Exactly.

No exclusions.

Which does not mean it is all inclusive. It means that there is unfortunately room for interpretation.

Proving your elligible because of a past criminal history or charges can be a hassle, but the requirement exists. The records should not be hard to find. Just contact the court where the event occured and get them to proivde you a certified copy of the disposition. If it was military records, then you just have to contact the records branch to get one.

No decision to rights. You have the right to own firearms in your home an even carry them in your vehicle without a license. What you are getting with a CHL is a privilege to carry concealed on your body.

Uh... "Shall not be infringed".

Infringement on keeping and bearing, yes, but the method of bearing is not defined, so I believe that concealed carry is a priveledge on top of just bearing them openly.
