Should people need a ‘good reason’ to get a concealed-carry permit?

Attorney General Derek Schmidt added Kansas to a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that people don’t need to show why they want a permit to carry a concealed firearm. That’s already the case in Kansas, but a few states, such as Maryland, require a “good and substantial reason” for the permit. Personal anxiety isn’t a good enough reason in Maryland. A district court struck down the Maryland law, and an appellate court in Virginia is reviewing it.
