As long as the banjo isn't in a case, I think it's okay.

Does it have to be a belt or shoulder case?

1) What's the statue made out of, paper mache?
2) That old saying of my youth was apparently wrong, you CAN hit a bull in the {something} with a bass fiddle {or banjo}.

Re: Can I open carry my Banjo into Walmart?
Yes, you can open carry your banjo in Walmart.
As long as it has a maximum of 4 strings, no more.

Does a banjo use a clip or a magazine? Asking for a journalist friend.

Did he obtain the banjo legally or, was it from an undocumented pharmacist and banjo dealer who conveniently never remembers his background check device while dealing banjos and pharmaceuticals behind the 7-11 anyway??DocV wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 3:25 pmhttps://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/M ... yZwTrqIL-0asking for a friendA man damaged the Wall Street's famous "Charging Bull" statue on Saturday by attacking it with a banjo, police said.

I'm pretty sure it's legal in Arkansas and in a few states in the Appalachians.
