I50sx you didn’t mention what state you are in. As you can see there are a lot of differences in what each state will allow. Kentucky is really a wonderful state.
Benefits of having a permit… Well you can open carry here without a permit, but if you have your permit you can carry and be
private about it. (
*Except where prohibited) Also our Ky. permit covers
more. (The following is from a Kentucky State Police web site.

• Nunchaku karate sticks.
