Well I escaped from Rhode Island to Free Arizona. I want to OC, but I'm a tad nervous about doing so. Not from any criminal elements, strictly from the legal aspects of it. Can I walk around town and OC? Are the cops going to harass me? We moved to Globe which is a very small town and my thinking is the more rural the town, the more accepting of OC, yet I haven't seen it once (although I've only been here a week). I want to take my dog for a walk. Is OC legal on city streets? I want to go to WalMart. There are no signs on the door, is it legal? It's a very foreign subject coming from communist Rhode Island.
On a different note, I am taking an AZ ccw class this sat. Surprisingly, Rhode Island's ccw is far superior (in terms ofrestrictions)to AZ, which to be honest, is very annoying. The rub is, they are near impossible to get in RI. A few of the rural towns will issue them (as they are mandated by law) rather than face a lawsuit, which is how I got mine. The majority of towns and the big cities couldn't care less what the law says and won't. The Attorney General "may" also issue but they are ridiculously restricted usually. Anyway, the only restriction in RI is carrying while intoxicated. The law actually states that the permit is allowed "everywhere within the state". So to now have to deal with some ccw restrictions in AZ of all places is pretty frustrating to me.
Back to the main topic though, I want to know more about OCing here. Am I going to catch hell from the cops or not?
