Here in RI your right to have a concealed weapon is strictly controlled by the Attorney General's office. And our current AG Patrick Lynch while in support of gay marriage, is a stickler when it comes to not issuing carry permits.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: What if it is an _unconcealed_ weapon? Suppose you simply walked down the street with a gun strapped on your belt, like an oldtime cowboy? You are not attempting to hide anything. PAT]
