I just returned from a trip from Maryland through West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. I have CCW permits from Virginia, Utah, Florida and New Hampshire. These permits are not recognized in my home state or in West Virginia and South Carolina but they are recognized by the others. I carried the S&W 642 in a pocket holster in my jeans (where it was permissible to do so). It was loaded with Hornady Critical Defense .38 Special ammo (5 rounds). With a shirt worn outside the trousers it was completely concealed and the pistol is so light weight that you almost forget you have it. I found that for summer carry with very light clothing in hot weather, the S&W 642 is a good choice.
