I am always amazed at the number of Dogs who EDC a pistol. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I grew up in Illinois just outside Chicago and guns for me have always been heavily regulated,handguns being the strictest. Moving to Wisconsin back in 2001 I found that WI. state laws are just as strict.

When I researched the CCW laws for the famous 50 I find a great diversity in laws regarding concealed carry. Vermont seems to be almost a vigilante society as ANYONE can carry in that state...even visitors there!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Wisconsin and Illinois are the ONLY two states that forbid concealed carry in any manner. ONLY off duty Police can carry.
Even Judges,Congressmen,Senators can NOT carry a pistol in my two archaic states. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

So when I see Dogs posting sleek pistols and fancy leather...BLADZ...I get a bit melancholy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I can't even imagine how fun that must be. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
But on the flip side any size knife is fine in Wisconsin as long as it is NOT concealed. So I wear my sheaths and stuff them with Scrap Yard Knives and I am just fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But it would still be cool to carry a S & W 500 Mag on my belt. And boy I can't even imagine the sheath Jeff would have to make for that hand cannon! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
