As in - lately, getting states to a "shall issue" CCW status is everyone's goal...
But how long has it been illegal to carry a gun WITHOUT a "concealed weapons permit?"
(I assume naturally that answers will vary based on location...)
Or for that matter, when laws changed to dissuade/forbid OPEN-carrying of guns? It's a safe bet that it took more than just the act of toting a sixgun in the Old West to get the Sheriff after you for "going armed to the terror of the public!"
