    I might also mention that I'm pretty sure you can't count on Wikipedia to be absolutely correct so I wouldn't count on what it says as fact. However, I do think it's good information and worthy of anyone's consideration who carries a weapon in any form, especially when they cross state lines, to know what other states laws could be.

    We sell firearms in Memphis via our small gunshop and a great archery range where I shoot archery as well. Everyone that has a permit to carry or works there is asked to carry to deter thrives , and to this day ,it has worked,,,, No robberies yet!

    It should be required , every law abiding citizen own atleast 1 gun. Crime would be lower. Home invasions will be common in some areas if the guns are banned!

    South Carolina use to be a open carry state, The brilliant politicians figured there didnt need to be open carry after the CC law was passed, Coincidentally you did NOT need a permit and pay to open carry........

    We have a Gun shop in our area that makes Shotgun chokes (Rob Roberts Gun works) (World known) each employee carries a gun open in the shop!! I asked Rob why? Each employee carries a Glock on his hip wide open!! He said (Rob) you would not believe how many times we have been robbed!! Used to all ways be on my mind (EMT/First Res-ponder) What would I do in the situation where we were confronted with a person with a weapon on drugs or whatever!! What would We do how would we handle the situation! Its a very hard split second decision to make and you never,never forget!! The only thing that stops a Bad guy with a gun!! is a Good guy with a Gun!!!!

    My is with open carry the bandit knows you have it while there's is concealed in there coat pocket so by the time you get to it he or she has shot you to rob you. The surprise of them not knowing what is coming is the ultimate surprise. Being able to see what you have on your side just gives them a better plan of attack. Guns are great and people are crazy sounds like Billy Curington's new song.

    All good points. When i took my carry conceal, the instructor was all for carry conceal, but wanted open carry. His thinking was.... If i am within 10 feet of you, and then i run right at you, there is no way you can get your concealed weapon out with a fight first. Now if you shoot a man that you have already beaten, u are now the criminal. I can see either side. He demonstarted it with my class mates. He is right. Its hard to get drawn.

    Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
