Here is a timeline for the history of firearms. It has the dates when concealed carry for states became effective.

I thought it was pretty cool to check out.

Thanks Country Boy, that is cool. I did'nt realize N.H. was the first state to pass a CCL. I'd like to see what the application for the CCL looked like back then. Alabama second, that's cool too. Look how many years it took for other states to catch-up.

Pennsylvania had CCW before 1989.

I turned 21 on April 19, 1986, and had my PA CCW 2 weeks later.

Both of my parents had CCWs well before that.
