Finally, they got it right here with constitutional carry but I always conceal as I don't want to give away the element of a criminal knowing or not knowing if I am armed fumy thing is that crime rates have dramatically decreased since that was passed.

[@danieldigiuseppe7912]

I usually tell the story when I see a video like this. Just to let people know what can happen. The police and the courts seem almost like a machine they just interpret the law and go from A to B. And it depends on the cop too. At the time of the arrest. Another cop pulled the cop and their superior into an office. I could see them and hear them through a cracked door. He pleaded with them not to charge me. But they wouldn't budge. Always remembered that.

[@thegrey8643]

The statement, 'shall not be infringed', is the most confusing statement of all time, to politicians and the supreme court.

[@TheBUGZNTA]

And to trump. He made an executive order to ban bump stocks that was eventually overturned in court. Voted for him 3 times now and his stance on 2A issues is not one of them.

But "A well regulated militia" isn't? Sounds clear to me. That's what the police are. There were none then.

[@nolangillentine773]

Because they don't want to understand it and they certainly don't want us to.

[@thegrey8643]

@ correct. And it’s odd that in all these years the public never thought to call them out on it in mass.

The coma has meaning 💯the right of the people shall not be infringed.

[@proudamerican1985]

I think everyone should be able to own a gun even a felon and longs as your not on probation or on parole or in custody all your rights should be reinstated

[@p7hk9]

Let’s not forget about the machine gun registry that Reagan closed. How about opening that back up so we can have legal full auto for a reasonable price? I really want a BAR.

[@StrangeSilverware]

I live in crumby California so it won’t help me. Shouldn’t Trump just give national right to carry and then pass a law immediately

[@beanthasavage7882]

I hope we get nationwide reciprocity

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

The bill of rights is what theyre trying to violate the hardest

[@adirondacker007]

I'm a commercial contractor in Southern New Hampshire. If, in the course of my day, I need to go into Massachusetts, I first need to go home and leave my EDC. So if I know I need to go to Massachusetts at, say 11 am, it's easier to just not carry at all. Thus, Massachusetts gun laws effectively infringe on my rights in my home state.

“Shall not be infringed” seems pretty clear to me. People that do not understand those words should go aaaallllll the way over there.

[@gregblau8082]

The reciprocity map is the only time I live in a red state. To be completely honest some regulations are necessary but law abiding citizens deserve constitutional carry. My wife works weekends and we have young kids so there's never a good time for me to take the 2 day ccw class, besides the fact that you're shelling out a good $500 every 3 years just to exercise your rights

[@azccwonline]

Thanks for the breakdown and info. Knowing the rules of engagement and each states self-defense "rules" of engagement is essential.

He made this promise during his last term and he didn't do it even when he had Republican majority his first two years. We will see actually does this, this time around.

This is Trump 2.0. A whole new beast. A lot of people have pissed him off. This would be a huge middle finger to most of those people and he knows it.

[@anitacoco7542]

Considering he had to fight all the false accusations, investigations, 2 impeachments and endless fake allegations his first term, there is only so much time to get your agenda implemented.

[@jennoscura2381]

​@@alaefarmestatesllcYea, it sounds like Trump will be worse this time around. I was hoping Kamala would win so she would deschedule marijuana so I could legally own a gun without having to give up my medication. But hey, Republicans don't want a leftist pot smoker like me to have guns.

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

The fact that my NYS permit isn’t good in NYC (where the odds of me needing a self protection tool is greatly increased) drives me nuts. I hope this fixes that. I don’t want to have to shell out another $600 for application fees, finger prints, and then wait over a year after submitting all of the paperwork to be approved or denied.

[@DavidA20200]

I’m worried with the three RINOs as Senate majority leader nominees nothing will get through to President Trump’s desk.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

He can just executive order constitutional permitless carry nationwide. Frankly it doesnt need to be a law that gets passed they already passed the law.after 1776 it just needs to be enforced all we have to do is enforce 2a the way it is and the permits go away in every state due to them being an infringement a stumbling block in the way. Democrats cant get the votes they aborted too many babies and so theyre like 5 million votes short of the popular vote becaise they aborted all tgeir 5 million voters
