This is why Charles prefers to simply call it "unlicensed carry".
"Unlicensed carry" has a ring of doing something wrong, at least to me. At a minimum, it presumes that the normative state is to require a license for the exercise of this right.

Couldn't we just call it a "Right to Carry" bill?
Nationally, the key phrase has been well established. "Constitutional Carry" is the phrase, like it or not.
Well I'm going to establish a new brand of coffee "nationwide." I'm calling it "Sludge." The public is going to love it. :thumbsup:

Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

Does constitutional carry mean that career criminals/felons maintain the right to keep and bear arms? No penalty for a career criminal carrying, but not committing a crime at the time? If not, how can it be called constitutional carry? If so, criminals already carry, we know that, but do we want them to?
