If you live in a state or area where carrying is fully legal and requires no permits or checks then this question shouldn't apply to you.
I am genuinely interested in constructive talking here, so please do not feel I am attacking anyone.
First the second amendment clearly states "Keep and bear arms Shall not be infringed". It is beyond me why anyone would go to get a permit in order to simply use their creator endowed human right.
I have seen a lot of people proud of the fact that they are "exorcising" their right to keep and bear arms, while later admitting that they have a permit.
This means, that they are not exorcising their right. They are using the Privilege given to them by the government (permit). Any time you agree to any form of permits or licensing you lose freedoms.
If I lived in a state that required permits, I would probably open carry or concealed carry without one, since no law, federal or state can supercede, override, limit, restrict, indirectly affect, or stop me from protecting my life, my family's life, and all the while maintaining an ultimate check and balance against a possibly encroaching government.
I can see the obvious reason why you wouldn't do that, the obvious hassle from police etc, that is when you sue them through federal court for infringing on your rights. Spend a good length of time in a law library and you will easily defeat those officers in a court of law. Most of them probably won't even show up.
We need a lot more people disregarding unconstitutional carry laws (in effect not laws at all) for it to work properly.
