Ok, I was a bit off...
[/align][align=left]Sec. 11.61.220. Misconduct involving weapons in the fifth degree.[/align]
[align=left](a) A person commits the crime of misconduct involving weapons in the fifth degree if the person[/align]
[align=left](3) being an unemancipated minor under 16 years of age, possesses a firearm without the consent of a parent or guardian of the minor;[/align]
[align=left]
[align=left] [/align]
[align=left]This is your general open carry. You can open carry at 16. You can also have one under 16 if you have parental consent. [/align]
[align=left]In the same section, there is a bit about CONCEALED carry. I quoted the lettered header section again for clarity.[/align]
[align=left][/align][/align]
[align=left](a) A person commits the crime of misconduct involving weapons in the fifth degree if the person[/align]
[align=left] (6) is less than 21 years of age and knowingly possesses a deadly weapon, other than an ordinary pocket knife or a defensive weapon, that is concealed on the person.[/align]
[align=left][/align]
[align=left](b) In a prosecution under (a)(6) of this section, it is an affirmative defense that the defendant, at the time of possession, was[/align]
[align=left](1) in the defendant's dwelling or on land owned or leased by the defendant appurtenant to the dwelling; or[/align]
[align=left](2) actually engaged in lawful hunting, fishing, trapping, or other lawful outdoor activity that necessarily involves the carrying of a weapon for personal protection.[/align]
[align=left](c) The provisions of (a)(2) and (4) of this section do not apply to a peace officer acting within the scope and authority of the officer's employment.[/align]
[align=left]
[align=left]The exemptions are ONLY for (a)6 which is CONCEALED at under 21. (b) is another section, it's not a header under (6).[/align]
[align=left] [/align]
[align=left]For clarification under this section the tabs work in this form. (a) (1) (A) (i)[/align]
[align=left]Lower cased letters aren't under any of the text above them, they are only under the basic definition (in this case the phrase: "Misconduct involving weapons in the fifth degree." at the top). the normal numbers (1) are under the previous letter only, capital letters only under the number above it as well as the lower case letter defining it.[/align]
[align=left] [/align]
[align=left]So, if you're 16 or older you can carry (under 16 with parental permission). If you are 21 and over your carrying can be concealed... and there are exemptions to allow you to conceal carry under 21 in certain circumstances.[/align]
Alright, thanks. This helped out alot.
