I recently saw something on a local newscast, only five states do not allow concealed carriage-if I recall correctly they are Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma, now whether that means of all the states that allow any carriage, only five don't allow concealed carriage, or whether that's of all 50states. I wasn't aware that Cali or NY allowed CCW even with a permit, but that's what they said at least.

Anyway, here in Kansas, like I mentioned, we can't carry concealed weapons-it's pretty much only enforced on stiff bladed knives over 4.5" blade length and on guns. We're allowed to carry openly without a permit though.

We've got legislation in action that will pass a CCW privalege, I'm all for it, I carry a firearm most of the time, except when I'm in the city, because people freak out too much, but when I'm in the city is when I feel I really need it-I carry one around the farm just for fun or for work, putting down sick cattle or exterminating coyotes, in the city I'd like to have a CCW to protect myself.

As for what I'd carry, it'd either be a Micro-compact Springfield 1911 in .45acp, or a full sized Springfield 1911 in .45acp. For "less clothes" scenarios, I'd either wear my .38spcl derringer or a Kel-tec .380 auto.
