...in going permitless concealed carry. Idaho just sent its bill to the governor's desk. West Virginia was only weeks ago.

I'm interested in the possible advantages in doing this.

I too am interested in the advantages of this. Only things I can come up with is that it's cheaper, and not having to jump through hoops and navigate some red tape to keep your permit?

I've been on the brink of taking a cc class and still will if this is passed here in LA. I'm certain that I'll be better for it.

Makes it easier to legally CC within the state. You'd still want a CCW permit for reciprocity in other states. Even if these laws do little else they still jab a hard thumb in the eyes of gun-control organizations and that's worth the effort.

There are benefits to the class, no doubt. You'll gain some insight into the legal ramifications of carrying a firearm.

My issue was always that it was required in the first place.

Coupled with the horesshit "background" check by the LSP and it was pretty clear that Louisiana discourages Concealed Carry.

This is interesting to me when you view it relative to other "high risk activities" that we deal with in life.

For instance, driving on public roads is considered a privilege. Driving on private property is arguably a right that does not require a driver license. In order to drive on public roads, you must take a test and display some modicum of knowledge.

Owning a gun is a right, not a privilege, no different than driving a vehicle on your private property in many respects (though it is specifically mentioned in the Constitution).

Should we require training to carry this way in public areas, in the same way we require training or education, to drive on public roads?

As you pointed out, carrying a firearm, concealed or not, is a right, not a privilege. States have managed to abuse this right by becoming "shall issue or may issue or shall issue if you jump through hoops and pay money and kiss our arse if we feel like it". Not to mention you have to renew this "right" every five years...

Also, all evidence to date points to the fact that when states allow constitutional carry or concealed carry (nice of them to "allow" a right), the blood doesn't actually start running in the streets.

Just have the same background check as when buying a gun and take the decision-making power away from some local yokel.

Does this permit out of state residents to carry without a permit like in AZ?
