1. CCW required for open carry in a vehicle

2. Additional restrictions may be at a local level

3. Only allowed when traveling

4. Only allowed with special permit or license; additional
restrictions may apply

5. Open carry requires CCW permit

6. Open carry prohibited in vehicle; permitted on person.

Most federal laws do not distinguish between open and
concealed carry. The one exception is aboard commercial
aircraft. Federal law prohibits carrying a concealed
dangerous weapon aboard an aircraft but not an unconcealed
one. This loophole is closed by FAA Regulations, which
prohibit any carrying of a dangerous weapon whether or not
concealed.
