I'm going with I2RdHD advise,
I do have a conceled permit here in NY got it for Deer hunting way back when. It was not a conceled type of pistol but the permits were easier to get back then.
I'm going with the advise of my friends. As with the depates of Elec vs Gas carts.
Both sides have good honest and at times emotional points. However never going to win a debate over the other.
IMHO i'ts easy. If you want to carry
1: Legal Permits
2: Class Room for the legal limits of the law, Range Instructors Carry Instructions. Range Practice and more Practice
3: It's a covert personel protection and is not to show off brag or threaten with.
4: Have fun at the target range drawing imaginary faces on targets!
Well maybe strike #4
