Well you can try.

But I am willing to bet that if you strap a loaded 9" .44 Magnum to your hip and start sauntering down main street Johnny Funwrecker will be on you in a heartbeat. First they'll think you're nuts, then when you cry Second Amendment they'll say you are disturbing the peace and cannot carry a weapon in public if it disturbs those around you. I can see their point.

Best to keep it in your pocket. License or not, if you need it you'll have it. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six they say.
