Concealed weapon
Feb 7, 2014 09:22:47 #
Getting a carry permit in Rhode Island is next to impossible. However, getting one to have in the house is rather simple. If I thought I wouldn't be pushing water uphill to get a concealed carry permit, I'd do it. Pretty soon King Obama will issue one of his executive orders prohibiting handguns anyplace.

Cute, but as there appear to be no bolts holding it on, it was likely attached via Photoshop. Nevertheless, I like the sentiment.

Well, you know, he can prohibit all he wants. I simply don't share his vision. Unlike so many others, I do pay attention to history. The message is clear, and prohibition would make it clearer, especially for him.
BTW, I carried before it was 'legal'--in truth, it's always been legal. Surprisingly, even after it was 'legalized', the pundits were proved wrong and the bloodbath did not ensue. Darn! Doesn't help their case much, does it?

A concealed weapon is quite small and I don't see what good it would do in the wild except for the little critters.

Does anyone carry a concealed weapon with them on photo shoots when they feel uncomfortable in the surroundings. If so, what type of weapon and permit do you have. Thanks for responding.
Normally, I carry a .357 Taurus stainless 8-shot revolver or Springfield 1911 .45. N.C. is an open carry state so you can carry open or concealed with a concealed carry permit which I have. But in state forrest by law you can only carry a .22 pistol. Seems kinda stupid but thats NC. Or you can carry any pre 1896 firearm because the law doesn't list them as firearms they are deemed as antique replicas.

I've thought about it and I do have a carry permit but I've never felt like I was in any dangerous situations. I'd carry if I thought it was prudent.

Be up front about it. Talk to your airlines and find out what the rules are. This way you can avoid embarrassing moments at the airports and keep yourself out of jail. You may also want to insure your protection the same way some photographers get insurance on their camera equipment.
I've driven to Canada half dozen times on fishing trips and one of the first questions the Canadian border police will ask you if you have any guns. If you do that's as far you are going except maybe to jail. If they suspect you might have one, you will be pulled over to a parking lot and everything will be searched. They will confiscate your night crawler worms because they have American soil on them. Same thing with potatoes. I watched it all happen.
I could tell you more but just plan your trips and find out what the rules are. When my sister was traveling in Africa, she almost landed in jail for taking a picture of a security guard. They took her camera.

At least you have a chance, no? The small.38 concealed is enough for the two legged bigger critters...yes, the more dangerous ones

Yea, don't get caught!
It can actually be done legally.....Trouble is you have to let the TSA Know it is in your checked baggage and that alone keeps me from doing it because I fear that it will be stolen by some baggage handlers.

In Oregon no permit required to carry a weapon that's not concealed. I encountered a young woman in the eastern Oregon boonies with two holsters. She explained, "The 22's for snakes. The 38's for bigger snakes." :)

I've wanted to carry when out in the wilds, but haven't found a way to pack a gun with my checked baggage on flights and count on it still being in my bag when I reach my destination.
Anyone have input on taking a gun cross country by plane?

Go to the TSA website or your particular airlines and the criteria will be explained.

That young woman has a way with words. :) Thanks for posting Jobber, that made my day.

Good for Idaho! :-D Again, many "open carry" states around here - I never felt a need to get a "concealed carry" permit. Seems to me that the "concealed" part of that would just slow down your draw . . .

If you unload it, lock the action open with a zip tie or similar, declare it to the airline when you check in you should be fine. Check with the specific airline before you go to the airport but generally the procedure above is what I understand is required.
If you DON'T declare it to the airline you won't have it in your baggage when they pull you off of the airplane before it takes off and you'll never see it again.
