1.Constitutional Carry- Concealed and Open Carry without a permit.
2.Allows those 18 or older to carry concealed or open
3.Allows all NFA. No state firearm restrictions. No magazine restrictions. If the Feds allow it you can own it
4.Shall issue carry permit (If Constitutional Permit-less is not applicable). Open carry allowed without permit.
5.Uses Federal NICS - No State POC means no State background check fees

7.No restrictions on gun shows
8.Very few places where you cannot carry

Kentucky comes real close to above. We have constitutional OPEN carry. Unfortunately you have to be 21 to get a concealed carry permit in order to carry concealed.
