As of October 2023, all 50 states in the U.S. allow some form of carrying a weapon, whether openly or concealed. However, the specific regulations and requirements vary significantly from state to state. Some states have "constitutional carry" laws, allowing individuals to carry without a permit, while others require permits and have stricter regulations. It's important to check the laws in each state, as they can change frequently.
What else can I help you with?
Are concealed weapons justifiable?
Answers to your question will be a matter of opinion. Many states do allow law abiding citizens to obtain a carry concealed permit. Statistics show that it is very rare that someone who is lawfully carrying a concealed weapon will committ a violent offense with the weapon. Carry/Conceal states do not have higher violent crime rates than non Carry/Conceal states. Some people just do not like anyone having a gun, but criminals will always get their hands on guns.

However, laws vary significantly by state, with some requiring permits and others having no restrictions. It's essential to check specific state laws and regulations, as they can change frequently and may have specific requirements regarding the type of weapon and circumstances under which it can be carried.

It depends on where you live. Check your local laws. In the US, some jurisdictions MAY allow it but I am aware of many that classify it as a 'prohibited weapon,' and to even possess it is unlawful.

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.

Which states allow gun use?
Your question is too vague to really answer. Long guns (Rifles or Shotguns) are handled differently by almost all states than handguns. Almost all states allow you to own a long gun without any kind of permit. Many states allow you to own a handgun without a permit. Most states, that allow you to carry outside the home, require a permit to carry. Notice the difference. The ability to carry outside the home is more regulated than just owning a handgun.

That's a very difficult question to answer as asked. Some states allow citizens to carry handguns openly without a permit, a couple of states (AZ and VT) allow concealed carry without a permit. Some states have a lot of restrictions on where you can carry even if you have a permit, some states have only a few. Many states will issues handgun permits to any non-felon that applies. Most states are similar in purchase requirements. You can purhcase or own a handgun at 18 in some states as long as it was not purchased through a dealer. In order to purchase a handgun from a dealer, you must be at least 21 per federal law.
