Understanding Constitutional Carry: What It Means and Whether It’s Right for You
What is Constitutional Carry?
Constitutional Carry, also known as “permit-less carry,” has gained popularity in recent years—but what does it actually mean? Simply put, it allows law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed handgun without obtaining a permit or license. Many support this concept as a reflection of Second Amendment rights, arguing that the right to “keep and bear arms” should not require government approval. From a personal freedom standpoint, this is seen by many as a major win.
