There are multiple articles online about the most gun friendly states.
None of the articles match up and list the same states in the top 10, or top 20. What are the most gun friendly states? |

FL isn’t top, but it’s probably up there. Open Carry needs to be passed, even if it’s not the preference for some.

NH. Ten minutes and you're out the door.
Open carry, concealed carry. License, what license? |

Georgia. Constitutional carry. Can carry everywhere other than government building. Guns not allowed signs can be ignored. License to carry no longer needed. But good to have to bypass background check. Years ago Georgia was one of only a few states that even offered concealed carry license. Most states had no way to legally carry concealed. Also can carry automatic knives.

RE the NH posts.
The big thing with NH is we don't have federal gun laws on our books. Lots of states, even pro gun states mimic the feds with NFA and gun free zones. DON'T PUT FED LAWS ON STATE BOOKS. NH does have a long list of gun free zones though. 1. Courthouses 2. There is no 2 or 3 or 4 etc |

Show me a state that has better gun laws now than the current worst state had 100-years ago.
The best states have but a shadow of the freedoms every state had 100-years ago. More government == less freedom. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jackthom8: A better question is which state is most gun friendly AND mostly majority white so you don't have to actually have to shoot someone. It's not a majority/minority thing, it's a leftist "Soros" district attorney. 95% white/black/yellow/brown/green if there's a liberal district attorney the crime rate soars and self defense events are charged as crimes. The government at all levels is tyrannical and corrupt, just some places more or less. |

He's been reelected, yet he continues to sign pro gun, conservative legislation. Some RINO,eh? |

I’m not so sure about that 1924 was well after a lot of states began adopting gun control to keep undesirables as they saw it unarmed. Since the 1980/1990s the trend has been reversing them in the sense of carry rights |

Supporting the devil’s lettuce is also a good indication that your state is headed behind the blue curtain. Trapping bans almost almost always precede gun bans. Colorado and Massachusetts in 1996. California in 1998. Washington state in 2000. Hawaii, New Jersey, and Rhode island had trapping in decades preceding that, although Rhode Island and New Jersey have legalized species specific raccoon fooldhold traps. |
