Where will you open carry, if anywhere?

While this is awesome and cool to talk about on here, do you guys think it will actually pass?

I think it has a better than decent chance of being signed into law by the Governor.

Yes,it's on the Governors desk and if he vetoes it there's enough votes to over ride him. Steve

Not the only post in this thread stating the same thing quoted above so I am not picking on Badge Bunny who wrote it just commenting on the concepts behind it.

What the hell is wrong with those of you who think those who will choose to open carry are trying to prove they are Billy Bad Ass. Geez.

OC=Comfort
OC=Quicker Presentation if necessary
OC=A way to normalize the presence of firearms in our society thru desensification

I'm sure there are other reasons but those are my top three.

The tacticians can argue all they want that OC equals giving up the element of surprise and I'll argue right back that predators are hunting for prey not other predators.

The bliss ninny apologists can argue all they want that OC will scare the sheep and it is only polite to cover up. And I'll argue right back that I am not responsible for their neurosis or their phobias - they are. I will not be inconvenienced for them.

The politicians can cry out "there'll be blood in the streets" all they want and I'll shout back where is it? Show me!

And on and on and on...

Those of us who choose to open carry (assuming the government gives us permission - to do something that is a natural right) won't be doing it to prove we are Billy Bad Asses and it's down right insulting to be told that; especially by fellow firearms enthusiasts and freedom lovers that ought to know better.

+1,well said in usual Werewolf "in your face" fashion. Steve

Thank you Werewolf!

I'm sure I'll OC some, more like rarely. More than me though, my wife probably will. What better a deterrent in a parking lot than a robber seeing his potential prey then realizing she has a gun on her hip?!!

 

[Crosstimbers Okie]

I won't have to worry if the wind blows up my vest or jacket.

 

[slade1]

I wouldn't open carry but I do like the option.

 

[dennishoddy]

I'll never open carry, but won't complain about those that want to strut around.
My only reason for wanting this for me, is that if something occurs that makes my CC show.

OC depends on when and where. I bicicyle for exercise and it would be nice to have one Ruger LCP strapped in a holster on the handle bar. I would like the option to OC when I feel like it.

However, I believe many businesses will have signs saying something like "No exposed firearms" Got to respect their rules. If many Businesses have those signs then it'll limit OC areas except on sidewalks, etc.
OC while fishing, etc would be nice to do, also
