Coincidentally enough, I submitted my application today for a CCW permit. Luckily I live in Colorado which is a ‘shall issue’ state. Even without a CCW permit, it is lawful in CO for me to carry a gun as long as it is in plain sight. I have never tested this by wearing a .45 on my hip to the grocery store because I am sure someone who doesn’t know the law would call the police.
I used to live in Maryland where gun laws are so restrictive that you practically need a signed note from God Almighty to even have one in your house- forget about carrying it, openly or concealed.
Now that I live in a state that trusts me with a gun, and trusts me to defend myself with it, I feel better- free.
