Three More States Will Let You Carry a Concealed Weapon Without a Permit
Two Midwestern states—Ohio and Indiana—have just stopped requiring a permit to carry a concealed firearm in public. These changes come on the heels of Alabama doing the same.
This brings the number of states that allow permit-free concealed carry up to 24.
Makes sense, right?
If you can legally own a firearm, you should be able legally to take it outside your home.
Conversely, "may issue" rules—which give law enforcement agencies veto power over whether you can carry a gun—don't really jibe with the right to bear arms (and also seem likely to result in discriminatory enforcement). If you have to ask permission, it's a privilege, not a right.

As in if you can legally own a car you should be able legally to drive it without a license. Or if you can legally own a swimming pool you should be able to legally have it in your yard without a damn fence around it. As for guns, when the Heller case made "militias" you and me and everyone else the Court also allowed for reasonable restrictions - as with cars and swimming pools. But if there's any Supreme Court decision on the Bill of Rights that deserves another look it's that one with its tortured reading of the Second Amendment.
