If you would have just told us the state you are in, I am sure someone could have provided you a link or other info regarding the state laws.
Here - look it up your own self. Just click on your state.

Depends on your state. Some states (like Alaska and Vermont, only outside city limits in Montana, and now I *think* some parts of Texas) let you carry a concealed handgun with no permit.
In places like Hawaii, you can't own a rifle locked in a safe in your house without a permit.
But if I were you I'd get one now, because you prolly won't be able to for long.

It all depends on the state. And a bit of advice, don't just buy a gun, take a course on how to effectively use the gun in self defense.

Depends on state law.

you have a constitutional right to have a gun ... the implications are that you never want to threaten a person with a gun and you never want to use it unless you dont have the option to run away or the threat has a gun ... shoot to kill if the situation ever arises or plan on being sued.

What state do you live in? Visit your statehouse online and view the law code or search it for what you seek.
