It's a matter of principle. One should never have to crawl to his masters and lick his boots to obtain his masters' permission to exercise a natural, inherent right.

UPDATE:
For those not following the other threads, Montana is surging ahead in this pony-race.
HB 340 will, apparently, enshrine VT carry into MT law, with an option to apply for a permit for those who would use it reciprocally in other states.

Too bad they outlawed online gambling, we could've had a pool for these. I'm ticked off, because I wanted to gamble on future international events. Killjoys.
Once this passes, we can start a new thread: "What will be the _4th_ state to get VT carry?" I'm guessing Wyoming, though NH or ID wouldn't surprise me.
Precondition for potential statehood in 2009, you need to be able to justify at least one Congressman. Just ribbing the Northfolks. Hope y'all's legislative moves can speed along with your western neighbor.

I suspect Montana.
Mindwip: I dont think that it would help justify leaner gun laws in one state if the next has less.
PA and VA are blamed for NYC's gun problem. IL is right next to Indiana and INdiana has some of the best laws in the nation regarding CCW. Nobody but pro-gun people voice their opinions on how CCW is a good thing.

NH is out of the race for right now until we can chase off this new crop of tax and spend dems. They're openly advocating sales and income taxes in a state known for having neither. They're openly advocating instituting new taxes for our manufactured "education crisis" (last time I checked, our public education was just fine, thanks) and using this to try to justify measures that would ruin our economy (sales tax) and completely run counter to the largely tax free culture we enjoy here.
Our dem governor vetoed NH's version of "Stand Your Ground" last year, which basically means he is anti-gun and anti-self defense no matter what the dem apologists tell you. So far he's resisted the party line of tax tax tax, but I suspect he'll be forced to cave in on abandoning "the pledge" if the dems can push their manufactured school funding "crisis" hard enough.
Worst of all is these bastards think they have a mandate because the governor wiped the floor with his opposition, and the dems took both houses of the legislature by a pretty decent margin, coming into control for the first time since EARLY in the 20th century. They've even introduced a bill to get rid of "Live free or die" as the motto on the license plates. I kid you not.
Fortunately, it's extremely easy to contact your legislators and actually have them listen to you, and if you can muster up the time, anyone can go down to the state house and testify at committee hearings for or against bills.

Montana or Wyoming would be my guess... Unless you count Illinois since the thugs there don't have permits and carry anyway!

I doubt AZ will be next, or even the 4th. But I think they'll get there in the next 10 years, maybe less. They've dramatically cut the training requirements. Last I saw it was 8 hours for a new permit (used to be 16 hours), and no training for a renewal (used to be 8 hours). Once you nearly if not elminate the training requirements there's little reason to maintain them anyway. Plus permitless open carry has been legal here for some time.

My dad and I were talking about this the other day. We're both kind of surprised that Texas doesnt allow both unlicensed conceiled carry and unlicensed open carry. Its a shame, and unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any movement towards it.
