I didn't realize permitless CCW carry was allowed in any state other than Vermont. Thanks for the information! I actually visit Arizona regularly (my folks live there...), so that's something I should be aware of.

My personal preference for CCW issuance would be to require not only the background check and classroom instruction must states require, but also a competency test at the range (and the test shouldn't be a "gimme&quot .

No concealed carry. HappyMe Jun 2013 #1

I live in a city and support concealed carry under limited circumstances quinnox Jun 2013 #3

So that would be may issue BainsBane Jun 2013 #4

Not only is it may issue, yours is a far more restrictive notion BainsBane Jun 2013 #5

fine, but I don't like the poll options and will leave my answer as pass quinnox Jun 2013 #6

fair enough BainsBane Jun 2013 #7

You raised an important point BainsBane Jun 2013 #9

thank you quinnox Jun 2013 #12

Wow, those rural areas have suddenly gotten very urban BainsBane Jun 2013 #8

Why is the rural / urban divide so important to you? nt hack89 Jun 2013 #16

because it is at the heart of differences of opinion on gun policy BainsBane Jun 2013 #20

Concealed carry is not the issue hack89 Jun 2013 #25

That's not a city BainsBane Jun 2013 #29

It is not rural hack89 Jun 2013 #65

suburban is not a city BainsBane Jun 2013 #68

I don't own guns due to fear hack89 Jun 2013 #73

Thank you for providing that info BainsBane Jun 2013 #13

Likewise! Lizzie Poppet Jun 2013 #14

Sounds quite reasonable to me BainsBane Jun 2013 #22

Well, I don't live in a city, nor even a town, premium Jun 2013 #15

That makes all the difference in the world BainsBane Jun 2013 #21

I don't even carry it when I go into town, premium Jun 2013 #23

See, I have no problem with that BainsBane Jun 2013 #26

I fully support CC, premium Jun 2013 #33

If that were the requirement everywhere BainsBane Jun 2013 #37

Unfortunately, it is not. nt. premium Jun 2013 #51

You are missing your target. GreenStormCloud Jun 2013 #43

I currently live in smallish city (pop ~ 45k) and I support shall-issue CCW with a petronius Jun 2013 #24

45 K is not a city BainsBane Jun 2013 #27

Well, you did not specify what HappyMe Jun 2013 #28

True, but come on, 45K? BainsBane Jun 2013 #30

I lived in a small city in WI. HappyMe Jun 2013 #38

You would never call that I city, would you? BainsBane Jun 2013 #40

I don't know. HappyMe Jun 2013 #57

I'm guessing this is Bain's view of the US.. X_Digger Jun 2013 #61

Negative. That can be a city. NutmegYankee Jun 2013 #53

The lowest possible is 100k BainsBane Jun 2013 #66

Wrong. You presume that the entire country is organized like Minnesota. NutmegYankee Jun 2013 #69

A town isn't a city BainsBane Jun 2013 #72

If I lived in the city of Norwich (40k) or New London (32k), I'd live in a city. NutmegYankee Jun 2013 #74

Fine, if people are going to falsify the poll to promote guns BainsBane Jun 2013 #76

Let me guess. The West side? BainsBane Jun 2013 #34

Nope, Eastsider sarisataka Jun 2013 #44

You qualify regardless BainsBane Jun 2013 #49

The one thing Cities people always agree on... sarisataka Jun 2013 #59

Yes, we are distinguished to have one of the worst police forces BainsBane Jun 2013 #60

The issue here is that CCW holders are actually the safest gun owners. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #32

Why? In some states all it means is you've got a gun in your pocket BainsBane Jun 2013 #36

I consistently bounce back and forth on this subject. And it is never an easy answer. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #41

A resident of my state BainsBane Jun 2013 #45

Of course, obtaining the permit is not difficult at all. You basically fill out some paperwork. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #48

BS BainsBane Jun 2013 #50

I think training and retraining should be compulsory and extensive. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #54

Okay, point taken. BainsBane Jun 2013 #63

They definitely are not safer than those with the good sense to leave them at home. Hoyt Jun 2013 #47

Of course, not having a firearm on you means you will not make a mistake with one. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #56

I support Shall issue bigwillq Jun 2013 #35

I think there are a few situations where a person might need a gun for a short period, but Hoyt Jun 2013 #39

You must be shocked the poll is about 50/50. Liberals disappointing you? n-t Logical Jun 2013 #67

I live in Montana. We don't have cities. ZombieHorde Jun 2013 #42

What About Guns @ otohara Jun 2013 #64

I live in a rural area of Pennsylvania and support Concealed Carry with a permit.... PennsylvaniaMatt Jun 2013 #46

I think universal open carry should be the rule. MrSlayer Jun 2013 #55

I oppose May issue permits because of corruption. NutmegYankee Jun 2013 #58

NOTE, several pro CC respondents have falsified where they live BainsBane Jun 2013 #70

You mean *after* you edited your OP to fit *your* definition of what constitutes a 'city'? X_Digger Jun 2013 #71

I had to edit to account for dishonesty BainsBane Jun 2013 #75

I must delete this poll BainsBane Jun 2013 #78
