No offense, but I wasn't asking you.

Or, to put it another way, I "accept" the requirement that I obtain a CHL in order to conceal-carry, while being adamantly opposed to any license, registration, permission slip, or any other requirement that infringes upon my or anyone else's Constitutional right.
Yes, this includes any and all CHL requirements. I firmly believe that ANY requirement, other than "not convicted and in jail," is a Constitutional violation. However, I have had a CHL of one state or another since I turned 21, because I'm not "Threeper" enough to try "fighting the man" all on my lonesome, and I'm not willing to make a valiant, yet failed, solo stand.
As for all the fuss and worry over how OC should be licensed, so as to not "worry" people or "freak out" businesses, I think I may just go openly carrying tomorrow around town. It's New Mexico, hardly a bastion of conservative thought in comparison to Texas, with far more dedicated dyed-in-the-wool liberals. Yet, I can carry a gun all day, in plain view, and with one solitary exception, I am pretty well welcome in any store in town. No one freaks out.
