Kinda weird it was against the law before covid in most places.

Turns out, it IS kinda weird. They allowed concealed carry* permit holders, and open-carry* where that's legal, to continue while masked due to mandates, and crime didn't go up. Hasn't been a problem until now, and still doesn't look to be a real problem at all.

* meaning firearms/guns and other weapons
