They don't issue concealed carry permits, but *open* carry is technically legal
throughout the state, with some the exception of a few localities (last I
checked anyway).  However, the police can, and do, choose to harrass you with
bogus charbges like 'inciting panic' or some other trumped up bullshit if
someone complains about the pistol on your hip.

There are no laws restricting pistol ownership, other than obvious ones
(minors, criminal history, mental instability, etc).

Rifle ownership is relatively unrestricted.  You are allowed to carry it
visibly in your vehicle (i.e. pickup trucks with gun racks) if the action is
seperate an inaccessible from the interior of the vehicle.  At least when I
last researched...
