Positive Inquiry

Today while standing at a check out in the pharmacy counter a lady behind me in line got may attention to inquire if I needed anything to carry my gun on my belt for everyone to see?
~
I explained to her that Ohio was an open carry state and that anyone allowed to own a firearm could carry open as long as the gun remained openly visible at all times. Cautioning her that the gun would need to be unloaded without possession of a CHL before she were to enter a car and that the weapon and ammo would need to be in different parts of the vehicle.
~
She explained that she was a member of the local gun club and wants to get her CHL but was unaware of being able to carry a gun that was so exposed publicly. She thanked me for the information and I wished her well on her decision to arm herself for protection.
~
I have yet to find anyone individual who has been put off by my open carrying and I am so glad to see females taking up the cause and arming themselves in this defensive manner.
~
Good on all of you. :wink:
 
Since open carry became legal in my state, I have carried that way. Have had no negative comments about it, only very positive ones. Even the police are behind it.
 
With both open and CC, I find the LEO's are very comfortable with that in VT. Occaisionaly a LEO will ask "So what are you carrying, and how do you like that model". Promotes friendly and sociable conversations.
 
Open carry is not unlawful here in Pennsylvania but never see anyone do it unless they are hunting. I am apprehensive but want to just to see what reactions I get. I know in some areas would be negative because people aren't accustomed to seeing open carry.

Me thinks it will be a different story!

I'm trying to remember the last time I saw anyone OC'ing, and... I can't. Guess I just haven't been in the right place at the right time...

Well... if OC is legal in your State and in the places you frequent.... perhaps when passing a mirror you could see someone open carrying?

OC is legal in Oregon, but, if I bother to look in a mirror as I pass by,,, it's to make sure I'm not printing. :-) just my preference. As they say, your mileage may vary.
 
If you try the public stunt of an open carry in North Carolina, it is more than likely that you will be charged with "going armed to bring terror to the people". This will happen even if you have a valid Concealed Carry Permit. If you have CCP and you intend to carry in North Carolina, keep your hand gun where it is supposed to be, concealed.

Duh, no kidding. OC isn't legal in NC yet. This is the OC thread, btw.

EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking of SC. So if you OC in NC as permitted by law, you will/should not be charged with anything.
Actually, NC is considered a "Gold Star State" when it comes to OC:

My weapon shall be carried as I see fit to carry it.
If it rides on my belt for all the world to see, tough sh!t!

I agree... with the disclaimer that I will carry in a legal manner... not because I agree with the laws that restrict (infringe upon) the right to bear arms but because it is difficult to fight to support the right to bear arms from under Bubba in prison.

Open carry is legal in NC, except in certain restricted areas. EVEN if you have a cHp.
 
Nc oc

No one that replies has ascertained the NC law. OC is legal in NC and it was legal before CC was made legal. However, some localities have maintained that OC is objectionable to their local yokels so the "going armed to the terror of people" concept was developed. I intended my post for informational purposes but as always on the majority of forums, the post was taken as fuel for flamers. In future, I'll keep my information private and you all can learn in whatever method you deem suitable for your purposes.
 
Don't be so thin skinned dude! If you post, people will reply. Not all replies will be to your liking.... Trust me... I know!

Just sayin..... Ya know?

Are you saying that if folks dare question the things you say then you will not say anything? Do you think that would punish those who dare question you? :haha:

If you intended your post to be for informational purposes then why did you word it in a way that would be considered confrontational? I quote your post Sir:

And not expect someone address it?

Look... if OC is legal in NC but there are some areas where there is the extra law of "going armed to the terror of the people" why would you purposely use the wording of...

"public stunt" in reference to open carry and emphasize it by underlining it and the word concealed too while not referencing the actual laws and not expect there to be a firm response?

Also... please provide cites and/or links to those "going armed to bring terror to the people" laws because it would be nice to read them in their proper context and how they might/might not apply to open carry.

Open carry in AZ with no issues at all except the group of Asian folks that wanted to take photos with me.

They need proof lol you just can't go back to Japan and say "yeah, this dude was carrying his gun and the cops didn't try to kill him." They're a society that submitted to the atrocities that drunken samurai committed for a thousand years because the samurai (and bushi) were of a higher class. The effects of feudalism are long lasting indeed
