i've been all over http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov website. where does it say i can't carry a concealed weapon?

[DesertRat]

there is nothing in the FMSCA regs prohibiting it. But, do you know the pertanent gun laws in all 48 states? DO you know the legal and correct way to carry a firearm in all 48 states? Do you know all of the municipal ordinances regarding firearms that supercede state law? If not, leave the gun at home.

please. living by the rules is not a problem. just learn the rules.

If you knew the rules, you'd know how hard living with them can be. As one example, do you know the laws for Chicago? If you take a firearm into Chicago, you are breaking the law. concealed, exposed, locked in a case... doesn't matter, in Chicago firearms are illegal, end of story. So how does one legally carry a weapon into places where you cannot legally carry a weapon? But, if you really want to know the laws regarding this, check out the NRA's web site, they have a pretty comprehensive list of laws by state and municipality.

GOODIE2SHOES - By "concealed weapon" do you mean a firearm, or a tire thumper hidden on your person. As far as Chicago, do they mean a pistol or a long arm? BOL

[GOODIE2SHOES]

firearm.

[DesertRat]

In Chicago they mean ALL firearms. Toughest gun law in the country. How they enforce it, I have no idea, but I understand the penalties are heavy if you get caught. Funny thing though, that law doesn't seem to have reduced there crime rate one bit. Funny thing about criminals, they don't follow laws.

Your right I trap shoot and there are states it takes alot to get a gun into. And it is a 12 gauge shot gun and to go to the grand to shoot we would need tons of permits.
