Summary
Thirty states issue concealed carry permits to the law abiding citizens who ask for them. Two third of us live in those “shall-issue” states where we were issued 14 million permits to carry a concealed firearm in public. We paid to exercise that “right.” The state mandated fees and training requirements vary widely from state to state. States that imposed more hours of training also imposed high fees. Ordinary citizens responded to those costs in predictable ways. Millions of us were discouraged from legal concealed carry due to the costs and restrictions.
Politicians can impose all kinds of requirements before citizens receive permission to carry a concealed firearm in public. The common excuse is public safety .......
The links shown at the bottom of the full summary article go to the pages of the main analysis parts one through four, which deal with many details. There is little doubt that there are a large numbers of cases where the costs and hurdles involved in obtaining "permission" to carry a defensive firearm greatly limit uptake, where constitutional carry is unavailable as an option.
