Do any of you carry concealed while driving to a range/club to target practice?
Again, I am getting conflicting responses on the legality of doing that.
Just curious if anybody on here does it.
Your best bet would be to ask the Chief in your town what is acceptable. IANAL but I would not CCW with a restricted LTC
Ask your licensing officer. Some towns say it's fine to CCW while heading to the range/sporting event. Some say it's not.
I wouldn't.

And both towns are correct. It is completely dependent on what your own town's CLEO/licensing officer defines the restriction as. There is absolutely no statewide standard in place.
. . . and the opinion of any LEO who may stop you along the way!! There's the rub. Opinions differ and an on-scene officer is NOT going to check with your CLEO for his interpretation.
Is it actually an arrestable offense to violate the restriction?
Nope, it's a non-arrestable misdemeanor.
So, procedurally, if a LEO thinks you violated the restriction, they could cite you with one of those "application of criminal complaint" things, and then you'd either have to appeal it or (failing to do that) show up in court?

If your licensing officer wanted you to carry concealed, he would have issued you an unrestricted license. He didn't.
just remember MRA open 24/7
Also remember that entrusting your ability to legally possess a handgun in the future on a plan to lie to a court or police officer in the event you get caught carrying against restrictions is probably not the wisest course of action.
