 January 2017 02:07 PM

From Charles Cooke, in the National Review Online:

"In 1990, some form of "constitutional carry" obtained in just 0.25 percent of the geographical area of the United States, and for only 0.22 percent of the population. Today, those numbers are 42 percent and 18 percent, respectively."

And, as he notes, those numbers are likely to grow appreciably in 2017.

removing suppressors from the NFA looks kinda feasible with the Pres administration.

nationwide concealed carry for those of us from States that permit liberally or Constitutionally, a little less feasible but feasible nonetheless.

what else could RKBA folks try for?

removing "sporting purposes" language from Federal law

interstate purchase of handguns just like for long guns---use it as a carrot for continued support for issued-permit CCW while more of the country goes Constitutional.

Well did you see the Two White House Petitions?

Marcus,
no I did not. WH petitions are fine, I guess, but the two proposals of mine above are legislative.

Meaning they have to come to being through acts of Congress. WH petitions aren't the most direct way to achieve that.
