Program Summary

This webinar discusses laws on open carry, constitutional carry, reciprocity agreements for concealed carry permits, and restrictions on carrying firearms in prohibited areas. It provides essential guidance for understanding where and how firearms can be legally carried, helping attendees navigate legal complexities and ensure compliance.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Open Carry Laws: Open carry refers to the practice of openly carrying a firearm in public, often without the need for a permit. This topic would delve into the regulations surrounding open carry, including where it's allowed, any restrictions on the type of firearm or ammunition, and any required permits or licenses.
  • Constitutional Carry: Also known as permitless carry or unrestricted carry, constitutional carry allows individuals to carry firearms without a permit or license. This topic would explore the states or jurisdictions where constitutional carry is allowed, any limitations or exceptions, and the legal implications for residents and visitors.
  • Reciprocity Agreements: Many states have reciprocity agreements that recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states. This topic would cover which states have such agreements, the process for legally carrying a firearm across state lines, and any limitations or exceptions to reciprocity.
  • Restrictions and Prohibited Areas: Firearms carry laws typically outline specific locations where carrying firearms is prohibited or restricted, such as schools, government buildings, airports, and certain private properties. Understanding these restrictions is crucial for gun owners to avoid legal issues and ensure compliance with the law.
