What requirements should states set for carrying concealed guns in public?

States should set strong requirements, including at the minimum:

• Requiring that a person pass a background check and obtain a concealed carry permit.
• Requiring gun safety training, including live-fire training experience.
• Prohibiting people recently convicted of misdemeanor crimes of violence.
• Allowing law enforcement to prohibit people who pose a danger to the public, as local authorities may know if a person has a red flag in their history—for example, domestic disturbances, assault arrests, or dangerous mental health issues.
• Prohibiting abusive dating partners (in addition to spouses) convicted of abuse or subject to domestic violence restraining orders.
• Prohibiting convicted stalkers.
• Requiring a person to be 21 or older.
