Hmmm. Not overly, I assume it's just a "suggestion" but am not sure. But I have had to travel there quite a bit for work, and I usually feel mostly secure. But I am aware a lot of people carry them in the US, and mostly just keep to myself moreso than I normally would outside of work things.

In a few states it's a law but mostly it's a suggestion and at worse you'll get kicked out. I know New York has a law and maybe California.

Interesting. I had no clue. Thanks for the info.
