Actually, I'm not sure of what they "allow" or don't. I like you, feel my right of self protection is all that matters. Especially now with the current economic situation this country is in. I feel there will be far more crime in the future. I have a lunch box with a indiscreet, zippered top half that is perfect for keeping it in. It's getting crazy out there, and my wife made me promise to start carrying to work. To me it's just good common sense. Bill T.
