Depends on the laws of your state. In Virginia, open carry is legal- with or without a permit. In other states, a weapon may not be visible. You did not say what place.
It doesn't matter. Even if the state has a liberal enough "shall issue" legislation that a convicted felon can obtain a CCW, as a convicted felon you may not purchases, possess, or have access to firearms under federal law. Ipso facto, you could potentially have a concealed carry permit, but you would not be permitted to have a gun.
I'm assuming you mean if you carry a weapon does it have to be concealed. It depends on where you are. For instance, the state of Tennessee does not issue a "concealed" permit, but a handgun carry permit and there is no specific requirement to conceal the gun by law. However, many states do require the weapon to be concealed. Check handgunlaw.us for more information.
If you mean a federal concealed weapons permit, there is no such thing. If you are a police officer or retired police officer, you can carry under federal law HR218, but other than that, you're out of luck.
The basic answer is no. In most states, you have to be 21 to get a handgun carry permit, however, I think there are one or two states that will issue handgun carry permits to people 18 or older.
If you have a concealed carry permit from Tennessee, or from a state with which Tennessee has reciprocity, no. If you do not, it's a misdemeanor, provided you can legally possess the handgun.
It depends on what state. Each state sets its own requirements for weapons and weapons permits. For instance, Tennessee issues a "Handgun Carry Permit" which covers only handguns and does require concealment. In Tennessee, you can techically carry a concealed weapon other than a gun without a permit as long as said weapon is otherwise legal.
Yes, switchblades are illegal in Florida. The possession, sale, or use of switchblade knives is prohibited under Florida law.
Not at 18. It's classed as a handgun, which you must be 21 to purchase. As far as carrying it, it's a very iffy proposition. For concealed carry, states issue a concealed handgun permit - not a concealed weapons permit. Such permits do not apply to knives or other types of weapons. Likewise, open carry laws in states which permit open carry do not apply to any other type of weapon other than a handgun.
No. A person under indictment for a felony may neither carry nor purchase, possess, or have access to firearms - it's treated the same as a convicted felon until they are exhonorated.
You can open carry a handgun without a permit, or carry a handgun concealed with a permit. Long barreled weapons are permitted when used for hunting purposes, but if you go walking through downtown Jackson, Tupelo, Gulfport, or any other populated area carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun, you're going to find yourself in a bit of hot water.
Any law abiding Missouri citizen 21 years of age or older may carry a firearm in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The firearm may be loaded, unloaded, concealed or not concealed. A permit is not required for this purpose. However a permit is required if you wish to carry a concealed firearm in public. Missouri CCW Instructor
You did not specify in your question if you meant OPEN carry or CONCEALED carry. Each one is handled differently in the state of LA. In ALL cases however, USE of said firearm is not universally allowed. After a case of public discharge of a firearm, law enforcement and/or the court system will determine if said firearm discharge was justified. This is the case whether you have a concealed carry permit or not. I will briefly handle both here. OPEN Carry: LA in almost all cases allows open carry of firearms, even in a vehicle. The specific restrictions of this as of this writing (04/03/2010) is as follows: Public buildings -- including any local government building, court house, K-12 school buildings, etc. Certain Commercial Establishments -- These establishments, as of 2009, are required to post conspicuous signs at all entrances stating their policies restricting firearm carrying. College Campuses -- Universally restricted by state statute. CONCEALED Carry: As with most states, concealed carry requires a permit. LA does has reciprocity agreements with many other states. This is to say that if you have a concealed carry permit valid in another state, it may be valid in LA. Again, as of this writing (04/03/2010), the following states' permits are NOT valid in LA: CA, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, OH, OR, RI, WI. Again, these permits do not allow for the discharge of your firearm. Simply for the concealed carry of said firearm. Also, whether you have a LA concealed carry permit or a permit valid via reciprocity, the weapon must be on your person. You cannot carry the weapon concealed in your glove-box or under the seat, etc.
