Which state in america is the most gun friendly and represents a true picture of america ?

Pretty sure you can't even open carry in Texas without a permit.

If our constitutional carry bill goes through, I'd throw kentucky in the hat.

Ohio.

The gun laws aren't as good some of the others, but they are good, and we're fairly representative of the country as a whole. It's why we're perpetually a swing state in every election.

Ohio has made some large steps in the right direction over the last few years!

Remember the +30 round may was a machine gun law. LMAO

NH ... constitutional carry now. Never needed a permit to open carry. Concealed carry was a shall issue. Hunting with suppressors. Cash and carry in regards to a background check, (10 minutes).

Knives, they are all legal. 18 years old to carry, etc, etc ,etc.

My beloved New Hampshire.
Arizona, VT, Maine and Alaska are also Tier 1 gun friendly
4/2/2017 8:08:36 AM EDT

Right now I'd say AZ probably takes it.

Alaska right behind it.

Florida and Texas would be top tier if they had Open Carry.

If OK would move to constitutional carry I think we'd be in there.

Hell, that's about the only gun law we have outside of sporting limitations like no lead for water fowl etc.

I'd guess that depends on your opinion of true America.  I'd imagine most states have an area that would fit someone's idea of "true America".  Going from rural to city with your opinion going right to left.

Gun laws AZ, or AK.  NMs aren't bad but we could use some work.

Although I'd probably have to give this, specific, prize to Arizona.

TN, KY, IN are all pretty good.

There's a good shooting culture in southern Indiana where I live.  USPSA is popular.  If I wasn't sicker than a dog I'd be shooting a match this morning.

I'd have to agree.  The only thing that may edge us out is you can't have a loaded rifle in a vehicle.  You can have it on the seat next to you with a pile of magazines on top of it, but you can't insert it into the magwell.  Stupid hunting law that hopefully we'll change.

Constitutional carry, all NFA items allowed. However, there are several anti-gun bills pending, many of which are likely to pass.

Bloomberg wants to make an example of Maine. He lost big in our recent election, but he's not giving up.

No complaints about Idaho.

Constitutional carry for residence.

No NFA restrictions.

Alaska or Texas probably, Alasakans are the friendliest people I've met anywhere. They would for the most part give you the shrits off their backs if you needed one. Plus Alaska is a place with some elbow room, and I really like that!

Ohio is probably the best mix of everything. It's delightfully average in every way. There's a little bit of (almost) every state present there. It really is a microcosm of America as a whole. 

Why do you ask, out of curiosity?

What, no love for Utah up in this bitch? They may have concealed carry permits, but on the other hand they actively work to get said permits accepted by as many other states as possible. That'll have a lot of value when national reciprocity passes.

Arizona is probably first.

Missouri is quite good; only issue is that OC requires a permit in municipalities that previously banned it. Good thing is that those are nearly all miserable yuppie-infested dumps, and CC is permitless statewide.

Yeah it's not great...but if you have a carry permit it goes away.

Obviously prevents it from being top tier.....but the application and support of Castle Doctrine far outweighs that and moves it up.

I'm biased obviously.

Interesting. I want to do the same thing when I eventually make my way to the UK. I have almost no interest in doing or seeing most of the touristy things (it wouldn't bother me if I never set foot in London, for example). 

The problem is...what do you do for a couple of weeks? There's only so much "real America" (or Britain?) you can really discover without actually living there. 

I feel like it would be easier if you had a friend stateside who could take a couple of weeks off with you, and show you around. Best would be having you stay with him (for the full American experience ) instead of living out of a hotel. Maybe take you fishing, camping, 4-wheeling, shooting...stuff like that. I dunno. Otherwise, you're going to spend a couple few weeks eating at restaurants, seeing museums, and other "normal" touristy things people do, because you don't know what else there is to do. Except now you'll be doing it in areas without millions of people and an abundance of choices. 

Tricky problem. It's actually one I want to solve myself, in reverse.

My state is shaped like a gun or a dick depending on the angle.

Virginia is way up there.

Shall-issue ccw
No-permit open carry
No AWB
Pre-emption of local gun ordinances
VCDL
Strong gun culture outside the cities and NoVA

It just gets overlooked because of the Dem governor and two Dem Senators.  The state legislature is under solid Republican control. I think 11 of the 15? Congressmen are Republican.  Northern Virginia is heavily skewed due to all the fed .gov employees.
