Introduction In the United States, it is legal to carry a concealed handgun in public in all 50 states.
In Florida , pepper spray canisters that are over 2 ounces can only be carried by a person with a concealed weapons permit.
All 50 states have laws in place that allow citizens to carry concealed weapons. However, some states will not issue permits or make it extremely difficult to acquire a permit.
In , over 17 million permits were issued throughout the nation. Since all 50 states have laws in place, we will break down the permitting policies found throughout the nation. Some definitions that are helpful in this article are:. In some states, concealed carry is in the form of Constitutional Carry. This means that anyone that can legally carry a weapon may do so without a permit.
The Constitutional Carry states are:. Other states have shall-issue laws. This means that a license is required to carry a concealed handgun. However, the permitted carrier does not have to demonstrate "good cause" for carrying the weapon.
Ignorance of the law could land you in big trouble and who needs that. So it looks like the best course of action would be to contact your states issuing authority be that state police or county sheriff and ask some questions. Many local gun shops and shooting ranges will hold workshops and classes on your local laws and requirements. Knowledge is the best way to stay out of trouble. As always I must remind you that I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
This is merely a discussion based on my reading and research. Can I carry a gun in my car without a CCW? You are not allowed in most states to carry a loaded firearm within reach of the occupant of a vehicle unless you hold a CCW. You may transport an unloaded firearm as long as it is not in immediate access to occupants of the vehicle. It may be locked in the trunk of a car or if the vehicle does not have a trunk it may be in a case behind the rearmost seat.
Is open carry the same as constitutional carry? No, it is not. Open carry allows you to carry a firearm in plain sight not concealed, or covered in any way I could write a whole article about why I feel from a self-defense standpoint this is a bad idea. The short answer is yes, you generally can conceal carry two guns.
While some in the community may disagree with my assessment, I also think you should carry multiple firearms. I figured the best way to explain my case is to first dissect the counter-arguments to carrying multiple weapons. Carrying a second weapon only increases the burden on the user. The second argument is that having multiple firearms is dangerous.
I agree with this statement to a very small degree. Sure, carrying an additional firearm comes with increased risk. Carrying a firearm in general means increased risk. Taking your firearm out, and setting it down somewhere is just a blatant disrespect of the weapon and being negligent of the responsibility you have as the owner.
Assuming your firearm will fall out, means your method of carrying your firearm is insufficient. This oversight has nothing to do with the act of carrying multiple firearms. Part of selecting a conceal carry method is ensuring the firearm is properly secured ideally to your person.
This is why I do not advocate off person carry methods. You discharge your initial round and miss. Following the recoil, your firearm proceeds to chamber another round.
What do you do? This very scenario occurred several times with my first model pistol. I had a Rock Island Armory version, and it was garbage. The pistol was super finicky and required only specific ammo lest it jam. Multiple times, I had to fish out a live round that was jammed, while shooting at the NRA range.
