Weapon/Tool question

Tire Thumper!

 

You can't? Why not?

I carry in my truck, legally..

 

You would be surprised what can be done with a 4 lb hammer Hold it just under the head, and the handle can also be a weapon. a Key can work as good as a knife stick it out between your pointer and middle finger. I carry a 3 foot hardwood staff. those are deadly! I would rather use that than a knife.

 

Just get you a couple of nice locking blades. Everybody carries one. And nobody will say anything about them, even on cross border inspections. Provided you declare them, and they aren't to big.

I won't split hairs on the great gun debate found within this forum. But carrying isn't that big a deal either. If done correctly.

You can read about dozens of improperly carried weapons that have been seized. And learn what is needed to carry legally and properly.

The authors of this site are national activist, and have often commented on the "mythical" illegal to carry in a commercial vehicle clause you read and hear so much about.

Done properly, you can carry/transport in all lower 48 states.

 

always carried a nice Gerber knife folding blade (from wal-mart), used it for work also, carried it in a sheath on my belt, had a good size blade but since it was folding was less likely to attract attn. ...
-knife could be taken out of sheath and with a wrist flip would swing out and lock blade....all 1 handed (as in if you had to restrain someone with your other hand)
-also carried a spare door key in the sheath
your not always gonna have a tire thumper on you, but a good size, locking blade, quality knife, that folds, and loosens up enuff to open quick with one hand....is less menacing to the public then a fixed blade knife, usually is on your belt under your shirt, with you everywhere, and can be excused as a work tool if necessary.
-as far as guns, i honestly don't know the law....nor do i care, but i'm sure as #### not against it if done appropriately.

 

Who says you cant have a knife?

Check the North Carolina box, then click the Build CCP button. It will show you a map of states that honor NC CC permit.

By checking the original site, (in my first post) you can build a concealed carry permit that will be honored in most states. Not all...but the majority.

It gets complicated for the first time user/buyer. As you need to check each state that doesn't honor your permit. Then cross reference the laws with other states that do honor it. Some states allow you to purchase a CCP as long as you have one in your home state. Which extends your CCP into other states that don't honor you home state issued CCP.

In other words, you may have to purchase 3 or more permits to maximize your carry status.

Carrying your weapon in other states will require other things from you. As in a lock box keeping ammo and weapon separate. In those states, it would be considered as transporting, and the laws vary.

You'll need to be very careful, since you are new at this. The last thing you want to do, is get arrested/fined for not following the law in a reciprocal state..

It's a $25 fine for failing to have your permit AND a valid ID on you in MS And you'll most likely have to make a return trip to pick your gun back up

In some states, you are required to announce to any officer, that you are armed and have a CCP. Some also require that you surrender your weapon while in the presence of an officer of the law.

Bottom line: You are responsible for knowing the laws which apply to you, and the states in which you travel. The website provided will give you much info, and provide links to other useful sites.
