what a truly unremarkable thing to be proud of.

You sure do have legislated CCW in Arizona, it is absolutely legal to carry a firearm concealed without any permit whatsoever. The same permit less right is afforded the citizens of Alaska, Wyoming and Vermont. These four states truly embrace the true meaning of the second amendment, the right of the people to bear arms.

I agree with you that all states should allow law abiding, non-felons to carry a concealed firearm without any permit.

I just happen to live in this gun-hater state of Illinois where the politicians just can't get their head around the irrefutable proven truth that CCW reduces crime and saves lives. I envision a day, not too distant, where our state will join the other 49 and allow it's law abiding citizens the choice to protect themselves and their families with a concealed firearm.
