You are only required to carry weapons systems when escorting prisoners to locations outside the prison. This is a specialised skill for selected staff with additional training. <<Back to top

Yes, but it must be unloaded with no ammunition in the chamber or magazine. Legal muzzle-loading firearms are the only firearms that hunters are permitted to carry while in this wildlife management area. Loaded modern firearms are not permitted.

Your gun should be packed in a crash resistant plastic or metal case that locks. Do not go cheap on a traveling gun case. In the US, you will need to make sure you get to the airport early enough to have your gun inspected by TSA before it is placed on the airplane.

The first step is the Basic Personal Protection Course, which takes eight hours. This is normally done in two four-hour sessions on two days. Once you complete this course, you get a certificate from us, which you take to the Department of Safety, at a Driver's License Examining Station. They will fingerprint and photograph you, do a background investigation, and issue you a Handgun Carry Permit, in 60 to 90 days.

Your permit is valid anywhere in the State of Tennessee. As of January 1, 2005 it is valid in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming. (See Packing.Org for the most current information.) There are certain restrictions.

After receiving your license from the DPS, you are allowed to carry any type of legal handgun, as long as it is concealed.

Each Trooper is issued a Beretta model 96D Centurion, .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun. We are also issued a 12 gauge shotgun. Some Trooper's in the Greater Minnesota regions are also issued a semi-automatic rifle. I’ve been called by a fundraiser who tells me they are collecting money on behalf of the Minnesota State Patrol Trooper’s Association (MSPTA). Is this true?” In almost all cases, I would yes.

Most models are small enough to fit easily inside a pocket or purse, and include a belt clip so the unit can be conveniently worn on the waist. Leather and nylon holsters are also available. A holster will keep a stun gun securely in place, and allow quick access.

Yes, but only for these two purposes (per RSA 159:4): (1) to carry a loaded handgun concealed upon the person, other than in your home or place of business (where you can do so without a license); and (2) to have a loaded handgun in a vehicle (whether the handgun is concealed or not).

NO! The rules of "No weapons or firearms" in the C.O.P. Rules of Conduct apply to Concealed Handgun Licensed individuals as well. If a weapon is found in a patrollers vehicle he will be subject to disciplinary action by the Citizens On Patrol Board of Governors up to and including expulsion from the program.

Like most states, Florida does not register guns, or license owners. If you intend to carry a gun for protection off your property, you should obtain a Florida Concealed Weapons License. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office has the paperwork at our offices in Crestview, Shalimar, Destin, and Santa Rosa Mall. In order to obtain a license, you must be a US citizen (not necessarily a resident of Florida), at least 21 years of age, and be able to document some firearms training.

Are there any books available which summarize day or overnight hikes in the Texas State Parks? A Top 50 List of the best hikes? We would love to get such a book. There is a book "Hiker's Guide to Texas" by Laurence Parent. It is by Falcon Press, Montana, 1992; 184 pages with trail and black & white photos. I hope you are able to find it at your local book store. There is also a book by Mickey (Mildred) J. Little, Ed.D. called quot; Camper's Guide to Texas.

Alaska firearms laws and regulations are simple and pragmatic. Carrying hunting rifles and shotguns through Canada is also generally simple. In Alaska, hunters may generally possess and use firearms with few restrictions. State law prohibits the following firearms: Handguns are allowed to be carried concealed in Alaska by anyone 21 or older, other than convicted felons, without obtaining a special permit.

The gulls fear nothing! They fly up when you run at them or the dogs run and bark at them, then one minute later they land behind you on the nest. If we shoot a couple it might let them know what's what. We have a permit for collecting either one or two gulls. And Dick has a gun. (See Dick's 2002 and 2003 reports for more on this.) The house has lots of standard condiments such as salt, pepper, mustard, sugar, old coffee—a lot of stuff—plus a very good gas stove.

This depends wholly on what state you are living in. Because of our federal system of government, each state has a different set of laws regarding firearms. Some are very restrictive, others are not. There are also federal laws that apply to all of us, particularly regarding what types of weapons one can purchase, who can sell guns, and who is allowed to buy them. However, according to gun authority Bruce B. Biggs, there are roughly twenty thousand gun control-laws in the United States.

The gun show loophole is often cited by gun-control groups as a reason to end the popular gun-shows. They claim that guns are sold without the required background checks, and that criminals often use these shows to acquire guns. The truth is that gun shows are regulated in the same manner as all other gun sales. Firearms dealers, the vast majority of the people selling firearms at gun shows, are legally required to perform FBI background checks on a person before selling them a gun.
