CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY: Because Law Abiding Americans Are NOT the Problem

May 24, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

If an American has gone their whole life without a felonious run-in with the law, should the state or city they live in be given the subjective authority to deny them their Second Amendment rights for no reason? The answer is obviously no. All law-abiding Americans should be allowed to exercise their rights without interference. No one would expect the state to license free speech. Why is the Second Amendment different in interpretation than the first? Thanks to the efforts of the NRA and other gun rights organizations, and the common sense of state legislators, half of America’s states now … [Read more...]

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY: Gun Grabber Scare Tactics Fall Flat

April 25, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You hear it every time. When a state is preparing to pass a constitutional carry bill, the gun control crowd begins chanting its mantra “violent crime will increase.” Like a monastic order, or perhaps more like a cult, it never fails. But the evidence just doesn’t agree. At Inside Sources, Ray Nothstine and John Ferebee explain: Since 1997 when the study of right-to-carry (both shall-issue and permitless carry) laws’ impact on crime began, 40 of the 52 studies showed that the implementation of right-to-carry laws either did not increase or coincided with a decrease in violent crime. When … [Read more...]

TIDAL WAVE: Georgia Joins Wave of States Adopting Constitutional Carry

April 13, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Georgia’s governor has signed a bill making Georgia the country’s 25th state recognizing Americans’ natural right to carry a firearm for self-defense. Obviously, those rights belong to everyone, but in the past, most states have restricted them or infringed upon them. Now half of the American states have protected those rights statutorily. Georgia is the fourth state to adopt constitutional carry in 2022, after Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana. Fox News reports: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed a bill into law Tuesday removing the license and background check requirements for gun … [Read more...]

GEORGIA NEXT? Constitutional Carry Advances in Peach State

March 25, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You have already seen three states, Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana, successfully adopt constitutional carry laws this year. Now Georgia is nearing the end stages of its own legislative push for gun rights. The NRA reports that’s in Georgia, a version of its constitutional carry bill has passed the Senate Judiciary Committee. They write: Today [March 24], the Senate Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 1358 as a committee substitute with language from Senate Bill 319. Then, the House Judiciary Committee passed Senate Bill 319 as a committee substitute with language from House Bill 1358. They … [Read more...]

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY FOR INDIANA: 2nd Amendment Secured for Hoosiers

March 23, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Indiana’s governor has signed the state legislature’s Constitutional Carry bill, making the state America’s 24th permitless carry state. Margaret Menge reports for the Shelbyville News: Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed constitutional carry into law Monday night, making Indiana the 24th state to lift restrictions and allow people to carry a handgun without having to get a permit or license. “The Second Amendment has been debated for years, yet time and again our U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed this important constitutional right that I fully support,” Holcomb said in a statement. He … [Read more...]

DEWINE MAKES IT OFFICIAL: Ohio Is the Next Constitutional Carry State

March 15, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio has made the Buckeye State America's 23rd constitutional carry state. On March 14, DeWine signed the Ohio Senate Bill 215, and expanded America's permitless carry corridor to the Great Lakes region. The NRA reports: Today, Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 215 into law. This makes Ohio the 23rd constitutional carry state, and the second to join that group in 2022. Constitutional carry empowers law-abiding citizens who are already otherwise eligible to obtain a carry permit to exercise their right-to-carry without having to go through government red tape and … [Read more...]

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY: Georgia Joins Wave of States Seeking to Eliminate Permits

March 14, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Next door, Alabama has become the first state in 2022 to pass constitutional carry into law (effective January 2023). Around the country, a number of other states including Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, Colorado, Florida are either awaiting governors' signatures or considering constitutional carry legislation. Now Georgia is making its own push to expand the southern permitless carry corridor. Fox 5 Atlanta reports: The Georgia House has approved a bill that would allow gun owners to carry their firearms in public without a permit. House Bill 1358 passed 94-57 on early Friday evening, moving to … [Read more...]

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY: Alabama Becomes 22nd Permitless Carry State

March 11, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has signed a bill making the Cotton State the nation's 22nd constitutional carry state. Fox News reports: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has signed into law a bill which eliminates the requirement of residents in the state to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed pistol. "Unlike states who are doing everything in their power to make it harder for law-abiding citizens, Alabama is reaffirming our commitment to defending our Second Amendment rights," Ivey said in a statement after she signed the measure on Thursday. "I have always stood up for the rights of … [Read more...]

Indiana Poised to Become Latest Constitutional Carry State

March 9, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Lawmakers in Indiana have passed legislation that aims to make the Hoosier State the 22nd state to recognize Americans' rights to carry a firearm without a permit. The NRA-ILA reports: Today, all four conferees signed the Conference Committee Report for House Bill 1296, which contains the constitutional carry language from House Bill 1077. Then, both chambers voted to adopt the report. As such, it has now passed the General Assembly and will soon head to Governor Eric Holcomb’s desk for his consideration. Please contact Gov. Holcomb and ask him to sign House Bill 1296 into … [Read more...]

The Crumbling Case Against Constitutional Carry

December 13, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You know Your Survival Guy is a fan of constitutional carry states. The number of states protecting citizens' rights to carry a firearm without a permit has grown rapidly in the past few years. Writing for Guns in the News, Charles C. W. Cooke explains that the data shows politicians' excuses about constitutional carry are not in line with reality. He writes: There’s an old Monty Python sketch in which a theatrical radio narrator desperately tries to make an exceedingly boring story sound suspenseful and melodramatic. “June the 4th, 1973,” the voice says, “was much like any other summer’s day … [Read more...]
