Constitutional carry

Constitutional carry is a legal term and a conservative-libertarian-prepper-Patriot political term that means that the Second Amendment is the only needed so-called "license" for Concealed carry and Open carry of weapons including firearms, such as handguns (pistols and revolvers) and long guns (rifles and shotguns), knives and any other form of hand-carried weapons.

Constitutional carry means that the carrying (see "Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms") on one's person or in/on one's vehicle of firearms, concealed or not, is generally not restricted by the law. A constitutional carry state is a free state from a Second Amendment unalienable rights perspective.

The legal term "Constitutional carry" describes the unalienable Bill of Rights legal interpretation that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution allows/permits no regulations or restrictions (see "Shall not be infringed" on gun ownership.

In actual practice, the 2008 United States Supreme Court decision called "District of Columbia v. Heller" suggests that some state or city-county government controls may be allowed, at least as to certain types of weapons.

States Who Implemented Constitutional Carry

Vermont: Since the Constitution was first ratified in 1789, Vermont was the only state to permit "Constitutional carry". From 1789 until the 1800s, Constitutional carry was the law of land. During the 20th century, all states except Vermont had legislated gun control bans on concealed carry. In most states, however, there was an exemption for those citizens with a permit. Thanks to Vermont's strictly worded state constitution,[1] liberal "[[gun control|gun grabbers" have not been able to have any restriction added on the method of how one carries a firearm. Thus Vermont was the only free state in the nation from an Second Amendment unalienable rights perspective. For this reason, Constitutional carry is often still referred to as "Vermont carry" among old persons.
