Call your State police and ask them, they will know what to tell you. In Pa you have to have the ammo and gun in seperate sections of the vehicle, like the gun in the passenger compartment and the ammo in the trunk. Guns laws change so very quickly and quietly sometimes that it would be best to double check any info with your police dept.

San Francisco as part of California may have some city ordinances on the subject I don't know, but as part of the state you can carry a rifle in your car so long as its not loaded, not concealed and simply be transported (meaning you are going to a range, to a shop to have it fixed or moving).  They actually have gun shows in the city; but not many any more.

It all depends on what state you live in and what type of gun permit you have. The states range from:\n\nVermont--which doesn't even issue such a thing as a "gun permit" because you don't need one to buy a gun or carry one openly or concealed.\n\nto:\n\nIllinios--which requires you to have a permit to own ANY type of gun, and doesn't allow you to get a permit to carry it in public openly or concealed.\n\nThe other states fall somewhere in between. Name your state, and I can help you more..

Just Alabama.  States don't recognize other states CCW laws.  Check at NRA.com to be sure.

most often if it is cased and locked, and in the trunk, also known as the 3 step rule (would take 3 steps to get a hold of the weapon) you are legal. the bugger issue is what kind of weapon is it? some places have outlawed posetion of classes of weapons. there is Federal law about transporting weapons across state lines (peaceable journey laws), but they have been ignored by some LEO's (NJ comes to mind).

No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a motor vehicle, unless it is unloaded and is carried in one of the following ways: \n\n(1) In a closed package, box, or case; \n\n(2) In a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle; \n\n(3) In plain sight and secured in a rack or holder made for the purpose; \n\n(4) In plain sight with the action open or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or which cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.

depends on the state.  most places it is considered a weapon and you must have it registered.\nif its registered then ya.  you can have a rifle in your car as long as it is unloaded, the safety is on, and the bolt is open.\ncarrying it on you in public places is a different story. you will need a concealed weapons permit.

You might find what you are looking for with a google or yahoo search.  What are you looking for?\n\nI did a little Yahoo and found the following:\n\n<A law letting people in Florida kill in self-defence on the street without first trying to flee an attacker has been passed by Florida politicians. >\n\n<Florida has more concealed weapons license holders than Texas, and the Tampa Bay region alone has more than the entire state of California.>\n\nWow, sounds like a friendly place.

heck yeah.  in colorado you must use loose bp with only a conical non-sabot bullet or a round ball.  sights...no fiber optics.\n\nin other states it varies.  i think most of the restrictions are going to be on the type of sights.\n\n209's are ok, i think. \n\ndouble check with your states dnr to be sure.\n\ngood luck.

Try this site.\n\nhttp://www.textfiles.com/politics/GUNS/caligun.law\n As far as I can read, it is considered the same as with general firearms. Discharging away from occupied dwellings is legal and you are not likely to get into any trouble for it. If you have a hunting license you should be fine in shooting critters, but you might want to check with your local fish and game service for definites. They can tell you about shooting animals on or off private property. Good luck to you.

It isn't that you live in San Bernandino County that's going to make the difference, it's that you live in California.  \n\nCalifornia has a law (gunsandammoatwork quoted it) that prohibits carrying dirks or daggers concealed on the person.  Throwing knifes would qualify, but *only* if they are concealed on your person.  \n\nIf you wear them openly around your waist in a scabbard, they would not be concealed (no jackets or anything else covering them).  If you carry them exposed in your hand, they would not be concealed.  If you put them in a duffle bag, and you're carrying the duffle bag, I would worry that you might get yourself into trouble, although I don't think the law would prohibit it.\n\nBottom line: why do you want to carry them around?  Leave them at home and avoid any possible problems.

only for the state that you live in.  don't get caught outside michigan with the handgun and a michigan permit.\n\nif you want to go out of state with a weapon, i would suggest getting a federal gun permit, it will cost you $200, but, they are good for 10 years, and you can go anywhere in the continental US with the weapon.  (planes, train, and boats are still off limits!)

This is for a novel and you came to this forum for research?\n\nNot a good idea.\n\nSeriously though, the rifle issued would be an M-16. he would\nalso carry a Beretta 9mm sidearm.\n\nThank you very much, while you're up.

Technically, yes. You have the right to have it in your home. That's it. When you get a license, it's called a concealed carry permit. You cannot conceal a sword and therefore won't be permited to carry one.  But up on your wall at home is fine.  I had a friend who was walking from one house to another and had a sword in his coat.  He was stopped by the police and was charged with a concealed weapon.  He fought it and lost, so I would suggest against even taking it out of your home.

I would say it depends on your states laws on it. As some states its legal to carry mace (with being certified as a concelaed weapon or device )while others very illegal. I know in New Mexico, where I am it is currently legal to own one however if your ever stopped it is illegal to conceal any weapon. It must be out in the open and in any crossing with a officer you must notify them immediatly you are armed. I know though the state is currently working on a law for it and it has been talked either banning it from the public to carry or make persons take a class at there expense to carry one. Check with your district attorney or ask a peace officer in your area. The city Im in just recently banned the public (civilian) from carrying tasers in public, its kind of conflicting right now since its only a local ordinance made and some say it could conflict with the states statue soon to come out. I do know it is totally illegal to carry mace, weapons or tasers into military installations or have them on your person/car on a base.\n\nI do have experience and carry one on duty. I would say it is a good device however I think any joe shouldnt be able to carry one as it can also be deadly to some. To carry mine me and fellow officers had to take written tests, courses on proper uses, and proper situations to deploy it and then were tasered with  x-22 tasers to feel the effect as same we have to be maced once a year to carry it for certification. I know the classes we took here from a trained instruction person it took us all a month in training on its proper use and testing to ensure everyone was widely aware of its capabilities and effect, and again said what situations to properly use it in. We hardly use it unless the situation really needs it. The cops tv show you just see all the good situations they require it to be used where as I have only used it twice in a year, being the other guy had a gun or large knife. So I wouldnt just deploy it just because billy joe is fisting up.\n\nIm guessing you want one for self defense. I know most manufacturers, specially like Galls, GT, etc.  will NOT sell any x-22 type guns used by law enforcement to the public or any similiar. I know some companies sell to the public but ones sold to the public are not as good as a x-22 and very less effective, as I dont blame them for doing this. I wouldnt want the 17 year old Im about to confront with one either.\n\nBut call your district attorneys office or local pd and inquire it.

Ditto the previous post regarding license to purchase/own versus carry. If you're interested in carrying a concealed weapon in Georgia, or any other state for that matter, Packing.org is an outstanding resource with answers to all your questions.
