Trendwatch---Vermont-style CCW?

In spite of failure to pass an unlicensed-concealed carry law here in Colorado, other States are trying. Alaska succeeded last year, as Publicola notes. Now it's New Hampshire's attempt. Is this a trend?

The choice of people to testify is somewhat narrowed, unfortunately:
"You don't have a lot of victims of violent crime come and testify on bills like this, because most victims of violent crimes are dead," [State Rep. Packy] Campbell said.


Rep. Cambpell testified because he still has pills inside him, shot into him while he was waiting for a CCW permit to come through. Let's get him out here to testify when Colorado gun owners try Vermont-style again.

Update: The Manchester Union Leader weighs in on the right side. Live free or die, baby.
