Currently, nine states have bills working through the system. Some will fail, but residents in several states just might soon be able to carry without a permit.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"113584\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nKentucky and Oklahoma seem likely to be the next states to allow Constitutional Carry. In fact, Oklahoma passed a bill in both houses by a large majority in 2018. However,\u00a0Gov. Mary Fallin vetoed the bill. This year, members reintroduced the bill, which has already passed the house and the Senate\u00a0Appropriations Committee. The bill now head to the full Senate for a vote, according to KTUL<\/a>. The bill is expected to pass, which will send it to Gov.\u00a0Kevin Stitt's desk, who has stated he is likely to sign the bill into law.\r\n\r\nIn Kentucky, SB 150<\/a> has passed through the Senate and currently sits in the\u00a0Kentucky House Judiciary Committee. If passed,\u00a0Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin will likely sign the bill, as he was a featured speaker at the National Rifle Association's meeting in Louisville. In fact, Bevin claimed support for both the Second Amendment and Constitutional Carry on the campaign trail.\r\n
Other States Considering Constitutional Carry Bills<\/h3>\r\nCurrently, 14 states allow Constitutional Carry, after South Dakota made it legal last month. However, legislators in numerous other states are considering similar bills. These states include\u00a0Alabama, Iowa, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio and Michigan. In fact, if one more state passes similar legislation, 30 percent of all U.S. states will allow Constitutional Carry. If all of the states pass this legislation, almost half the country will allow carry without a permit.\r\n\r\nHowever, only a few states will likely pass these bills. Also, the other side continues to work against these bills, as well as to pass strict gun control laws in other areas.\r\n\r\nConstitutional Carry allows residents to carry concealed without obtaining a permit. However, those wanting to carry when visiting other states must have a permit. So, the states that allow this form of carry continue to issue concealed carry permits for reciprocity.","post_title":"Constitutional Carry Bills Moving Forward in Numerous States","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"constitutional-carry-bills","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:38:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:38:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/02\/26\/constitutional-carry-bills\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":95152,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2018-12-14 07:59:39","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-14 12:59:39","post_content":"While most people consider the Lone Star State to be very pro gun, Texas lawmakers are planning to look at 19 new gun laws<\/a> next year.\n\n[in_content post=\"107746\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nNow gun owners will oppose most of the laws being considered, but some would be good for the pro-gun crowd. This includes \"Constitutional\" carry. However, one bill that lawmakers will consider is a \"red flag\" law.\n\nRed flag laws allow police to remove firearms from people that courts deem as a danger to themselves or others. Sure, police will have to obtain a warrant, but in many cases the burden of proof is quite low. In fact, there have already been issues in some states. In Maryland, Anne Arundel County officers shot a man while trying to seize his firearm under the law. The man's sister requested the order, but his niece claimed later that her uncle \"wouldn't hurt anybody,\" according to CBS News<\/a>.\n\nGov. Greg Abbott originally launched<\/a> the debate over red flag laws in Texas after the Santa Fe High School shooting. However, Abbot has since pulled his support on this issue. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has also said he won't support this law. However, this hasn't stopped two Texas lawmakers from wanting to introduce this bill, claiming that it would include due process for gun owners. Others, of course, believe this would be untrue.\n
Other Bills By Texas Lawmakers<\/h3>\nNow Texans have long openly carried long guns without a permit. However, a permit is required to carry concealed. If Constitution carry is approved, gun owners could carry handguns without having to obtain a concealed-carry permit. Texas lawmakers have introduced this bill before, but it never seems to make it a vote.\n\nAlso, some lawmakers want to pass a law making buying a gun at a gun show without going through a NICS check a misdemeanor. Proponents say they just want to close the \"gun show loophole,\" but opponents say this is simple another way to implement universal background checks.\n\nAnother issue some lawmakers want to consider is 3-D guns. Rep. Terry Canales wants to require makers of 3-D guns to obtain a unique serial number from the from the Texas Department of Public Safety.\n\nNow there are other gun laws being considered by Texas lawmakers. Some might pass, while others won't. However, it is concerning for gun owners that some of these laws are being considered in Texas.","post_title":"Texas Lawmakers to Look at New Gun Laws Next Year, Including Red Flag","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"texas-lawmakers-consider-19-gun-laws","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-07-02 13:26:34","post_modified_gmt":"2024-07-02 17:26:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/12\/14\/texas-lawmakers-consider-19-gun-laws\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

However, you can still obtain a permit to carry<\/a>, which will provide reciprocity in other states that require one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to USACarry<\/a>, \u201cAs long as you are 18 years old or older and not prohibited from possessing a firearm, you are legally allowed to carry concealed under the new Constitutional Carry law. This goes for residents and non-residents of Indiana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a PDF<\/a> on the Indiana State Police website, in order to enjoy permitless carry, you must not be a prohibited person. According to IC 35-47-2-1.5 this includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the most part, it looks as though you should be in good shape so long as you haven\u2019t run afoul of law enforcement<\/a> or the military, are old enough, and would be able to pass a background check (not required).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, this law came just in time to save countless lives. As we now know, the suspect had two rifles, a handgun, and several full magazines. This could have been far worse if not for Indiana constitutional carry and the heroics of one 22-year-old.<\/p>\n","post_title":"UPDATE: Indiana Constitutional Carry for the Win","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"indiana-constitutional-carry","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:28:06","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:28:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/07\/20\/indiana-constitutional-carry\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":94530,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-02-28 07:26:06","post_date_gmt":"2019-02-28 12:26:06","post_content":"The Sooner State has just become the 15th state in the nation to allow Constitutional carry<\/a>.

Oklahoma Constitutional Carry Law<\/h3>\nWith the passage of this law,\u00a0Oklahomans 21 and older can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, as long as they are not prohibited. Military members and veterans can carry at age 18. People convicted of felonies, domestic violence misdemeanors and those adjudicated as having a mental illness still cannot carry a concealed firearm. This bill also does not change any of the prohibited locations, and private property owners and universities can still prohibit carry. Nor, does it change any of the laws regarding use of force or the misuse of a firearms.\n\nAlso, those wanting to carrying in states with reciprocal agreements would still need to obtain a permit, which still would be available.
