West Virginians can "conceal carry" without permits on May 26, 2016 to become one of many states to do so. And they've been able to open carry without permits for years. IN is far behind. Just look around at the bold teens without regard to laws or life. We need it now more than ever. I had my personal protection permit for years because it used to be a requirement for hunting with handguns. No longer need a permit to use for hunting so let it lapse a few years ago. We need that type of flexibility so we can protect ourselves and loved ones without the wait, the costs and stone walling "clerks" that make applying just down right unpleasant. I don't want to carry all the time. But on occasions I feel the need and wish I had it or better it's not required.
