What does your permit allow you to carry?

In MI--you are allowed to carry a handgun only with your CPL.
No other weapon---they want to make sure you damage the other guy..............

I've carried openly and concealed AOW's, SBS's, and SBR's with NO permit (just the federal tax stamp to own it)

I thought Texas didn't have open carry.

In Oregon, any handgun one owns.

no restrictions in Kentucky

In Oklahoma, you qualify for your permit using a:

Derringer
Revolver
Semi-Auto

If you qualify with a semi, you can carry any of the three. Revolver only allows it and Derringer. If you somehow complete the 50-round course with only your Derringer, that is all you get to carry (I however will buy you a Man Card and a cold beer).

Once you have defined what pistol you may carry, it must further meet the definition of a pistol:

a. has an overall length of less that sixteen (16) inches and is able to be fully concealed from detection and view,
b. is capable of discharging a projectile composed of any material which may reasonably be expected to be able to cause lethal injury,
c. is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand, and
d. uses either gunpowder, gas or any means of rocket propulsion to discharge the projectile.

The definition of pistol for purposes of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall not apply to homemade or imitation pistols, flare guns, underwater fishing guns or blank pistols.

Now that that is settled, you may also not carry any prohibited bullet or any arm larger than a caliber of .45;

"Restricted bullet" means a round or elongated missile with a core of less than sixty percent (60%) lead and having a fluorocarbon coating, which is designed to travel at a high velocity and is capable of penetrating body armor

Aside from the Handgun aspect, you may also now keep a shotgun or rifle in your vehicle with the loaded magazine or clip inserted in the weapon and chamber empty; those not in possession of a permit must keep a magazine out of the long arm.

NoAlibi, from what the law says, yes, just do not drink alcohol.

My thoughts exactly.

And to think we are considered very gun friendly, and in reality are when compared to many other states.

WOW Cards81fan, no copper solids rounds for OK? To think that the environmentalists are trying to get all the lead out of hunting ammo, but yet you are required to have 60% lead in your self defense ammo.

Also only rounds propelled by gunpowder, gas, or rocket propulsion?
gunpowder = sure
gas? CO2 i suppose? I'm not sure the projectile would meet the requirements of "expected to be able to cause lethal injury"

rocket propulsion = Man I gotta get me one of those rocket propulsion fired pistols.



As far as I know SC only allows handguns, and they must be concealed.

Missouri allows anything that is legal in the state to be carried. You can even carry a sawed off shotgun under your coat if you want, as long as its 18in.

In WV, my license read deadly weapon. Think about that one. We could carry in bars. Just the usual school and Fed rules. Back in the 80s and 90s, I cannot remember any signs prohibiting CC.
The ticket sales part of NC law is kinda dumb.

Handgun only in Ohio.

Alaska - CHP (if you still carry one, as I do for other states that recognize it.) That means handguns that are not NFAs (such as the Glock 18 or Beretta 93R.)

Other than that, we need no permit for pocket knives, assisted openers, hunting fixed-blade knives, ulus, etc.

Indiana has neither "concealed carry" or "open carry"...or makes no distinction at any rate.

In Indiana you have a "License to Carry a Handgun". That means any kind of way. We are neither required to conceal or reveal...no distinction. Likewise we are also permitted to carry in a vehicle in any way we want, condition 1 under the seat or locked up unloaded in the trunk...again, no distinction ...legally anyway.

Therefore our license applies to no other type of weapon at all which never made any sense to me but that's how it is. I believe that any shotgun with a pistol grip only is considered a handgun, regardless of barrel length here...which may or may not make sense. Not sure where pistol grips with folding stocks fit in. Pistol grips with fixed or telescoping AR-type stocks are just considered a long gun.

I have to look that one up...

Looking at my Colorado permit, it says "Concealed Weapons Permit", and that I'm authorized to carry a concealed weapon "pursuant to C.R.S 18-12-201, et seq.", whatever that means. Doesn't specify what kind of "weapons", doesn't mention firearms. Guess I could pack a machete in my pant leg for all I know.

Pretty much. Our permit allows us to carry... concealed. What we carry isn't necessarily the purpose of the permit, it's how we carry. IIRC, you can't conceal an NFA weapon here, so no suppressed pistol. Open carry... I don't know, maybe we can do that via open carry. Other than that, we don't have restrictions about the number or types of weapons. And thank the Lord, we don't have any senseless regs about printing or accidental flashing.

It is called a Handgun Carry Permit in TN, so I assume it means a handgun.

Handgun.

That looks awkward to use, unless attached to an axe handle! I suppose the Innuit have a great method for it, though.
Yes, with an AZ permit that would be legal to carry concealed, if you could.

Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use.

This is from missouri law, for CCW permit holders

In Michigan, a (single) handgun. Since rifles under 30" are considered a "pistol" you can carry a folding stock AK concealed under your trenchcoat. Can't carry a pair of 22's or a primary CCW and a BUG :banghead:, but (technically) you can pocket carry a rifle or shotgun under 30". Go figure.

Technically, we have a Concealed Pistol License. Not a Concealed Pistols License or a Concealed Weapon(s) License. No one has yet been willing to be the test case for carrying multiple handguns.

Permit? What permit?

from Stevelyn post #16 (He's from Alaska.) :

I wish all states were like Alaska where it's concidered a Right instead of a gov't-granted priviledge.

Texas CHL allows only handguns and is based on the firearm with which you qualify. If you qualify with a revolver, you can only carry a revolver. If you qualify with a semi-automatic pistol, you can carry either a pistol or revolver - or both, there's no limit.

Our CHL does not permit the carrying of other prohibited weapons such as clubs, certain knives, brass knuckles, etc.
