7. No dilemma. Carrying alone is a prima facie crime under those circumstances

If there criminal has no felonies, is over 21 but has no CCW it is a crime
If the criminal has a felony record, mere possession is a crime anywhere
If the criminal is less than 21 regardless of record it is a crime anywhere

In some states. like CA, certain misdemeanor also prohibit firearms possession

To say that cops cannot arrest a criminal for just carrying is either miscommunication or a bad lie.
