CCW question
I would like to know if a CCW includes edged weapons? I have heard that it varies from state to state so; if you respone please indicate what state you live in and any supporting information. Opinions are also welcome. Thanks

No TR, it is a choice you are given when you are old enough to properly handle a firearm! It has nothing to do with the "governments consent" through CCW!0 -

Scenario: You are in a Liquor store, gas station, bank, what have you, and an armed robbery is starting to take place while you have your weapon on you. If you are in the store during said time do you have the right to draw your weapon to take down said felon? Or must you remain just a bystander during a robbery? Also what is said perp pointed his weapon toward you demanding money, jewelry or anything else what are your options? I'm not saying that vigilante justice is necessary but just curious as to what you can do. This has been brought up a few times while I was at work and always wanted to here a educated response.
I have to agree with jwb267; sounds like you're looking for a legal opinion.
This scenario has nothing to do with "vigilante justice". A vigilante is defined as a member of a vigilante committee that appoints itself to provide justice.
vig?i?lan?te, noun: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate)
You can ask a million what-if questions and still not get an answer to every possible situation; your judgement will have to suffice.0 -

It's tough because in situations like this sometimes you just react (or don't react). If I feel like my life or someone else's life is threatened then it is time to take action. If the guy seems "calm" and just wants some property IMO it is not worth the trouble to use lethal force (by trouble I mean the potential lawsuit, and waste of time defending myself and paying for a lawyers kid to go to school). I have always viewed my ccw as primarily being for my or my loved ones protection, I have no desire to fight crime or protect society as a whole. You would most likely be justified in using force in this situation, so if the guy seemed sketchy it would probably be a good idea to err on the side of caution and plug him.
Can't argue with that.
Just wanted to comment on your sig...
You made me go and dig sumthin out of the closet that I hadn't looked at in years:
