9 states with live Constitutional carry bills..

[Texasgrillchef]

Colorados constitutional carry bill has died.

 

[Texasgrillchef]

There are actually several other states that have CC bills submitted. Minnesota, and Michigan to name two of several others. However I didn’t include them as they probably won’t even get heard in committee.

Indiana Senate passed constitutional carry 30-20. Goes to Governor’s desk.

Yep so two states headed to Governor now. Ohio and Indiana.

Next up is Alabama, Georgia and Nebraska coming to the finish line in the legislature.

After them it should be South Carolina .

Florida, and North Carolina are iffy right now.

Maryland… I doubt it.

Pretty wild half of the country no longer will require a permit to carry before long.

Looks like they finally were able to get by the rhino Liz Brown who's going to be "Taking Names"

If we get Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina on board that will give us 27, over half the USA.

If PA and LA get Republican Gov elected in November 2022, then PA and LA will get CC passed in 2023. That will give us 29 states.

If we can get to 34 states, it’s possible that we could get another Constitutional Amendment to force CC nationwide. It takes 34 states to ratify an ammendment,

DC-W's post #45 addresses " pretty soon half the country ..... " . I'll address this more in the other sorta parallel thread , but big difference between Half the States vs Half the People .

Well there is half the land, half the states and half the people.

We have more then 50% of the US state land that is CC. Alaska and Texas the two biggest reasons why we secure more then 50% of the Geography.

Even if you just say continental 48, we still have more then 50% of the geography as CC.

Looks like soon we will have more then 50% of the states. If Ohio, Nebraska and Indiana as well as South Carolina passes cc.

Florida and Colorado are dead this year. However next year if Republican governors win the election we should pick up PA and LA.

However population wise. We won’t hit 50% until we get Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, LA and PA. At that point we will be just slightly above the 50% of point. If we pick up Florida next year. Then we definitely will be above the 50% point.

It’s a nice goal to achieve… we will get there eventually.

Georgia HB1358 passes the house… headed to Senate.
Georgia Senate has already Passed SB319 now sitting in House committee

Now if one side or the other can get one of the bills passed through. They are virtually almost identical. Georgia can become the 25th state to have CC.

I say 25th because Ohio and Indiana Have their CC bills sitting on the Gov desk awaiting signature.

(EDIT) Sorry, was posted above, about Alabama... missed it. Here's another story:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/alabama-joins-georgia-20-other-214618754.html

"Unlike most states who are doing everything in their power to make it harder for law abiding citizens, Alabama is reaffirming our commitment to defending our Second Amendment rights," the governor said in a statement. "I have always stood up for the rights of law abiding gunowners, and I am proud to do that again."

Alabama becomes the 22nd state to not require a permit to conceal and carry a firearm, according to the Pew Research Organization. Last year, six states - Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, Tennessee, Texas and Utah - passed bills bypassing the permit process for some firearms.

Also this week, Georgia's state House and Senate passed a similar bill not requiring a permit to conceal and carry a handgun, a measure expected to eventually be signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp (R).

In Alabama, the new law eliminates "the requirement for a person to obtain a concealed carry permit to lawfully carry a pistol," according to a text of the passed bill.

 

[Matlack]

Apparently two fold . The Leadership is very proud of their recent Red Flag that passed , and is not inclined to back controversial pro gun measures this session . And the financial and politically powerful Tourist Industry doesn't want to frighten potential tourists with too many visably armed locals .

It is super easy to get a concealed permit in FL. If you want to get one you can. I think it is around 10% of residents have their permit.

 

[Biggfoot44]

Yes , FL was state of the art in mid '80s. But the expectations for 2A have moved forewards since , while FL remained static .

 

[DC-W]

FL has dumb dumb requirements for fingerprints.

Rejected fingerprints I did for someone because I’m not a law enforcement entity. Meanwhile, Utah allows anyone to do them and Virginia didn’t care when I’ve done those either.

Indiana HB1296 (HEA1296) reached the Governors desk today. A 7 day clock now starts to sign or veto. Or on the 8th day it automatically becomes law.

If you look he either signs the bills the same day he gets them, or the very next day. He has yet to veto a bill, or let it auto become law.

So we should have word today or tomorrow.
