That's the $64,000 question. Carrying a concealed weapon??As in above and beyond the one hangun the permit allows you?? Would the magistrate issue the warrant? Ifthe magistrate does issue the warrant, is the commonwealth attorney going to back the cop and magistrate, or is he/she going to drop the charge? Once in court, what is the judge going to rule? What would the appeal courts rule??
If a man (Dan) can be falsely arrested for legally and openly carrying a firearm repeatedly, why can the same type of three ring circusnot happen to a CHP holder?
Anotherpoint I suppose I am making, a man comes to the forums and asks what is perceived by many to bea "YES" or "NO" question. But the answer is not that simple, it's not a definitive YES or NO. There is no case law. There have been no arrests.... yet. IMHO, it becomes a YES or NO question only after case law exists. Maybe the correct answer should have been, "We just don't know, we think it's OK to carry more than one handgun. The law has never been tested, nobody has ever been arrested yet for carrying more than one!"
