Concealed weapon - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A concealed weapon is any deadly weapon, including a firearm, carried on or about a person hidden from the ordinary view of another person. Although the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides �the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,� certain states have laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons unless the person carrying has a permit to do so.

For example:

  • In Florida, a person who is not licensed to carry a concealed weapon and does so is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. Also, a person who is not licensed to carry a concealed firearm and does so is guilty of a felony of the third degree.
  • However, in Georgia, a person who is not prohibited by law from possessing a handgun or long gun can carry a loaded long gun without a license as long as it is carried in an open and fully exposed manner. Also, such a person can carry a handgun without a license as long as it is enclosed in a case and unloaded.
