From CMD: "Concealed Carry" proposals are very controversial, especially because many cities have made it a crime to carry a concealed firearm, due to public safety concerns. Traditionally, law enforcement groups-- such as police and sheriff's groups-- have opposed legislation to allow permits or otherwise authorize the concealment of firearms and have urged governors to veto such statutes as well.
