I don't know how we didn't score lower. A friend lives in Boston and got a carry license without much hassle... we have to be one of the worst of the "may issue" states.

Pale Ryder · Oct 24, 2013

Vermont or Montana. Maybe about 47 or 48 better than Md. :sad20:

The permitless carry states followed by PA, NH, and any other state not requiring training, prints,exc, and a cheap price tag. Then the rest of the shall-issues, then the may-issues, and DC last.

I was guessing Utah would be #1 but I was pretty close.

I'm not so sure I would agree that AZ was #1 though. I thought somewhere like KY or AR since they have the most reciprocity for residents. But I guess when you factor in NR permit issuance, AZ and UT come out ahead.

I'm actually surprised NJ placed so high. We should be #50 because NJ is a no issue state in reality (only about 1600 permits are in the hands of regular citizens who are not retired cops).

svana · Oct 24, 2013

I'm guessing WY.

rh92 · Oct 25, 2013

Vile Shadow · Oct 26, 2013

Before reading, I'll say Alaska.

gamer_jim · Oct 26, 2013

Before reading: Alaska, Vermont, Arizona (in that order)

Oh Indiana... how I miss you and my lifetime CCW card

10. Indiana
Permit Issuance: 20
Reciprocity: 14
Training Time: 10
Application Fee: 8
Stand Your Ground: 8
Best States for Gun Owners: 8
Duty to Inform: 5
Pre-Emption: 5
Issued to Non-Residents: 5
TOTAL: 83
It seems the Hoosier State is good at more than just college basketball. Residents also know a bit about firearms, with 39 percent owning guns. Indiana scores well all around, with shall-issue licenses available without formal training. Lifetime carry licenses are also available for a nominal cost.
