Here in Arizona, we have "open carry", as the US Constitution intended. Just strap it on your hip (or sling it over your shoulder) and off you go - walking or riding.

Used to see Harley riders with a "hawg leg" strapped to their hips and it was amazing how the cage drivers gave them a wide berth.

Arizona now has a concealed carry law, too, like so many other states. But in the "old days", guys would just put a small pistol into their front pocket - legally.
