I have done so... only to and from the  gun range though.

Never just riding around.

I do leave it in the seat on top of a towel when transporting.

I'm seeing it a lot more everyday here in AZ. I'm totally cool with it. I haven't felt the need to yet, but my .45 is almost always in my truck or in my pack round chambered ready to go.

Can't carry firearms open or concealed here in Illinois.

I would love to carry a concealed firearm however I wouldn't want to open carry.
I think it freaks people out when they see a gun on someone's hip during normal everyday activities like going to bank or grocery store.

That sucks about Illinois.

  In NC you can open carry with no permit and concealed carry with a permit.  

I prefer open carry to concealed.

Open carry....

Its in the same ballpark like "Fall" as in the season "fall" - leaves are falling so we call it fall ::) - the rest of the world calls that particular season Autumn - but no that's a little too complicated for my Yanks.

Open carry ::)
The whole thing is ridicules to the extreme, Americans always need an enemy, a few years back it was the russians, before that the Germans and in between all kinda other.
Now its the GOVERNMENT, that want to take away your RIGHTS!!! lolol - we NEVER had any rights, democracy is an illusion which was never better illustrated than in the US, your rights are tolerated until you become an annoyance.

And how do I despise these fucking open carry faggots and don't get me wrong I LOVE GUNS!!! I think they are neat and fun, but anybody who wants to make a point of "his rights" hahaha by carrying a shotgun in a busy shopping mall closely followed by his comrades in "arms" filming the cops needs to be shot on the spot - I don't even know how they are tollerated by the general public? Why don't they beat the ever loving shit out of these guys? They don't shoot you anyways, since most of these spineless cowards need to "carry a firearm" to be tough.

The whole open carry things is pretentious to the extreme - OH look at me my right are not meet, I am an american citizen I am special I carry my firearm openly.

Faggots

Doesn't seem so smart.  Makes you the first obvious target if someone is going to start shooting and even a piss poor fighter could take it off your hip if you're surprised.  Also makes you a target for police in tense situations, of interest to the police in calm situations, and reduces the amount of time police will spend scanning the room for bad guys since they need to focus on the guy with the pistol.

Now ask any one of these guys and they will preach to you about the constitution and about their forefathers and history and freedom and liberty and all that horseshit.
But drill right down to it and you will almost instantly to 99% see that these guys like to wear firearms because they get looks and they feel like their on a program - that special feeling you get when you know the whole world is against you that feeling you are unique.

Its bollox.

BINGO!!!!

You carry a firearm because it makes sense, would you carry a firearm to wallmarkt because you feel to make a statement? probably not and why? Because you see the firearm what it really is, its a fucking tool to protect you, not a dick extension.

I bet you any money I have if you go into a bad neightbor hood and "open carry" if you are white none of he cops wills stop you, but hey a guy strolling into wallmarkt with a benelli might raise a few eyebrows.

Open carry, no. It always seems to upset the sheep. I normally carry a small backpack with all sorts of interesting things in it but I like to leave it in my car.
 If I do carry its a small frame auto IWB at 4 oclock, I also have one of those photographers vests with a nice inside chest pocket that conceals nicely.

There's some sense in your humor.  With the exception of desert island scenarios ("I went to watch Batman and a lunatic shot up the place." when openly carrying a gun would be more of a liability than concealed anyway), 999/1000 confrontations are going to be face to face.  You'd be brawling and rolling around before having time to unholster the gun, even against a drunken lout.  Everyone's first thought is going to be to stop the gun.

Hell, I'd be very inclined to attack a confrontational guy who I knew had a gun rather than give him the space to draw it, whereas if I didn't know he had one I'd just consider him a dickhead and not do a damn thing.  Advertising a weapon makes no sense at all.

the element of surprise is what you want.

if 2 dudes enter a place intent on robbing it, your open carry ass is going to be the first headshot before they announce anything.

Better to be just another scared face in the crowd they're controlling - at some point BG #1 will be close with back turned.  You pop him in the head, and while his buddy is looking for the source of shot, you're putting 5 in his torso while moving against his body - covering your brain with cupped hand and heart with elbow.

move, shoot, live.

Carring a gun without concealment is a big risk too. If you have a gun on your hip; the guy 5 feet away from you has one too. Meaning the one on your hip that he could wrestle away from you. Making the decision to shoot is often a split second decision. It will then be talked about  for weeks/months in the news, streets, courts and juries. There will be debate on whether it was the right decision. When they decide what was the right move you could be free and clear, sued; or in jail. You had a split second to decide to pull the trigger.

Everyone has in their mind's eye has the bad guy with a gun and you come to the rescue shooting the bad guy as everyone cheers. Most shootings are never black and white.

 I'm making this up but let me put a couple of scenarios out there.

1. You're sitting in a bar and a drunk says go fuck yourself and get out of the bar. You stand your ground and continue drinking. He walks up to and punches you in the face knocking you down. Can you kill this man?  Can you really say you are in fear for your life? Should you meet him with the same level of force or will that expose your gun that he could use against you?

2. You get into a car accident. You get out of your car and you notice the other driver has a shoulder holster under his suit. Is he legal carrying civilian, cop or criminal? You have your gun too. He says I should kick your ass for ruining my brand new car. He starts walking toward you. Can you take his life?

3.You are watching batman in the movies. A guy comes in with smoke grenades and starts shooting. There is absolute chaos. You pull out your gun and shoot him dead. Amazingly you didn't shoot an innocent movie watcher. People are screaming, it's dark; and people are running all over the place. People are on the ground dead and wounded. You have no idea if there is another shooter. The cops come in with 15 guys and see you with a gun. Do you have time to explain yourself?


I could go on with examples. In rural states like Arizona I can see civilians carrying but in NJ/NY it would cause a lot of deaths.

I`m not sure of the crime statistics there in the Smokies, but shootings and armed robbery should be very low when compared to the rest of the country and per capita.  There are only rural whites out there and there is nothing to rob.

Everyone who supports strict gun control come from or live in large cities with a too large police force.  It makes no sense for them to dictate their nonsense to someone who lives miles and miles away from police or a sheriff which a large number of people in the United States do.  In rural areas you can`t just wait for the cops to show up.  In some places it may take an hour or more.

^^^ This.

Open carry isn't smart from a stategic view.  You're advertising your strengths and weaknesses to everyone.  Know your 'Art of War', "In Battle, confrontation is done directly, victory is gained by surprise."    If I know you're armed I have the advantage on you.  If your weapon is concealed you have the advantage on me.

Also...firearms aren't cheap.  To open carry is like wearing flashy jewelry.

I wouldn't want to open carry for the simple fact that too many cops have the idea of shoot first ask questions later. And when they shoot and kill you, they don't have to plant a weapon on you because you already have it in plain sight. And there not exactly the most honest people in the world. Fuck that.

I don't carry at all but have firearms all over my house and vehicles. If I did carry it would be concealed. Stick with the art of surprise.

Surprise as in when your five year old nephew is visiting and finds one of the numerous "pieces" you have buried under couch cushions, etc?

I keep a baseball bat in the backseat. I own a handgun but never really feel the need to carry it.One of these days I'm going to get another one just to keep in the car. I don't want to get my only one stolen. Or Ill throw a cheap pump gun in the backseat with a box of shells.
I'm either at work or at the gym. On the weekend I'm at the bar can't carry when drinking. Plus I feel safe where I live never had a problem. I would never tell someone not to carry if they wanted to though.

Haha. Where are you from? Even the libs own guns here in the southern US.

 I don't have any relatives with small children and all my guns are in combo cases and unloaded except the ones in my vehicles. I can chamber a round quickly. The ones in my truck amd car are just in quick release holsters with a clear barrel. Quick to chamber also.

Actually my dad goes to the range and takes my son.  I have never gone though.  I didn't want to impose on their boy time together.

I wouldn't want to open carry for the simple fact that too many cops have the idea of shoot first ask questions later. And when they shoot and kill you, they don't have to plant a weapon on you because you already have it in plain sight. And there not exactly the most honest people in the world. Fuck that.

agreed.  Some fcking jumpy rookie...

Today I'm walking along with shaved head, fanny pack, decent size, surveying every potential threat as I moved form bank to car...

And this cop starts cruising behind me like I"m the bad guy.  The fanny was so I coudl pack the big glock with sweats while doin my banking... but it damn near got me gaffled.  I did nothing wrong and waited for him to leave before leaving so he didn't tail me for a half hour. 


But yeah, cops don't always understand there are good guys out there with guns.   Shit hits fan, they're going apeshit on anything they see.   Best bet in a messy shooting/robbery is to hit ground like everyone else and just shoot the closest bad guys first.  They have zero loyalty once their friend pinkmists in front of them.

the word alone just screams american ::)

Open carry....

Its in the same ballpark like "Fall" as in the season "fall" - leaves are falling so we call it fall ::) - the rest of the world calls that particular season Autumn - but no that's a little too complicated for my Yanks.

Open carry ::)
The whole thing is ridicules to the extreme, Americans always need an enemy, a few years back it was the russians, before that the Germans and in between all kinda other.
Now its the GOVERNMENT, that want to take away your RIGHTS!!! lolol - we NEVER had any rights, democracy is an illusion which was never better illustrated than in the US, your rights are tolerated until you become an annoyance.

And how do I despise these fucking open carry faggots and don't get me wrong I LOVE GUNS!!! I think they are neat and fun, but anybody who wants to make a point of "his rights" hahaha by carrying a shotgun in a busy shopping mall closely followed by his comrades in "arms" filming the cops needs to be shot on the spot - I don't even know how they are tollerated by the general public? Why don't they beat the ever loving shit out of these guys? They don't shoot you anyways, since most of these spineless cowards need to "carry a firearm" to be tough.

The whole open carry things is pretentious to the extreme - OH look at me my right are not meet, I am an american citizen I am special I carry my firearm openly.

Faggots

Just because its legal doesn't mean you HAVE todo it, that's my whole point these people don't do it because they feel a legit threat and want to defend themselves they do it because they want to play the victim and mind you every "open carry look what the cops did" video is filmed in an area that is nice and save.

Also this is a white mans past time, I've never seen a black man open carry video, they have learned over years that openly carrying guns and being black doesn't really go together unless you are a member of the black panther movement.

Again these are lame middle class white males and some females with empty lives that need to fuck with the government and the local police to give their live some purpose

Doesn't seem so smart.  Makes you the first obvious target if someone is going to start shooting and even a piss poor fighter could take it off your hip if you're surprised.  Also makes you a target for police in tense situations, of interest to the police in calm situations, and reduces the amount of time police will spend scanning the room for bad guys since they need to focus on the guy with the pistol.

I agree.

Carrying a visible firearm makes you a target.

Going to the range is a great original date,and like you said safety first. Gun owners who have taken safety classes and gotten their firearm legally have respect for it.

Lets say somebody really likes to shoot guns but don't want to keep them at home, like a gun storage space, does ranges in America provide customer with that service?

I can't for the life of me thing of one reason you wouldn't want them at home?  I'm not sure anyone would trust such a business.

Are you talking secure storage for very valuable guns?

If you're worried about kids getting to your guns, buy a good gun safe and use it......except for your home defense weapon of choice.   ;D
