Would you stay in a state that stopped allowing you to carry

I would not stay, I would not move to one.
I will not work for an employer who says ''no guns.'' They don't have to be pro-gun, just not anti-gun.

Yes, it would take MUCH more to get me to move again. I spent 20 years having to move periodically (P.I.T.A!) and have been in this house for the last 20+.

I plan on my Obit (hopefully in the distant future ) showing this as my address.

No.

I wouldn't if I could afford to leave. At the moment though I would have to stay put. Luckily in my state that type of change would require changing the state constitution so hopefully I won't ever have to make that choice.

I have lived in 2 states all my life. NY and FL. I had a license to carry in both. I started carrying in 1972-3. When I sold my business in the mid 90's, I had to turn in my carry permit. I made a concious decision then, "being single" that if I was going to start a new business, I may as well do it where it was warm, and I could carry a gun.
Having spent so much time in FL, I pretty much knew where and what I wanted to do, but it cost me about half of what I had saved, waiting 2 years to sell 2 apartments and a business.The business went right away, it was well known and esstablished, but it was the last housing slump in the early 90's, and co-ops and condo's were not moving, but I stuck it out and finally got out.
I couldn't conceive of suddenlly not having a permit and a gun. Especially after all i had seen, and having had my gun save my life on more than one occasion. What would you do it for some crazy reason, your state suddenlly said no more carry. Would you move to another state of just accept it and just go without. I'm curious to see how this turns out

I would sell out ASAP and move some where I could carry.

No. Crime is usually higher in those states. Gun Laws only make non-felons and law abiding citizens into criminals.

Well, I would like to think that I would do the same as mr. scott...

Absolutely not.

I don't have Second Amendment rights in Virginia. I have the right to keep and bear arms under Section 13 of the constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I would leave this state if Section 13 were repealed.

Section 13 of our state constitution is the basis from which James Madison wrote the Second Amendment. Virginia is probably the most gun-friendly and gun-lenient state in the South so I have very serious doubts that we will ever see and end to our right to bear arms. But I am not so naive to believe that what seems to be the impossible cannot happen.

I would leave my beloved Virginia should she ever pass such a tragic thing into law.

The core problem is in the thread title. We've already been indoctrinated with the idea that all things come from government...and that which is "allowed" by the government is all we may legally have.

2A comes neither from the government nor the Constitution. 2A doesn't "grant" us the right to keep and bear arms. It recognizes that it's a right, and guarantees it...but that's all. Privileges are granted, and privileges can be revoked at whim. When we begin to believe that RKBA is a privilege granted by government, we are on the road to accepting that it can be revoked...at whim.

Even the much celebrated CCW permit is part of that mindset.

We beg for permission to exercise a Constitutional right...pay the bribe...er...the tax...er...the fee...and we're happy about that? Really?

And like good serfs, we obey. Well...most of us, anyway. I find it amusing that the dot-gov and the lawmakers really, truly believes that no otherwise law-abiding citizen has ever dared to carry a pistol or revolver concealed on his/her person before they condescended to give us their coveted permission-for-a-price.

They're just that arrogant. Good people have been carrying guns for about 250 years. They do that because bad people also carry guns and knives and saps and blackjacks, etc...and they don't care what the dot-gov doesn't allow.

"Mama don' 'low no git-tar pickin' 'round here. Mama don' 'low no git-tar pickin'
round he-ere."

"Well, I don't care what mama don' 'low, gon' pick my git-tar anyhow, and mama don't 'low no git-tar pickin' 'round here."
