Open Carry!

[piston10]

You are a little off with this last part of your comment. It is not against the law to conceal carry into an establishment that posts a sign. All they can do is ask you to leave. The only places it is against the law are the ones mentioned in the law. Beyond those establishments, a sticker on a door is not law. It's a sticker on a door placed by an owner of a business that has the right to refuse service. That's like saying its against the law to walk into a store with a sign that says, "no shoes, no shirt, no service", this is a policy of the establishment, not law.

I wondered about this. So what could they do? Ask you to leave and if you don't then it would be trespassing?

You would be covered by the wording " or carried upon the person in a scabbard or case designed for carrying firearms that is wholly or partially visible;"

Having read the definitions of what constitutes a scabbard or case it might be a stretch but I like your thinking.

If you do not leave the premises you can be cited for tresspassing and when the owner explained to the LEO why he asked you to leave you could receive penalities under the SDA.

Concealed is concealed. If asked to leave, leave. You would be gone before LEO would even enter the picture. I have never worried about entering a 7 eleven(have the signs), even when LEO are present. If I do my part to abide by the law, i don't need to worry anout it.

All "against" according to the report. Doesn't match her count (there were other discrepancies in the map, too) but what do you expect at the end of a report of that caliber?

(Yes, I do know they're not in alphabetical order. They're grouped by region.)

So much for the myth of the County Sheriff being America's last best hope for liberty and the ultimate representative of "The People".

Most of them are just as politically motivated and self-serving as our other elected politicians...

It does matter what the Sheriff's think about the new law. One only needs to look at other States where those in power who are against it do everything they can to circumvent the Law. They harass lawful citizens on a regular basis in an attempt to convince the citizens that life would be easier if they would voluntarily give up their rights.

I am concerned about the number of County Sheriffs that are against Open Carry.

Since the Sheriff's Dept. is involved in the process for receiving a handgun permit, it makes me wonder if permits will be denied because of their prejudice.

Agreed. You can only get into trouble if you refuse to leave.

6. Don't assume there will not be a few "das-uber-douche team tactical" dudes that want to look hard and cool and open carry where ever they can. Making people uncomfortable.

Making people uncomfortable. SO - WHAT! Why do those exercising their natural rights have to be the ones that cow tow to the rest? Why?

That's how we lost our gun rights in the first place. Too many wanted to be reasonable and accomodating and they accomodated us into a state of being where the total loss of our rights was not out of the question. Truth be told that scenario is still a real possibility.

Uncomfortable - that's the sheep's problem and something they have to deal with. And it seems that a strong majority of our state legislators agree considering the provisions they placed in 1733 to protect OC'rs from harassment.

OK is a must issue state. Sheriff cannot deny a CWL if one meets all the legal requirements to get one.

That's true, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some "bending" the law.
