Embracing gun rights in my opinion = supporting conceal and carry
I agree. This is the last issue the gun rights have to argue, so it has become a big one.
Here in very conservative Idaho, where owning a gun is as common as owning a pair of shoes, the issue was brought up in the Legislature, and was voted down by a Republican super-majority. We already have tolerance for open carry, but they decided concealed carry was simply too dangerous to make it any easier to get a permit than it already is here.
A similar bill was also defeated that would have allowed open and concealed carry on our college campuses. The students, faculties, administrators, all did not want either allowed on campuses, and the bill sank like a rock.
We have our share of yearly hunting deaths, accidental shootings, intentional shootings, and similar gun mayhem going on, and have always had. I think that I'm safe in saying every 4th home in a neighborhood has at least one gun in it, and almost as often, 2 or more. We know what can happen.
That is no more a probability than banning all firearms in the country is a probability. Neither one will ever, ever happen. You and the goofballs who want to take every gun away from every citizen and sing Kumbaya together need to sit down and hammer out something in the middle.
wont happen, of course if I was elected potus I would fix it where no more borrowing would ever happen again at the national level, and the debt would disappear overnight. also, the full faith and credit clause would go into complete effect as well within the several states.
no firearms law at all in either state/local or at the federal level. any free citizen can own and use any firearm they want to. if you dont want a criminal to have a firearm, then keep them in jail.
Would a person be allowed to conceal and carry any type of firearm?

yes, without permits too. the criminals already carry anything they want, without any regard to current laws, why should we treat the already law abiding any different.
look at current firearms laws. now remember that criminals already break gun laws. that means that gun laws are only there to control the law abiding citizen, as criminals dont give a damn about the law anyways.

There is no more Democratic Party, it's been replaced with a pseudo-Marxist party, where the political elites are allowed to operate outside the law, live like pampered royalty, and rule over the huddled masses.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Excellent parody of delusional paranoia.
It's like asking if the Jehovah's Witnesses were to embrace the concept of the Trinity, would Evangelicals flock to their churches. Well maybe so, but a) it's not going to happen, and b) if it did it would mean that the JH's had converted, not the reverse.
Leftist collectivism is never going to fully embrace the idea of arms in the hands of individuals. They only trust the collective with this power. Look around the world--there are very few left of center democracies that have not severely curtailed gun rights. The US, Switzerland, and Israel are about the only exceptions that I know of.
The NRA is sitting pretty right now, but only 20 years ago it looked like gun banners were gaining the upper hand and perhaps on a track to ban all semi-autos. The current situation could just be a short-lived anomaly, like alcohol prohbition was. It's entirely possible that in another generation the pendulum will swing back and we'll follow the examples of Europe, Canada, and Australia. Gun banning is entirely consistent with collectivism, and if we go the collectivist route, undoubtedly we will eventually also go the gun-ban route.

I dont think that will happen. read some of the entrance to statehood compacts that were done between a state and the feds.
the compact that Montana has stated that firearms is an individual right, not a collective right.
Quote:
President Benjamin Harrison approved the Montana Constitution in 1889, which secured the right of "any person" to bear arms, clearly intended as an individual right and an individual right deemed consistent then with the Second Amendment by the parties to the contract;
