A Couple Spent $12,800 On Carry Permits… And Still Can’t Carry Everywhere

The video argues that modern concealed-carry laws impose a heavy financial and logistical burden on lawful gun owners, using a couple who spent about $12,800 on permits as the main example. It frames this as a constitutional problem, especially for travelers like a truck driver who may legally carry in some states but must disarm or reapply when crossing into states that do not recognize his permits. The video centers on the Supreme Court case Johnson v. Jacobson, where gun-rights groups are urging the Court to review Minnesota’s refusal to honor out-of-state carry permits. Its main conclusion is that historical practice and current permitless-carry trends cut against Minnesota’s policy, and that forcing repeat licensing to exercise a right looks more like a privilege than a constitutional guarantee.
