No one should need a permit to exercise a fundamental human right.
Given that I live in plain old-fashioned reality rather than the America our founding fathers fashioned, I've got permission from Colorado to keep and bear arms. I don't need a permit to carry openly, which I do a third or half the time. No one's ever asked to see my permit, but it's there if needed.
I don't ever leave the house without carrying a gun. In the first place, rights are like muscles and IQ points: they benefit from regular, frequent exercise; in the second, the older I get, the easier it turns out to be to rely on good habits rather than decisions; in the third, I'd greatly prefer to lug around a gun and not need it than need it and discover I've left it home.
I'm very glad to see Arizona is on the brink of enacting Constitutional carry. That should be the norm in all 50 states.
