quote [ TOPEKA, Kan. ? Kansas will become the fifth state to allow its residents to carry concealed firearms without a permit throughout the state.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback on Thursday signed a bill ending the permit requirement. The change takes effect July 1. The National Rifle Association says Kansas joins Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming in having such a policy. The NRA says Montana and Arkansas have concealed carry without a permit, but not everywhere. ] I am staunchly pro-2nd, but this opens a whole bunch of WTF's for me.
Concealed carry requires classroom and practical training to be effective, I.E. When deadly force is an appropriate response, laws regarding self-defense, zero-sum, ect...
Without proper training required by law... there will be a rise of questionable and unlawful shoots; regardless of good intentions by which I think the bill was passed. Criminals will never abide by gun laws, period. So, it's not them that I'm worried about. It's the assholes who think they're BZ enough to strap on a piece and be Lone Wolf McQuaid, but can't be trusted with a toilet, much less a firearm. What the NRA should be doing is putting those donations to good use and holding free (And/or partially State Funded) licensing/CCW classes to make sure those who do intend to conceal carry can get the proper training before taking on the humongous responsibility of being a CCW holder. CCW holders are generally the cream of the crop, willing to financially support their rights with all the proper and consistent training. They are also extremely knowledgable of all appropriate gun laws. This only bodes bad news for gun owners nationwide, if this Pandora's box is opened further...

Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming have had CC
Alaska -57.8% gun ownership 2.7 gun murders per 100k residents. Tied with New York state one of the most restrictive Gun law states. Middle of the road
Arizona -31.1% gun ownership 3.6 gun murders per 100k residents Just brakes the top ten in a bad way.
Vermont -42.0% gun ownership 0.3 gun murders per 100k residents The lowest in the country
Wyoming -59.7% gun ownership 0/9 gun murders per 100k residents 9th lowest in the country
Notable that DC is it more or less illegal for a civilian to have a gun. It has by far the highest gun murders per capita.
