I'm curious what our state/town may be like soon. Our legislatures just passed the first stage of a bill that would allow concealed carry WITHOUT requiring a CCW permit. They believe the 2nd amendment already gives us the right. GOOD FOR THEM. Just like Vermont. It's got a couple more hurdles before being voted into becoming law. They will still issue, if you want one, a CCW permit. This way you'll have reciprocity in other states. Most states don't recognize vermont being they don't have any prerequisites. Anyway, I regress. It will be interesting to see what's going to happen if they allow everyone who is allowed legally to own a gun, to carry one concealed.
There won't be any laws broken if it's exposed, because you can already open carry. But I'm curious how many people we'll be able to spot carrying a pistol. I doubt there will be as many educated carriers.
What really worries me, is how many merchants, banks, stores, etc... are going to put up "No Firearms Allowed" signs in their windows. Currently, it's like Bill Clinton's "Don't ask - Don't tell". But if it's law that everyone can carry, and private business owners have the right to restrict business, will they start trying to restrict concealed carry. Should be an interesting next couple of months.
