If you feel the need to carry, you should. In California its a misdemeanor to carry without a CCW, but carry a billy club its a felony. To get a CCW in CA is near impossible unless you are Dianne Feinstein or influential. So what is your life worth? The second Amendment is all the gun permit you need...its up to you to decide in this day and age if youll be the victim of a liberal society that protects and emboldens criminals, or if you and your family live.
Depends on what county/sherrif
In some counties, true.
In others, not true.
I have a CCW in MS and had to travel through NY recently. According to NY "laws", in order to transport my weapon, I would have to have the weapon in a locked case in the trunk and the ammo and magazines separate from the weapon and each other and locked in the glove box or similar compartment. Also not allowed to stop, but have to continue through the State which can be interpreted as a breach of their "law" if I stop for gas, food, or to use a restroom. Won't say how I handled it but I prefer to not go unarmed because an unconstitutional State is in my path.
