Legal and practical to carry a concealed Keltec Sub-2000?

[Falstaff]

When I lived in "Kalifornia" I carried a loaded, Colt Commander .45, concealed and I didn't care as much about the [stupid] law as I did my safety [and] I had to pull it twice to protect myself.

Now I live In phoenix with a CCW and carry this 10MM concealed:

Word. Afterall, it's only a misdameanor right?

A misdemeanor that can carry a year in county if the judge sees fit...

Why would anyone need to carry a rifle around in a bag? CCW a pistol in a holster is great, im all for it, carrying a rifle folded up in a bag...idk about that. And say what you want about liberal hearing me, it doesnt matter, there mind where made up along time ago. Also just because im pro-gun and pro-ccw doesnt mean i have to support ridiculous ideas like this because liberals will get off on it, i have my own mind and enjoy using it.

Yeah, CCW would be great...if we could do it. I don't know what county the OP lives in, but I'd assume that it's not a shall-issue county since he's considering carrying a long gun. The method of carry he's describing is also going to cause less problems than UOC since people don't actually see the gun. In my opinion, we should use any and all methods of carrying guns in public that are currently legal until we get shall-issue CCW. We need to realize the limitations of practicality, though; LUCC isn't practical for immediate dangers, etc.

I'm not sure of the P.C. but I think its a $200 fine for the first offense. FWIW

ETA, But the handgun must be registered to you.

$1000 fine last I checked.

Only a $1,000? Might be worth it if it saves yer life...Just sayin'... I guess subsquent convictions are felonies though? Or could you just start collecting serial misdemeanor CCW charges as an (expensive) workaround to CA's refusal to issue CC permits?

But it's a felony to carry a concealed double edeged knife- go figure!

Take the risk and and carry a handgun, a rifle in my opinion is a stupid idea and you give the liberals and uneducated public a bad review of responsible gun owners. You should go to CVS, they have a magazine called Personal Protection or is it Concealed CArry. If you see it you know what I'm talking about, well its has cases in which concealed carry law abiding citizens were charge with crimes and felonies for just defending themselves. In court the proscution will say you had time to take a rifle out of a gym bag, load it and fire 5 rounds into a guy, why didn't you run away. I'M NOT AGAINST CONCEALED CARRY, I"M TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM A BAD DAY. Like some you have a field day on SKS rifles and 922r there was a time called preban, I stay away from SKS BOARDS like some of you dislike AR15.com. Combat Exchange is preban, its like your hicaps mags. Like 922r review the Castle Doctrine and Stand your ground laws, they differ for some states.

If you're concerned about giving gun owners a bad name, I'd be more worried about doing something illegal like CCing a pistol without a permit than legally carrying a long gun. I'd rather have somebody think I'm nuts for LUCCing a long gun that's legal, than be prosecuted for doing something illegal. If you're really worried about our image as gun owners, care more about not doing anything illegal than what people think of your legal activities.
