Okay, I haven't really made myself real clear here. I didn't buy a gun specifically for conceal carry, it'll be a fun gun to shoot, a home defense gun, and an open carry PRIMARILY.
Dude:
Open carry in most states is a real stupid thing to do. It will do nothing but cause alarm and concern among others, and give you grief. I would advise that you to get a CCW permit, if you want to have your gun loaded with you anywhere outside of your home.
A guy I've met who is really into open carry got into an incident with the police here recently, when he stopped to buy gas at a local gas station, openly carrying his handgun. The owner had been robbed at gunpoint recently, and was thus terrified when he saw that the man was armed. He called the police immediately, who rushed to the scene.
Now the police could not arrest the man, since he had done nothing to violate the law. But while he was detained by the officers while they did a warrant check on him, the owner gave him a trespass warning. And the officers then explained to him that if the owner ever spotted him at his gas station again, they would come and arrest him for criminal trespass.
IF I decide to get the conceal carry permit [In Kansas you have to apply, pay something like 150 to state and local gov, and take a training course that is a minimum $100. So I'd be looking at something like $250 to get a concealed carry permit.
So what? Are you saying that you cannot afford $250? I just checked, and there are courses starting at $75 So $150 + $75 = $225 for a permit that is good for 4 years. That works out to $56.25 a year
Your fees are much higher than what we have to pay in my state, I do admit. And we only have to take a class once. We don't have to take it again when we renew. That really sucks that they do that to you. But that is something that you can take up with your representatives in your state legislature.
However, anyone can put up a no gun sign, I'll put a picture at the bottom of the post, and that restricts you from legally carrying a gun into that business, or residence I believe.] then I would be very limited to where I could even carry it. I didn't get a full size pistol so if I ever did decide to carry concealed I would have the option. So the concealed is just an option for the future, overall the quality of the Glock sold me.
Man, you sure don't understand the law at all. No one, in any state, has the right to take firearms onto the private property of another person without that person's permission. Do you actually think that you have a right to come into my home with a gun, if I don't want you to? Get real! Likewise, any business operator can set rules for the private property that he owns. Their rights easily trump any rights that you have, when you are on their privately owned property.
