Anything that affects the CCW permit industry's ricebowl is gonna be argued. I've encountgered people here who had no idea you could carry w/o permit. (Most people misunderstand what rights are anyway.) The CCW ads they hear on the radio and the TV talking headslead the uninitiated to assume permits are 'required'.Open carry is 'whispered' in secret places... a mysterious rumor.
It must be remembered that many noobs come here from no-gun, anti-gun states and municipalities. Omission of 'fact' is a common occurance, as is misrepresentation of those facts. Hell... most of the country is just waking up to the 'fact' that Starbucks complies with state laws as tho this is something new. Sadly... Joe 'n Jane Sixpack are generally oblivious. Even here.
