2. No more "prohibited places"

Basically, the restrictions would have to be based on something in the physical environment that it would not be safe to have guns around. They could not be restricted based just on someone not liking guns, and/or the false notion that "gun free zones" make people safe.

What I would be willing to give up - a slight increase in training required to get a license. I'm not a fan of allowing just anyone to carry a gun without any type of qualification. The fact that there are qualifications, and that those who meet them are the most law-abiding group in the state, makes it easier to relax the restrictions that are already in place. Besides, if you're going to carry a gun for self defense, part of the shooting qualification should include drawing from a holster (IMO).
