Charlie T Waite Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 HB 1169 would eliminate the requirement to obtain a permit in order to lawfully carry. This bill recognizes a law-abiding adult’s unconditional Right to Keep and Bear Arms for self-defense in the manner he or she chooses. HB 1169 will make the current permitting system optional to allow citizens to obtain permits and take advantage of reciprocity agreements with other states. HB 1310 would allow individuals who possess a valid concealed weapons license to carry on school property under certain circumstances. Self-defense is a fundamental right of every person. The basic function of the Second Amendment is to protect the ability of law-abiding people to fight back effectively against those who would wrongfully deprive us of life and liberty. That right does not end at any arbitrary boundary. Charlie T Waite Link to comment
Smoken D Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That law went into effect here in Missouri this January 1st. Just remember other states may not reconize your right to carry and you may still need a proper CCW permit for those states. Always check and make sure if traveling through other states.

Charlie T Waite Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 The state will still offer a proper CCW permit to cover those who travel outside the state. CTW Link to comment
The Shoer 27979 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 More and more states are going to constutinal carry Link to comment
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm not gonna hold my breath here in Texas. We just got SOME open carry here, but it turned out to be a step backward. (More and more places posting against open AND concealed carry) And being law abiding people, we have to obey it. Link to comment
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 We encountered that here in Tennessee a couple of years ago. After their initial loss of clientele and some places actually closing, it seems to be turning around. Patience and firm refusal to do business with those who would deprive us of our rights, and letting them know why every time can be an answer!! Link to comment

Charlie T Waite Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 North Dakota: Constitutional/Permitless Carry Bill Headed to Governor Burgum! Today, House Bill 1169 passed the North Dakota Senate with a 34-13 vote! HB 1169 now heads to Governor Doug Burgum (R) for his consideration. Introduced by state Representative Rick Becker (R-7), HB 1169 would eliminate the requirement to obtain a permit in order to lawfully carry. HB 1169 would make the current permitting system optional to allow citizens to obtain permits and take advantage of reciprocity agreements with other states. This bill recognizes a law-abiding adult’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms for self-defense in the manner he or she chooses. Self-defense situations are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate. Accordingly, a law-abiding adult’s right to defend himself or herself in such situations should not be conditioned by government-mandated time delays and taxes. Your NRA-ILA would like to thank all the North Dakota legislators who supported HB 1169. Your NRA-ILA would especially like to thank Representative Todd Porter and Senator Kelly Armstrong for their tireless efforts on behalf of the law-abiding gun owners of North Dakota. Please contact Governor Burgum and politely urge him to sign HB 1169 into law! Also, please stay tuned to your email inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates on this bill. Link to comment

Charlie T Waite Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 BISMARCK -- Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill into law allowing qualified people to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, his office announced late Thursday night. The Republican governor signed the so-called “constitutional carry” bill, which allows those who are not otherwise prevented from having a Class 2 concealed weapons permit and have had a state Department of Transportation-issued ID for a year to carry a concealed firearm. North Dakota currently offers Class 1 and Class 2 permits with reciprocity with other states, but House Bill 1169 is only effective in North Dakota. Critics of the bill said other everyday activities, such as driving, require a government-issued license. But supporters said it reaffirms a constitutional right, and noted the Class 2 permit only requires the completion of an open-book test and a criminal records check. North Dakota has a rich heritage of hunting and a culture of deep respect for firearm safety. As a hunter and gun owner myself, I strongly support gun rights for law-abiding citizens,” Burgum said in a statement issued after 9 p.m. Thursday. “House Bill 1169 allows citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution.” Burgum encouraged those considering carrying a concealed weapon to enroll in a gun safety course. The law takes effect Aug. 1. Charlie Link to comment

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Such news would undoubtedly lead to severe bouts of dyspepsia if the "fearless leaders" of our state ever get wind of it. Link to comment
