[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 1762485, member: 6288"] Some OC facts I gathered. - 43 states allow some form of open carry. 71.86% of all Americans live in a state where open carry is legal in some form. - 42 of those states allow open carry without regard to geographical area (I'm taking California out, as they only allow it rural areas) - Of the 42 states where open carry is generally allowed, only 14 states require a permit to open carry (statutory age limitations in parenthesis): UT (18), MD (No age limit), MN (No age limit), IA (18), HI (No age limit), TN (No age limit), IN (No age limit), MS (18), GA (No age limit), MA (No age limit), CT (No age limit), RI (No age limit), NJ (No age limit), and MD (No age limit) - Of the 28 states that allow unlicensed open carry, only one (1) has an age requirement greater than 18 years of age (New Mexico, where the statutory age limit is 19) - Of those 28 states that don't require a license, 20 have laws that define the statutory age limit as 18 years or older (WA, OR, ID, NV, SD, AZ, CO, NE, KS, WI, MI, LA, AL, OH, PA, WV, DE, NC, VA, and KY). That's 40% of U.S. states and 33.73% of the U.S. population. - Of the 28 unlicensed open carry states, 4 have statutory age limit lower than 18: AK (14), LA (17), VT (16), and MT (14) - A further 4 more states have no statutory age limit: WY, MO, ME, NH Source for state-by-state open carry info: [URL="http://opencarry.org/opencarry.html"][B][U][url]http://opencarry.org/opencarry.html[/U][/B][/url][B][U][/U][/B][/URL] Source for population percentages: 2010 Census data on state populations [/QUOTE]
