Best states for concealed carry

I just saw this article from the Washington Post and thought to share. Some of the placements were very interesting to me....

The slide show was taking forever to load, and I gave up. Where is Indiana rank???

Go to Guns and Ammo web site and see it there. That page pops up and ad for every page. IIRC we were 18th.

16, I thought. Too lazy to go to the bathroom and find the latest copy to confirm though. What was interesting though is they showed Indiana as being the ONLY state that offered LIFETIME licenses/permits. I thought Indiana would be in the top 10 considering we can have lifetime licenses, 'no guns allowed' signs don't hold the weight of law, no duty to inform, castle doctrine, can open carry and can carry in bars and restaurants that serve booze... That's very (very) lax compared to many other states.

Be sure to study their criteria for what makes a "good" state for carry. In reality, there's few that top Indiana. We are very fortunate in the Hoosier State.

P.S. Don't click on the OP's link unless you like to be used. It's designed to deliver ads (they make money) in a slide-show format.

I thought Indiana was somewhere in the top 5 based on the freedoms we have as noted. You can carry in a bar/restuarant and even have an adult beverage with your meal without breaking the law.

We are 14th. In addition to the aforementioned reasons, we also have the 2nd highest percentage of licensees per adult population.

Found the article and the criterion.
