I assume it varies from state to state, but my state allows concealed carry with a license. However open carry is not an option.
Now my state is on most others for being reciprocal in that I can carry in those states(with exceptions based on that states more stringent requirements), and other people from their respective states can carry concealed in mine.
My question is, if I were to be in a state that allows both OC & CC, would I be allowed to OC even though my CCW is only for CC in my state? I assume the answer would be yes, but I would like to find out if most states have any differentiation when dealing with a CCW from a reciprocal state.
I ask because when I travel in the future, I'd like to OC, even though I feel more comfortable with CC.
The reason is that I have a new perspective, that being that the general public needs to be desensitized to regular citizens carrying guns and seeing the world not coming to an end.
