Try California. Here, you have to choose which guns you want on a permit and prove ownership. I have three on my permit. Then you have to qualify with each weapon which really doesn’t bother me as it’s another excuse to go to the range. Of course there’s a background check, fingerprints etc and fees too, for the rangemaster, the county and the state. And then do it all over in two years.

Sounds like California is one of those states where the right to keep and bear arms is reserved for the wealthy and well connected.

………… We're now a Constitutional Carry state, but I keep the permit current because I often travel.

Smart man, with the myriad laws concerning firearms for the time being. Some states still require a permit, and at least one CC state, ND, only allows its own residents CC.
Some don’t let non residents carry at all.
That’s just the way it is for us travelers.

I wouldn’t go that far. It’s a ‘shall’ issue state. You don’t have to justify why you want one. One problem may show up in highly populated counties/cities. I happen to live in a low populated rural county. It’s easier here than say, SF City/County.

I escaped Alllegheny County a few years back and moved just across the line to Westmoreland County.
Went to the county building in Greensburg and was in and out in 10 minutes tops.

These ten minute permit-receiving times are no stretch of the imaginations at all. I'm not sure about other states' laws but I do believe PA's laws are easy enough to navigate through. We are also given a grace period to renew the permit should we forget; I think it's 6 weeks or similar. It's not a perfect state, or commonwealth, but there sure are some very nice river valleys full of some of the state's most beautious sites.

Edit to add: Beautious is a word in PA.

I live in two states that have done away with the requirement to be permitted and accepts open or concealed carry . Wouldn't have it any other way.

Be a little careful in TN. There are some restrictions on the states "Constitutional Carry" that are more limiting than allowed with the enhanced permit.

In the 1960s it was mostly to prevent minorities from bearing arms. Of course "push back" occurred so then you had to include everyone except the wealthy and well connected.

You know why you have to prove ownership? I am asking as a Lawman.

Or better yet watch; "The Real Murders of Atlanta", Season 3 Episode 6 - Twice as Deadly. The murderer would have gotten away with it but the lawmen figured the murderer got the 38 revolver from an acquaintance to stage his wife's suicide.
