Citizens in good standing that have obtained RPAL and some basic level law enforcement type firearms training should be able to open carry their handgun anywhere and CCW virtually anywhere with a CCW permit-that SHALL be issued if there are no flags in the background checks,Instead of our theoretical ability to get an open carry permit only if you work in isolated wilderness, and only if the CFO feels like approving you.From what I gather, permits to carry are VERY few and far between up here, it's a pity.
