I wonder why South Carolina scores so low. The only thing on the list that is "difficult" in SC is open carry. A one day class required to apply for a concealed weapons permit followed by a background check doesn't seem over the top.
Permit, shmermit...this is Alaska. We do what we want. LOLThere was a thread on this subject not to long ago and I objected to Alaska not being #1. I was told it was because we need to inform a cop if we get pulled over we have a gun. Also If I enter a home I need homeowners permission to bring a gun in.
When you're on the top the nitpicking gets stepped up.
Also what is this CC permit you folks speak of?

So you don't tell the cop or the homeowner you're packing. Good for you.
2 very stupid laws. Only 9 states require notifying the LEO.
Only 4 require notifying the homeowner. So you are in select company.
^ As one born in Alabama, I'll concur... but here's my $0.02:I'll step up for Montana. It's Montana....'nuff said.
Our state motto is "Welcome to Montana. Now go home."
Other than the last two on the list Colorado is very gun friendly. And since the last two are not being enforced by anyone...
Our mag ban is stupid and unenforceable and therefore it is not enforced. There is simply no way to prove you didn't have that mag before the ban went into effect. Nor is there any way to really prove illegal transfers unless you are selling to the feds/cops in the first place. And if you are doing that chances are you were on the radar long before for a number of other things and they figured, "While we are at it...".
NFA is easy to do, we are shall issue, open carry is everywhere, buying from a dealer is just the 4473 and check, we have no waiting period. So yeah, outside of Denver/ Boulder we are really very pro gun. Too bad the state gets lead around by two cities...
Hasn't been worth the paper it's printed on in a long time.I just read thru the Guns & Ammo ratings. When I saw where they rate New Mexico I was reminded why I quit reading their magazine.
