A movement long championed by the NRA, constitutional carry eliminates the need for government permission before a law-abiding individual can exercise their right to bear arms.
The NRA's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) applauds Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine for signing S.B. 215, NRA-backed legislation that allows law-abiding gun owners to carry a firearm without a permit from the state.
When, in 2010, Arizona became the third state in the union to adopt constitutional carry, it was a national story. In 2021, five states were added to the rolls and it barely made the news because the impact has been good.
