Oh PLEASE let this be the next big pro-gun movement. Hat-tip to Kim for pointing out that Alaska has scrapped their concealed carry registration scheme for a "Vermont style" law. By "Vermont style", they mean that a permit will no longer be required by law abiding citizens to carry a concealed firearm. (Actually Vermont never had any such restriction on a person's freedom in the first place.) You have a gun, you carry it. It's that simple.

I relish the thought that one day more states may no longer require citizens to ask the government for permission, and pay the obligatory tax just to exercise their Second Amendment rights. In Alaska's case, this will no doubt exhibit the "Dodge City" cry, a favorite among gun grabbers. "They'll be shooting each other in the streets!" It was gun grabber DA Hynes who claimed, "Brooklyn was like Dodge City," while he was zealously prosecuting Charles Dixon for saving his son's life. I wonder if the good people of Dodge City ever get offended by the slight. Perhaps a slander suit is in order.

Any way, I digress. Congrats to Alaska and all it's citizens on this pro-Second Amendment win. I am truly envious of you today.
