Hey Countryreb, your just like my brother. We can have concealed permits here, and carry open if there is not an ordinance, but he just won't get a permit, he feels the same way you do. Why get a permit for something you should already be able to do.
So I bug him now and then in a friendly way, and tell him he'll get a ticket someday for packing that loaded pistol in his truck without a permit.
Then he just smiled and said something that got me to thinkin.
He told me if he gets pulled over packin a loaded pistol, he'll pay the fine, and get his gun back, cause it's just a misdomeaner for that...he tells me if I foul up with my permit, it's a felony. So he would keep paying fines, and I'd be all done my first screw up.
I just scratched my head a minute...thought about it...and by golly he's right!
Might just have ta let my permit run out and do it his way....(Wink)
