Pretty much a non-event from what I can tell I have only seen 2 people OC.
I haven't seen anyone OC since it became legal.
I have seen 3 people OCing. the first was an older man who came to meet me about buying something from me off of craigslist. Perfect example of when you need a permit.
The other 2 were, well, say we say assholes of the highest order. One was carrying a Kimber Pro Platinum (or something like that) and said he only open carries to piss off people who dont like guns. And he went around my friends shop, and he had never met us, without a thought about it. Yes, at any time I could have cracked him with the cresent wrench in my hand in the back of the head and took that pistol. I told him he should be more aware of his surroundings and who he turns his back to when carrying that nice of a pistol. Ive been around him a couple of times since, hes quite the douche.
the other was at my Doctors office. he was open carrying, and by carrying I mean he didnt have a holster, just carried it in his hand. when he sat down next to me, he tucked it under his leg, pointed at me. I told him to point it the other way so if it went off, it wouldnt him me or the other people in there. He seemed a little disgusted, but he did it.
Im not against open carry, but not quite all for it either. And, I realize not everyone is like the last 2 aholes, but as has been said before, there are idiots everywhere. I even talked to the first guy about it, and told him that I didnt mind at all he brought a gun.
I'd ask why didn't you call the police on the guy at your doctor's office for brandishing, but I'm calling BS on the stories so why bother...
As long as he is the business owner, he can walk around with his gun in his hand inside his place of business all he wants. It's just monumentally stupid. But I'm with you...I have a hard time even believing it's true.
I was at Robbin RV in Idabel the other day, a customer at the parts counter said, "You know, I'm LE, and you are the first person I've seen OC since the law passed. Thank you for exercising your 2nd Amendment rights."
I think I've already posted about the clerk at WalMart telling me my hammer was back. I pointed to the grip safety and explained the thumb safety and he was cool with it, thought it was a good idea. He just didn't know anything about 1911's.
Anybody else feel that way?
