I had one in the state of Maine for over 20 years. When i move up here to Alaska 18 years ago i spent $$$$ for CCW classes and state and federal paperwork. Got my CC permit. Two months later they changed the laws. Permit no longer needed. As long as you are over 21 and not a felon you can cc.
Been legally carrying every day sense June 1 1969.

You do realize that the non-concealed carries are going to reverse self-select. In other words, they won't register on your poll while those of us who are licensed will.

Im sure its many

I dont understand your point...the poll is who DOES have a license to carry concealed..not who carries open?

I have mine and carry faithfully everyday! lol

I've had mine for a year now, In va you can open carry without a permit! Thats a long cry from where I lived from in NJ (bunch of firearm haters!)

I have a Kentucky CCDW license.

I'm about 2 weeks into my waiting period here in NC, working on my wife to get hers also. As soon as it comes in I will be heading down to the gun shop for a few new additions to my collection...

Indiana lifetime LTCH (License to Carry a Handgun). Open or concealed.

I agree tom1911sigfreak, NJ has some major gun haters! I think it's all those years of liberals in office! I live in NJ and wish I could live elsewhere. I just got my handgun last month(man what a hassle) and I want to get a ccw permit how long should I wait to do so? Should I wait at all?

Been carrying for 2 months now.
S&W M&P .45
Springfield sub compact 9mm
In 7 days get my new Guncrafter Industries Model No 2 50 GI
Soon to qualify with that and add to CCW list of carry weapons.
Guncrafter Industries : 50GI Model No.1

DO NOT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

I've had mine about 15yr now

We in Arizona are not required to obtain a permit to carry concealed. However, i will be taking the class sometime this summer. Being so new to handguns, I feel it is imperative that I take the class for hands on training and safety, and to be sure I know exactly what the law says on ALL aspects of carrying. I want to be 100% sure of everything from how to act when dealing with law enforcement, to where u can and can't carry, to the most important aspect of carrying: knowing everything the law says on use of deadly force. It is crucial to know these things.

Whatever you do print out your states laws and read them carefully.It is all in there.I know when I took my state required CCW class I was dissapointed about what was left out.There is a lot of free info out there if ya spend a lil time looking.It all comes down to the old saying of "ignorance of the law is no excuse."

I carry a sawed off shot gun illegally. Lol joking. I got one here in pa

I dunno how NJ works but you don't need a weapon to have a permit. Get it now. In PA it only takes 20 minutes. Fill out the paper sit while they do the checks and if you pass you get your pic taken.

I have mine, and have for about 6 years. I could open carry, but it scares the "sheeple." I just want to be left unmolested. If people leave me the #ell alone, I am just fine.

I've carried for over 44 years now. As a retired PO, I also can carry concealed in the 50 States under HR 218. I carry every time I step outside. Ya never know when you might need a 'friend'.

Got mine last month in Florida. Moved from the UK 14 months ago.
The big difference between USA and UK in my personal opinion is that the gun laws here make for a less violent society.
UK suffers with more violent crime than USA. Fact...
the English law went soft whilst searching for election votes a considerable time ago. The BGs are the only ones that are armed.
British police have upped their armed numbers but, as we all know, they cant be everywhere at the 'wrong time and wrong place'
Its a very reassuring position for me to be in knowing that for the first time, I am able to match the aggression level aimed at my family, friends or me. I've had training and carry a Kimber 1911 pro carry 2. Covert 4" with Crimson grips. Still trying to find an IWB hybrid that can take Crimson.
Fight to protect this very valuable legislation at all costs.
Be very clear on what a prospective elected government aim to do with your right before you go to the ballet boxes later this year ( do they have ballot boxes in the states ? ).;

WEEE,I just checked the Tx DPS web site.My permit is in the mail.Now I am a legally toting old man.Im afraid to look at the pic on it-my photos are considered roach control.

Sent mine off today so I didn't click on anything. Ask again in six weeks.

I've been carrying for a couple of years now. Started EDC-ing with a Kahr CW45 in a Looper OWB holster and two extra mags. Upgraded to a Ruger SR1911 and also purchased a S&W Model 38 Airweight as a BUG. I'm currently carrying the 1911 strong side in a Mitch Rosen OWB with two extra mags and the M38 in Akers leather on the weak side.

On Nov. 1 of this year, we will have the option to legally open carry in Oklahoma. Most of the CC folks I know won't be OC-ing on a regular basis, if at all. The majority are looking forward to not being charged with brandishing if we inadvertently expose our weapon(s) to the sheeple.

Twenty minutes?!!! Holy crap!!! That's Suh-weet!!!

Here in the Sooner State, we are lucky to get ours within 90 days!

Yes, I now do CC all the time. I've never really been comfortable with OC, makes me feel like a target, so when a murder occurred at the next major intersection north of here, I decided it was time to get a CC permit. Due to recent events, I decided that it was time to upscale and carry my 9UC with Federal Premium +P, 147 JHPs instead of my .380.
