[QUOTE="grit, post: 145513, member: 4112"] DS, My 686 may be my favorite weapon. I have developed more skill, feal, and familiarity with this weapon than any other I own. This gun is my companion. It is usually close at hand. Residing between my seats with the handle sticking out. And, frequently hanging on my bedpost. I was recently pulled over by a highway patrolman. He seemed to resent the handgun beeing there. He asked if I had a ccw permit. I said no. He asked if I had any kind of permit. I said, "Such aaaassss"? He asked why I carried it there. I said it was convenient. About this time it started to rain and he let the matter drop. I know the laws here, and the manner I carry this gun is perfectly legal. The question it brings to mind is. Are the concealed carry laws themselves an infringement? We all have the right to keep and bear. Why don't we all have the right to bear in a concealed, non alarming fashion? This is not a question I have explored. Just a passing thought. About the 686, it isn't exactly concealable. I wore mine into the grocery store not long ago. I had been on a horse ride. I usually carry this gun while riding. And had not taken the belt off. I was supposed to meet my wife and was in a hurry. I recieved no comments, but the rig sure drew some stares. For those who might be interested, Utah offers the most widely accepted ccw permit in the country. I believe twentythree states accept it at the moment. A very large number of the permits issued are to non residents. [/QUOTE]
