Ditto. Think I'll avoid Ohio.

I use a CC permit mostly as a form of insurance. I open carry more often than not, and think it 103% Stupid that I "must" get permission to exercise a human, civil, unalienable and Constitutional right. However, I also recognize that unless I want to either get into a firefight with the cops or go to jail, I need to have certain bases covered. Given the state in which I travel and do business (armed, heavily) and the fact that I have my family to consider and not just myself in regards to the legal consequences of my actions, I held my nose and got the permit.

Now, as for the necessity of the permitting system and the idea that CCW holders don't do dumb things...come work in a gunshop for a week. Passing the CCW class can no more de-activate the Flaming Dumbass gene than I can with a Louisville Slugger. CCW holders can be just as moronic as anyone else.

I have no difficulty with "Vermont Carry." I regard it as the ideal. No permits, no background checks, no waiting periods, no begging your Top Cop for his signature...and one of the lowest crime rates in the country. This, combined with the fact that Police are -vastly- more inclined towards shooting themselves, partners, suspects, and bystanders than are civilian carriers, leads me to believe that I have more to worry about from an armed policeman than from an armed civilian, however they came by their arms.
