Also. Is it true that if carrying a handgun in a car, that there are supposed to be a certain amount of "moves" before you can pull the trigger.
Eg. 1) Open glovebox, 2) remove trigger lock, 3) Load gun
OR
1)Open center console 2) Unholster gun 3) Load gun???
I'm just curious about some of the handgun laws of my neighbours to the South.
I once had a friend that was charged for having the softcase of his shotgun unzipped by about an inch.
Thanks in advance

Same in Oregon and I think in Washington.
They know you have a permit before approaching the car.
And you're suppose to volunteer the info before being asked.
They are not only completely legal to own down here but with training legal to carry. You just NEVER want to let someone see it unless you're going to use it.

Alright, thanks guys, concealed carry isnt something I have any experience with. For obvious reasons.

Thanks again.

I never get pulled over because I am always very careful to obey all traffic laws.

In Indiana, I don't believe there is language in the carry permit that requires the handgun to be concealed. I have seen non-LEO citizens with open view side-arms in our local diner recently.

And fine by me.

In NH anybody can carry openly. But you better have a concealed carry permit if that weapon is not in plain view.

In Idaho you only need to let an officer know if you are packing. As others have mentioned, they already know if you have a permit before they approach.

That's a great law. That's actually the way it should be everywhere. I think that's called Open Carry.

Welcome to NH, "live free or die" baby.

Yeah, my best friend has a farm in Charlestown. I go up every year for a week of sledding (except last year when we had more snow is Texas than you guys did!). The year before we rode almost 500 miles in a week and I was completely toast. Couldn't use my right thumb for a month. Loved it.

No-one can get a concealed weapons permit in Canada. You can't get an unconcealed one either. You cannot carry a handgun for protection in Canada, period. This is Federal law. Nor can you carry mace.

Thats correct, that WAS the obvious reason. Army Officers would carry their sidearms on base, and of course Peace Officers carry their sidearm.

When I was in the Army, I remember this certain female officer, she would literally stroke her handgun as she walked around. You could tell that she really liked being able to carry it.
