that thread was FL related. state statutes (laws) vary, ALOT. what's legal or illegal in one state is not necessarily so in a different state.
the laws of most states are available, online. also search for the legal definition of a particular word such as "concealed" or "weapon"
the laws, i'm discovering, in other states scare me. at the same time, they make me happy to live where i do. i just worry that if enough people from other places continue to move here, one day, our laws will resemble those of the states they come from :-(
