Frequently Asked Questions

What is constitutional carry and which states have adopted it?

Constitutional carry, also known as permitless carry, allows individuals to carry firearms openly or concealed without needing a government-issued permit. As of the video's recording, Alabama was the 22nd state to enact constitutional carry, with Indiana, Georgia, and Ohio also considering similar legislation.

What is the significance of the Bruin case before the Supreme Court?

The Bruin case, heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, concerns may-issue licensing for concealed carry permits. A ruling in favor of the plaintiffs could significantly impact states' ability to restrict firearm carry, potentially leading to broader permitless carry rights nationwide.

What are the concerns regarding the ATF's record-keeping practices?

There are significant concerns that the ATF is creating a de facto registry of firearm owners by collecting and retaining records from gun dealers, including out-of-business records and multiple sales reports. This practice is seen as a violation of federal law and a threat to privacy.

How does GOA approach legislative strategy for gun rights?

GOA advocates for demanding unrestricted access to firearms for self-defense, rather than accepting compromises like licensing requirements. This 'all or nothing' approach, they argue, prevents the erosion of rights and allows for future efforts to repeal restrictive laws.

What advice is given to gun owners concerned about privacy and ATF registries?

Gun owners concerned about privacy are advised to patronize small, local gun shops that still use paper systems for firearm transactions. This avoids the digital trail created by computer software, which can be easily exported and potentially used to compile registries.
