North Dakota governor has signed legislation making the Flickertail State the next to allow permitless concealed carry. This is the second state this year.
North Dakota joins Vermont, Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, West Virginia, Maine, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri and New Hampshire. Montana and Arkansas have partial permitless concealed carry.
Of course the usual 'blood in the streets' argument was made and rejected.
As more and more states follow suit it is clear that these doomsday predictions are not valid.
With 15+ million licensed carriers it has been clear that the objections to "shall issue" in past few decades were baseless. Now with 10s of millions not needing a license we are seeing the same result. Shootouts over parking spots and fenderbenders are not happening.
Looks like Alabama and South Carolina might be next. Maryland, New Jersey ad nausium are on the wrong side of history.
