[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1761759, member: 24428"] As far as HB2522 goes, I think the only thing missing now is for Ashton Kutcher to jump out with his camera crew and tell us we've been 'PUNKED' with the help of Sen. Russell! One small thing I do to help acclimate people to open carry is when I'm carrying my Ruger LCP in my pocket or my Glock 23 or 19 under my T-shirt IWB... I try to always have a spare magazine in full view on my belt in a drop in / open top magazine holder... the spring tension kind where it is obvious it is a magazine for a firearm. I've been doing this for a long time and never once has it gotten anyone upset... nor have I ever had police officers in say a restaurant or checkout line raise issue over it by asking if I was carrying. If I'm at Walmart... in the sporting goods department and someone is asking the clerk about the best kind of self-defense ammo for their weapon... I pull out the magazine and show them what kind I carry. No law against showing ammo.. only the weapon. I carry Hornady Critical Defense.. which most places like Walmart doesn't sell.. so it gives me a chance in a small way to get people in my town of approx. 30,000 to thinking favorably about someone other than a police officer carrying a weapon. If I can get even one or two people a day to think favorably about personal carry of a firearm... by them seeing someone they believe has weapon & acting in a safe manner.. then that could be 365- 700 a year leaning favorably toward our 2A side. I don't believe in carrying a empty holster like some are doing to support open carry. I'd prefer people to see the loaded Magazine over a empty holster. Guys will see the magazine and ask what kind of weapon I carry or what kind of ammo I carry. It starts the conversation.. then you can point them to this forum and other forums that support Open Carry. [/QUOTE]
