We've long been a permitless open carry state but still required a permit for conceal carry which kind of makes it a bear to carry in the winter for those without a CC permit. I believe just about the only thing that has prevented it from happening before is they don't want to lose the money they make on the permits.
Now on to the house
I believe Gov Bevin will sign it if reaches his desk

In fact I didn't think to look on the The Courier Journal's website but now that I have I'm not finding anything on it. Odd

I find myself conflicted about "free guns", but probably no better than anything else the Govt gives away for free.

Do these Moms realize they can now carry, thereby better protecting their kids?
Dumbass caterwauling dogpacking idiots.
I'm waiting for our Colorado Dems to really want something bad enough to trade votes on going "Constitutional Carry" for us...
Dem: "You vote for our traffic signal on every intersection for the children proposal and we'll vote for constitutional carry... in the spirit of compromise, of course."

Glad to see the rise in numbers. Not sure why that article had the part 2 listed as (appeared to me) better than "status quo". For Montana, you'd just about want it the opposite for the potential of needing to defend yourself. For the other two states, you can even do that in California (in a locked container, but "locked container" is a pretty liberal definition).

Every day, I take my permit out of my wallet, and give it an admiring look. It is, after all, what keeps me from shooting a hole in my business. Thank you, permit. Thank you.

Gov. Bevin said Friday afternoon to Gray TV that he would sign the bill.
"It doesn't break new ground. It simply says that people do indeed have the right to keep and bear arms," said Gov Bevin. "... For those people who are offended at this idea and don't like it, there are other places in America where they could live."

I was SO hoping that Republicans in Virginia would pass something like this when they were in charge. But, the Virginia Republican party was split between Republicans who believe in Constitutional rights and Northern Virginia Republicans who were for the most part Democrats with Rs after their names.
But, I'm pretty sure that we've lost that chance for quite a few years because the Dems are likely going to take back the whole mess in Virginia in the coming election.
Governor Black Face (HEY! It's gunpowder residue from my exercising my Second Amendment rights, because I BELIEVE in common sense gun laws!) Northam would veto a bill like that so fast that it wouldn't even be funny.

Biased reporting much? Shameful.
There was one point in the article that talked about how come concealed weapons came to be regulated (sample from the copyrighted article for educational purposes):
The state first prohibited carrying concealed weapons way back in 1813 when it passed a law forbidding “pocket pistols, dirks, large knives and sword canes,” according to the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society.
That law was later struck down by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, but in 1850, the new Kentucky Constitution gave the legislature authority to regulate concealed weapons. And in 1854, the legislature banned them.
This just illustrates my confirmed reluctance to tinker with Constitutions in general. Any Constitution. You never know what the heck they'll screw up in their self-righteous fervor to Do Good and Make Us Behave Like Good Little Children.

Further proof that people who don't understand guns (or English) should not attempt to write laws pertaining to firearms. If I had a firearm that would only fire 11 times out of a 20-round magazine, I'd be heading to the gunsmith ASAP. I suspect that what this legislative brain trust intended was to require that a person be able to HIT a target 11 times out of 20 shots. Even then ... how large is the target, and what's the distance?

I would assume the same that they use for the CC test.
B-27 target at 7 yards.
11 hits out of 20 shots
You would have to be the worst shot in the world to not be able to do that, but people do fail it. That fact scares the heck out of me.

:laugh: I wonder what their enforcement mechanism is supposed to be, on these permitlessly carry-concealing non-permit-holder holders. :laugh: If you fail to successfully range fire your firearm at the firearm firing range, do they cancel your permitless permit, so that you're no longer permitted to have permission to permitlessly (concealedly) carry?
It also sounds like they're all for permitlessly open-carrying, since they're making it so hard to permitlessly non-open-carry. Right?

I am sure if you asked that question on an instructor's forum you would get all sorts of stories.

What I tell people is that if you want to see an example of why some don't need to be around guns is to go to an indoor range, walk into a shooting stall and look up.

Does anybody besides me, this old crotchety coot stuck in his ways, think that legally-required "proficiency tests" are inherent infringements?
I can see them as individual requirements of individual instructors, but not as a matter of law.

Permits/licenses are an infringement. It should go without saying that a proficiency test to exercise a constitutional right is an infringement.

I hear that all the time. Training is recommended, but it should not be required. Otherwise, it becomes another way the govt makes you ask permission.

Opponents worry lawmakers were too quick to pass the bill.
They've only been debating it for the past 10 years!

Congrats!

Kind of an update
The law went into effect a couple of weeks ago. Actually went into effect June 27th, not July 1st.
No blood in the streets.
No Wild West duels in the street either.
Body shops are not reporting thousands of cars full of bullet holes.
The usual suspects are still shooting the usual suspects.
Life goes on.
