I am not sure everyone should be allowed to carry a concealed firearm, but the people I am concerned about don't care about the law and now carry concealed without the bother of a permit. I had a need for a permit just so I wouldn't have a problem with the law when I was hunting. I would carry a pistol if I didn't have a rifle. If the weather was bad, the coat would cover the pistol. That was illegal, even though I had no intention of trying to conceal it from visual attentioon, but just to protect the weather from the elements. I was told by one sheriff his deputies would not bother me and I asked him to give me a letter stating that, but he said he couldn't do that. I don't like playing the game of jeopardy, so I needed the permit. Only the honest need apply.
