It is legal in many parts of the state. Unless there is a sign on the
establishment indicating you cannot carry, or you're entering any government
building (even an office building that has *ONE* gubmint office in it), or
on school grounds, etc. Notice, though, that if the weapon is *at all*
concealed, it's *not* legal.

What irks me more than the idiotic carry laws is the fact that you have to
apply to get a purchase permit, and then apply again (after taking a class)
to get a *concealed* carry permit.
