Constitutional Carry, as it is often referred to, simply allows a person who was previously forced to ‘open carry’ to cover it in an effort to not create fear when others see the firearm. What the new law DOES NOT do is exempt them from the laws that those with permits enjoy. For example, a person with a permit may carry in public K-12 schools, public higher education facilities, are exempt from a background check when purchasing a firearm but most importantly, a permit holder have reciprocity privileges with 36 other states.
