28. States historical concealed carry prohibitions

overthehill vet: I do support a 50 state law on CCW permits {national ccw law}... Some states make it almost impossible to even transport a handgun legally in their state. This is just stupid but it is true.

I think you speak a faulty premise, you can legally carry unloeaded handguns in cartrunks across state lines.
I think you mean concealed carry, that it's 'just stupid' for states to ban carrying concealed firearms by out of staters in their state? wha-happen to states rights? wha-happen to states constitutions?:
.. you better sit down, vet, look at the history of carrying concealed, and how states handled it in the past; you would usurp the power of states legislatures just so a few can carry their sacred gun in their pocket across a state line?:
