Thanks Brady Campaign!

Palmetto-Pride · January 21, 2013, 09:48 AM

I never thought I would thank the Brady campaign but they did my research for me on which states I would not want to live in....

The lower the score the better obviously!

Alabama Shooter · January 21, 2013, 11:17 AM

I love how 16% is a passing score.

UtahHunting · January 21, 2013, 11:19 AM

Nice to see Utah at the very bottom!

DFrame · January 21, 2013, 11:47 AM

Who ever knew the "Brady Bunch" would actually ever serve a useful purpose!

Lemmon · January 21, 2013, 11:54 AM

Good post and useful information. But why would you ever want to move out of South Carolina????

Lemmon from Rural South Carolina.

Palmetto-Pride · January 21, 2013, 03:22 PM

Lemmon I don't want to leave SC I was born and raised on James Island although Charleston has had it's fair share of Yankee liberals invade in the past 15yrs. I was just researching gun friendly states and came across that thought it was useful.....lol

SigMic · January 21, 2013, 03:26 PM

You know. That list just makes me upset. Texas is supposed to be bigger and better in everything, but we're all the way up at 39, meaning 11 states are better than us!

Better get a move on improving things in this legislative cycle.

Good for those of you in Utah, Alaska, and Arizona!!! But watch out, Texas is coming for ya.

TommyP · January 21, 2013, 03:29 PM

^^^^ Agreed!

BarryLee · January 21, 2013, 03:39 PM

Hey, you folks in South Carolina need to start reciprocating with Georgia on our permits. We need to be good neighbors and it would be nice to carry when I’m over there eating my Low Country Boil.

Dr Big Bird PhD · January 21, 2013, 05:03 PM

Texas only has 4 points at all because of no open carry and no constitutional carry.

Jayster · January 21, 2013, 06:49 PM

We are number 19 in VA.

We've got to do worse than that!

chris in va · January 21, 2013, 09:27 PM

What is it about Utah that makes them #1?

We like guns.
We make sure our politicians understand that.
And, we're the best.

I am very disappointed to see PA score so "highly"!

Palmetto-Pride · January 21, 2013, 10:58 PM

Berrylee I couldn't agree more when I go to the Savannah Bass Pro I always forgot that my CWP doesn't mean squat across the boarder. FYI you can get good Low Country boil in Savannah.....lol

MrDontPlay · January 21, 2013, 11:04 PM

What a joke. Why don't they include violent crimes rates?

WW2 · January 23, 2013, 08:35 PM

#1

Feels like a kick in the gut. I need to move.

**Spats McGee** · January 23, 2013, 09:03 PM

Lesseee, Arkansas got 4 points over all and ranked 30th on the list (though I'm confused by the T-39 rank). We got:

2 pts for: Employers not forced to allow firearms in parking lots

and
2 pts for: Colleges are not forced to allow firearms on campus

RockSmoot · January 23, 2013, 09:30 PM

I think Arkansas is 30th on the list, and tied for 39th place overall among the states.

RamItOne · January 23, 2013, 09:48 PM

A fair amount of States are below 14 which is a good sign.

Nickel Plated · January 23, 2013, 10:00 PM

Wow, surprised that NY is lower than Cali. As far as gun rights go, I would probably rather be in CA over NY. Not that it's a good choice one way or the other, but lesser of two evils and all that.
But then here in NYC we get to see the ABSOLUTE WORST of the gun control in this nation.

Buford_Tannen · January 23, 2013, 10:31 PM

Yes! Wisconsin scored 3 points. Wonder how we scored that high?

loltraktor1918 · January 23, 2013, 10:49 PM

Interesting is at 7 points. That is higher than needed IMO. We need to look towards Utah as the ideal I think.

sgn100391 · January 24, 2013, 03:48 AM

Chicago, IL residents should feel assured that being the murder capital of America had a great score.

California #1. I'm glad I moved out of LA.

Double J · January 24, 2013, 11:04 AM

Since Brady lives in Centralia, Illinois, I am surprised Illinois is at #9. Almost hippo-crito. (that's Horsecreek Latin)
