What's a CC permit? Close captioning? Credit card?

 

[MustISO]

Concealed carry probably.

 

[WhiteKnight]

Concealed carry I'd imagine, though your sarcasm is noted.

My engineering fundamentals prof had a VA concealed carry permit. They tried to kick him out of a WalMart once because he was walking around the store with a shotgun and a .22.

I like many things about Illinois. Our lack of concealed carry is not one of them.

How did they know he had them if they were concealed? Trench coat? Large bulge in pants?

They can't kick you out of a WalMart if you have a permit?

If you are requested to leave a business or any private property because of your concealed weapon you must do so without question.

I don't understand why Kansas and Nebraska are so tightassed when it comes to CC.

He needed a screw or something for the shotgun. So he walked in, went straight to the customer service desk, and said "I'm looking for a screw that fits right here. I need to take the shotgun with me in there." They flipped out (of course) and told him there was no way that he could take the gun into the store. To which he said "No, I have a concealed weapons permit, I can take my gun anywhere in the state of Virginia." They said they'd call the police if he did so, to which he replied "They're going to tell you the same thing I am." Then he pulled back the side of his jacket to reveal his holstered handgun, said "I'm taking this with me too" and walked into the store.

That's the law in TX, don't know about elsewhere. Also, if they have the proper sign up, at the entrence(s), stating that concealed carry firearms aren't allowed inside, that also gives the specific statute number, then you can't carry inside the premises. Most places I've seen here in TX don't have the statute on their signs, but most people that carry concealed will be cool about it, and just stash the weapon in their vehicle.

The funny thing is, that you can drive your car carrying a concealed weapon (with permit, of course), no problem. But drive your vehicle with a loaded weapon on the seat, and you'll get in trouble for it (gotta have the ammo in a seperate compartment in the vehicle, and the glove box doesn't count, if I remember right). Weird, huh?? :laugh:

One thing I will say, though, is that while I still hear about violent crime in this state, I don't hear about violent crime involving guns nearly as much as I did in places like CA, which is overly anal about guns and concealed carry. TX also actually executes the prisoners that are on death row, unlike CA. :roll:

State laws always vary. Businesses and all private property owners (and managers) are allowed to ban all guns in my state, including permit-holding concealed carries. All they need to do is post a notice at the entrance.

I read something about it in the prep material for the ccw course here in Va. , I found a few quotes about it, basically anyone can be asked to leave any private property at any time for any reason or no reason at all, if you are asked to leave and refuse then it is potential tresspassing, a cop would be called, you would not be charged but would be told to leave.

Here is one quote "IF you are discovered to have a weapon, you can be asked to remove yourself and/or the weapon from the business premises. If you refuse to do so, then you can be charged with "Trespass After Warning".

That's how it is in Ohio too - although I think the consequences are more severe than being charged with tresspassing. I don't have my CCW but both my parents do - my Dad carries around little business cards with "No guns - no business" and some info on them. He drops them at the customer service desks of places with the signs posted.

I don't think WalMart is posted back home, but I've never really looked. I've heard other stories of people being asked to leave the store after another customer sees their concealed weapon and notifies a manager. It's not so much as to punish the CCW owner is as it is to appease the customers. I can understand why they wouldn't let you bring a shotgun to Walmart and carry it around - can you imagine the panic that'd cause?

Hah, check out Maryland. You have to either be a cop, politician, or be a victim of a crime for them to even consider your application.
