US States that Allow for Open Carry of Handguns
45 States allow for the open carry of handguns without a permit or license, although several of those states have some restrictions (North Dakota, for example, allows for open carry of a firearm without a permit, provided the gun is unloaded. The state requires an individual to obtain a license to open carry a loaded firearm). 8 states (shown in orange) require a permit to carry a handgun. 5 states (shown in red) prohibit open carry entirely.
US States that Have Constitutional Carry Laws
While a majority of states allow for the concealed carry of a firearm without a permit, it is not universal in every state. In Arizona, anyone over the age of 21 can conceal carry a firearm without a permit. Some constitutional carry states require that you be a resident of that state to conceal carry without a permit.
