Which States Allow Concealed Carry? This Map Shows Who Can Legally Carry a Gun and Where


Where in the U.S. can you legally carry a concealed firearm? The answer is, pretty much everywhere. In 2013, Illinois became the 50th state to make it legal to carry a concealed firearm in public.

The rules of concealed carry vary state-to-state, of course, and in some places, packing heat is much easier than in others.

Unrestricted states: In six states — Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Vermont and Wyoming — no permit at all is required to carry a concealed weapon in public, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a gun-control advocacy group ...

How Texas is preparing for upcoming open carry gun law

As of January 1, 2016, licensed Texans will no longer be forced to conceal their revolvers or semi-automatic handguns while out in public.

According to a new open carry law, which Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed at a gun range last June, licensed Texans can now openly carry their firearm (as long as it’s secured in a belt or shoulder holster) in all the same places where they could already carry a concealed weapon—which is pretty much anywhere except federal buildings, courthouses, polling places, amusement parks, worship centers, sporting events, jails, and businesses like bars where more than 51 percent of their earnings come from alcohol sales.

Yeah, and that "no other reason" includes being a Black Person gives reason.



Texas police say they'll take new open carry law in stride


... But, as the new law looms, some officers are backing off, saying they won't demand to see a license if they have no other reason to stop a gun carrier. Not doing so could avoid harassment lawsuits — even if would-be criminals could carry guns without fear of getting caught ...

Despite its reputation as the trigger-happy heart of American gun culture, Texas is late to the open carry party, at least when it comes to handguns.

understand who you're dealing with: the ku klux klan, and other like-minded haters, grabbed a badge and a gun...when they could no longer legally (lynch) us. everyone openly carrying a gun just gives them more justification to single us out and pick us off, one by one. it's not the carrying of the gun that's the deterrent, it's the killing of those who kill us that's the deterrent. just like in old days, once they were shown that they could die as well--that we were willing to kill them--they took another tactic. UNTIL those doing the killing gets killed, the killing will continue. when they realize that, if they kill someone, it's going to come back on them, they will stop. right now, there are no repercussions to their actions. THEY'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT. when they start dying, they'll back off that coz, as much as they like to kill, they don't want to die.

NOW, i'm not advocating a killing. i don't want anyone to say, "baller told me to kill them." I'm just saying, as i see it, the killing won't stop 'til they start getting killed...and taste the consequences of their actions.

it's that simple.

sounds like something Black Panther Huey Newton or MalcomX ['ballot or bullet'] would agree with. since we all have 2nd amendment rights, everyone can exercise them n well they should in this racist fascist 'police state'.

Great thread.

If we can combine legally carrying and always making sure we move as a group and never leave one of our own vulnerable then we would do fine.
