When I took my concealed carry class many moons ago, we were instructed that the concealed carry permit only applies to handguns. It does not apply to knives, rifles, shotguns, and other such weapons. I generally carry a rifle openly on the passenger side in plain sight and have never had any problems going through license check points. I also generally carry one pistol concealed in my pocket and one concealed in the center console.
