The Second Amendment says "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Listen to the Article
Bear. Arms.
That means carry. It means on your person. It means you don't need permission from the government to exercise a constitutional right.
Yet some states require licenses. They require permits. They make you ask for permission. That's not a right. That's a privilege the government grants if they feel like it.
Constitutional carry is the baseline. No permit. No license. No government permission slip. If you can legally own a firearm, you can carry it. That's what the Constitution actually says.
Twenty-some states already understand this. They have constitutional carry. No permit required. And what happened? Crime didn't spike. Chaos didn't ensue. Law-abiding citizens exercised their constitutional right.
Other states still require permits. Still require background checks for carry permits even though you already passed a background check to buy the gun. Still treat carrying like a government favor instead of a constitutional right.
That's unconstitutional. It violates Heller. It needs to end.
Every state should have constitutional carry. Not because it's convenient. Because it's constitutional. Because the Second Amendment doesn't require a government permission slip. Because rights don't require permission.
It's that simple.
