Firearm carry in this instance refers to open or concealed carry of a gun in places outside the gun owner's home, property or business respecting any prohibitions to areas off limits by law.
(Anyone that has a reason other than those listed, please choose the "pass" option. Also feel free to share that reason either privately or publicly and whether you'd like your reason added to the list in the poll.)

"I have no issue" suggests that it's about one's position on other's rights to carry.
