    No more. SCOTUS busted that. But you still can't carry them AFAIK.

    Yep. You can actually do predictive work to forecast when upticks in this sort of activity are likely to occur. Like dunemetal said, sunny weather, warm nights (especially Friday, Saturday and Thursday nights), holiday weekend, start of summer, schools out, etc.
