What Is Constitutional Carry?

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms. However, the interpretation and implementation of this right can vary significantly from state to state. Two terms that often surface in discussions about gun laws are "Constitutional Carry" and "Permitless Carry." While these terms are related, they are not synonymous and understanding the distinction is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the complex landscape of firearm legislation.

*“PC-18” or “PC-21” denotes the age at which an individual is allowed to carry without the need for a permit.

In April 2021, the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a lawsuit against the state of Tennessee challenging the constitutionality of prohibiting 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying a concealed firearm in public or obtaining a permit. On Jan. 23, 2023, attorneys for the state of Tennessee reached an agreed order with the FPC in federal court. The order declares that the state’s restrictions were unconstitutional, and they will no longer be enforced. This order took immediate effect.

The concept of Constitutional Carry is a significant topic of discussion among gun owners and those passionate about the Second Amendment. But what exactly does it entail? In essence, Constitutional Carry, often referred to as "permitless carry," allows individuals to carry a concealed firearm without the need for a government-issued permit. This legislative framework is steadily gaining traction, with various states across the country adopting such laws.
