Do You Carry a Gun When You Ride

[rpatsh]

What do guns and parachutes have in common? If you need it and don’t have it, you’ll never need it again.
You have to be able to protect yourself if needed.

Washington State is also an open carry state.

I do have a Michigan cpl same as a ccl I do carry but not all the time because of my job but when not at work usually do as others have stated it's illgel to show your weapon well caring it conceled . Here in Michigan it is leagel to OPEN CARRY as well . I have never had to use my pistol its nice knowing it's their if neassery but best to remain calm i know its hard at times

Forgot to mention that the state of kentucky has an open carry law as well.. Anyone can open carry as long as your 21 an not a felon..

My question is a simple one...if you have a concealed permit for your particular state of residence, does that mean you can carry a weapon across the United States and still be legal?

Here in Arkansas we have concealed carry, and reciprocity with our friendly neighbor MO up north.

One advantage on the Spyder, at least with the SE5 transmission, is the abilty to pretty quickly free up both hands to take up a defensive posture while still on the vehicle. Not as easy on a 2 wheeler.

In new york you can get in some trouble if someone sees your gun. NY conceled carry means Conceled carry , QUOTE] Do me a favor, and please take another look at your permit... My New York State permit; issued in Sullivan County simply says, "License to carry pistol is hereby granted." It does not specify the method of carry; it only states that permission is granted. UNLESS... your local judge is adding that as a restriction or modification to the permit... :dontknow:

No. It does not. You have to read what states allow carrying of a weapon either concealed or open. Not all states honor other states permits. Confusing.

New York's laws are REAL simple; they don't recognize any other State's permits... :gaah:

 

[Chupaca]

Don't..!!

Have them know how to use them but don't feel the need to carry one...break into my house and find out on the road have the option to avoid areas, people, places that threaten or leave..please don't hammer me with situations I know it happens. :dontknow:

 

[bruiser]

I'm well aware of what he law says regarding showing a weapon. But as has been stated, it was my choice to defuse a potential situation.

I carry a .45 all the time and hope to never need it. I have both a Georgia and a Florida permit and this gives me all the states I need when I travel. I do read up on the laws in states I am going to in order to understand their laws and follow those. I have no need or desire to go to NY, IL, CA, OR and some of the states around NY. I will, however, disarm when I am in SC. I also will not patronize a restaurant or business that denies my right to carry, within the law, of course.

I do not know about the laws where you live, but in Florida, flashing your gun to get someone to back off is illegal and a felony. Better read the laws where you live

Be careful out there with your firearm!! Here is how the law reads.

It is not a violation of this section for a person licensed to carry a concealed firearm as provided in s. 790.06(1), and who is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner, to briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.
​

I guess I read that differently... To me it reads that showing the gun to ward off potential threats is permitted, however if you flash it to scare off the repo man, or some other stupid way, then you are breaking the law.

When I travel to PA to visit family, I have to pass through the Peoples Republic of Maryland (PRM). I have to stop at the Va/Md border, unload and break down the gun, put the mags, oops, clips in the trunk and the gun in the console. In the state of NC, if you are pulled over with a concealed weapon, you have to give the officer your permit and inform them you are carrying.

As an aside, many years ago, when I was a volunteer firefighter/emt I was traveling through the PRM. I had a red light on the dash, not operating mind you. Also had a FF license plate on the front of the car. As soon as I crossed the border from Delaware to Maryland a state trooper sitting in the median pulled out behind me. We went down the interstate about two miles and he pulled me over. When he walked up to the car he asked who I thought I was. I asked what he ment and he said nobody but police officers,firetrucks and ambulances will have a red light mounted on their vehicle he didn't care if I was the fire chief. Gave me a verbal warning and told me to take the light off the dash and never come back to his state with a light like that again. I didn't. A few years latter I came back through in my pickup. I had a light bar on my truck and they never said a thing. Guess he had a bad day.

It is illegal in the state of North Carolina to carry a weapon in to any establishment that sells alchohol for consumption on the premises or any building clearly displaying a no weapons allowed sign.

Being in law enforcement for quite a few years, I feel a little naked without my 9mm Ruger. Never had to use it or show it, but being 76 years old, I don't relish an A** kicking or my wife abused. Enough said ....

Concealed carry across the USA

Mr. Fats-
I hold a Virginia CCP along with a Utah Non-resident CCP. Between these two permits, I can legally carry concealed in 37 states through what is called "reciprocity". Virginia is an "open carry" state. And I carry concealed while riding, especially at night.
If you are interested in carrying concealed, find a proper on-site training and licensing course in YOUR state. Complete it, pass the test (and range course, if required), obtain your permit and then, and only then start looking for a weapon.

Carrying a weapon, concealed or open, is a huge responsibility. Before you purchase the weapon, UNDERSTAND that responsibility.

I agree, gun laws & helmet laws all the same. I don't travel "no gun states" or "helmet states". ---Budro
