From what I can put together, frankly.. Unless city ordinances restrict it specifically..

Loaded open carry one in the pipe is legal?

Just CHL holders?

Yeah.. Silly first post I guess. Just been reading a lot around and getting as much information as I can. Especially that I would like to exercise my rights in a responsible manner.

-Thanks

loaded open carry is 100% legal unless banned by local ordinance, concealed carry permitees are exempt from those restrictions.

so if you are licensed to carry concealed, you may open carry in banned cities.... nice huh?

LOADED!
