Gun Laws

I was told that you have to have a concealed carry permit to carry a loaded handgun, even if it's not concealed. Is this true?

Depends on what state you reside in.

In my state, you can carry a loaded handgun on your person as long as its not concealed, without any permit.

Idaho is simular. Here you need a hunting license to carry any kind of weapon unless your law enforcement. You can carry concealed anywhere outside any city limits with a hunting license. To carry concealed in town you need a concealed carry permit.

As noted above, laws vary tremendously from state to state. One of the best resources for looking at firearms law is packing.org.

this site my friend set up is really good too, better than packing.org because you don't have to wait forever to things to appear

Welcome to the forum!

Maybe it's time you consider moving south, we need all the help we can get!
