Pretty simple poll but pretty controversial at the same time...

Do you support a person's individual right to conceal carry a firearm for personal defense. I'm not talking about any particular legal case concerning concealed carry, I'm not talking about any specific state or city which might allow or deny the concealed carry of a firearm.

This assumes that people are following all the reasonable laws of their concealed carry permit (if needed) and they are legally capable of holding that permit (no felony record or whatever that state says).

Easy to do in my state, but I don't bother.
You can't take them into most establishments and now you CAN keep them in your car.

Which state? The list of states that don't allow it or make it unreasonably hard to get a permit is getting pretty small these days.

Like where? I have a TX CHL and I'm actually surprised at the number of places you can legally carry a firearm in this state.

Skrew conceal carry. I'm for holsters and open carry. Why hide it?


There was a time in this nations history, that you didn't leave home without your gun.
Today is really no different.

The 2nd amendment gave us the right to defend ourselves as an individual, against everything, as each US citizen was equal to a King in Europe. We bow to no one!

Ah ok, I don't drink so that eliminates a lot of places I couldn't carry right off the bat since I never go to liquor stores or bars.

I don't know of any restaurants around me that don't allow CC.
