[QUOTE="Foghorn, post: 1795242, member: 8834"] Dont be Diss'n on my "Energy Rings"!!! Most of the public when they hear open carry envision pearl handled six guns in fine leather tooled holsters or semi autos in shoulder rigs. When they see someone with a gun not in one of those, like a black (evil) glock in an IWB appendix holster or some other rig thats where the hysteria will come in. It will blow over as they become more accostomed to seeing open carry. But frankly I still see a few tense encounters between Leo's and oc'ers until it becomes more "normal". We've been talking about how to approach people in those cases without offending or seeming to cautious.... Suggestions would be appricated(maybe a new thread is needed) I can always tell when I stop someone on traffic that hangs around here or other responsible sites vs those who just started or are just winging it. My favorite was the guy who had half his body out the window, hands in the air and yelled "I have a gun!!" as I approached. We talked about better ways to notify in the future. And I think he joined up here.. [/QUOTE]
