Most states allow citizens to be issued a concealed weapon permit. Why not all of them?

Question

In the more than 30 states that do, there has been no problem-except for the criminals that try to mug them.

Answer 1

Different people with different viewpoints gather in different areas of this country. This is why states' rights are so important -- it's much easier to represent a state population's wishes than an entire country as large as the US. If you want to carry a concealed weapon, move to a state where it's ok.

Answer 2

I think that weopons should be banned, except for the police force and people who use them to help others. I live in Australia, and we aren't allowed to carry any guns knives etc. We are so much safer for it being the law. You see Americans having shorter lives because a lot of people get shot or stabbed. But in Australia it's very rare that anyone gets killed by an act of stupidity by weopons. So ban all the citizens from having concealed weopons.

Answer 3

I've always thought it far more ironic that it's harder to get UN concealed weapons permits. The Second Amendment not only gives the right to keep arms, but to BARE them.

Under the Constitution, one should ALWAYS be allowed to carry a weapon UN concealed.

But I guess smarter men than me have fought this battle.

Answer 4

Because your most liberal states don't believe the citizens should be armed...coddle the criminal, let em out on early release, but let the people protect themselves because handguns are TOO dangerous in the hands of the public.

Answer 5

Actually I think all 50 allow it.. its just you have a much better chance of hitting the lotto twice in a row than getting approved in some of them...
