I also have my concealed permit.


I may have done the same thing, HOWEVER: What your friend did is illegal. It's called assault with a deadly weapon. If you have a CWP, then you are licensed to carry a CONCEALED weapon. The second it is not concealed, you had better be firing it in defense of your life, or you could go to jail. I have heard more than one story of a person being arrested under these conditions. Telling someone that you are "packing" is the same thing as a threat.

...Certainly not worth going to jail for "threatening" a tweaker!



yeah i heard the same thing. as soon as your weapon is shown to the pubilc unless you are using it. even when its under a coat and your coat flaps open. if it is seen by someone and you are report as having a gun you 90% of the time will end up in jail if caught. even though you have a permit for it.

...that if in a public place. the same does not count when hunting, hiking, and fishing. sence you dont have to have a cwp to pack...you just cant conceal. unless you have a cwp.
