When did this change and what caused the change to require permits to excercise a "right"?
Open carry was allowed though wasn't it? Not sure who said it, but I think it was someone importantWikipedia.
Laws banning the carrying of concealed weapons were passed in Kentucky and Louisiana in 1813, and other states soon followed: Indiana (1820), Tennessee and Virginia (1838), Alabama (1839), and Ohio (1859). Similar laws were passed in Texas, Florida, and Oklahoma.[12]
Did I hear someone call for a history lesson?
Almost right off the git go, Colonial Southern America.
Started in the South and what caused it was slavery/racism.
Blacks (African Americans), even if free, could only bear arms with permission. This continued after the Civil War with Jim Crow and the Son of Ham laws.
In Indiana, while concealed carry was prohibited shortly after statehood, excepting travel, the carry license was implemented in 1935 as part of the Uniform Firearm Act (model legislation drafted in a faculty lounge at Yale, IIRC). It was a hold over from the influence of the Klan which still held sway in part of Indiana even after the Stephenson scandal. The license was thought to be a way to control Catholics and Blacks.
The legitimate UFA motivation was to combat "gangsterism" which government caused by implementing Prohibition. Government creates problems and then proposes more problems masked as solutions. Such as it always has been.
I believe you could open carry. This was probably determined more by local athorities. What say Kirk?Open carry was allowed though wasn't it? Not sure who said it, but I think it was someone important
Only someone up to no good would conceal carry. Something like that
