I didn't refer to concealed carry, open carry or any carry. I said that
in the states that do not require a permit to *own* a firearm (the

How many bad guys (felons, druggies, mentally disturbed) have been
caught and prosecuted with that law?

New York has a similar law for hand guns and it has frequently been
used to ensnare the innocent but unwary into a legal morass that they
didn't really deserve.
