Hello all. I'm a newbie to the firearms world (very little experience, none with a handgun... plan to fix that this winter) and was trying to hunt down some information. During the long breaks from school (summer and winter) I work for a fireworks company, and spend 15+ hoursa day in a tent by myself, usually in a less than ideal neighborhood.This has resulted, more than once, in my having to call the police to deal with an issue of theft and/or general feeling of insecurity (i've been openly stolen from multiple times).
I was curious as to the difference between concealed carry and open carry. What does each entail? Open carry = firearm in holster on belt, shirt tucked in, firearm in plain view, loaded or unloaded? What are some common ages for open carry to be legal? What kinds of licenses or training, if any, are required for open carry? What's the deal with Florida's concealed carry program? I've heard it's reciprocal with many other states, but like I said, I'm a newbie, just repeating what I've heard.
I'm getting ready to go to Louisiana for fireworks season again, and I realize that I probably won't be getting anything taken care of so that I can OC down there this year, but thought I'd get the ball rolling so I could feel more secure and protected in future seasons. I'm from Wichita, KS, go to school in Springfield, MO, and do fireworks seasons in St.Charles, MO and Lafayette, LA, so I was unsuccessfully trying to hunt down information regarding OC in these areas. Any information you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. It seems as though you all are very knowledgable. Thanks, guys.
