Responsibly armed Americans want to know, can you carry a firearm without a permit or license? Criminal defense attorney Tom Grieve has a complex answer for that simple question.
State Laws Differ on Concealed Carry Without a Permit
Basically, it depends. Some states have constitutional carry, which allows firearms to be carried without a permit. Other states allow open carry but not concealed carry without a permit. Other than where you’re carrying, some things to think about are how are you carrying the firearm and are you transporting the gun.
It’s important to look into your state’s laws and comply with all the rules involved, no matter how you’re carrying your firearm.
