Curious as to if any of you Open Carry and how often?

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.

I don't own a gun. Instead I own a spear gun for fishing and will not hesitate to shoot it right into a peeping toms knee caps.

I just saw on the news, not too far from me, another intruder was blasted to death while trying to break in.

If you go around open carrying a gun you're an attention seeker

Im technically open carrying every time I wear a cutoff or a tank

Seriously though, I do only when I'm opening or closing my gym during super early/late hours. Bad area of town and a lot of crime, and I refuse to be attacked by some meth'd out neegul who wants to jack my Jordan's and my Tupperwares of chicken and broccoli. (no racist)

Perfectly legal, but nerve wracking as hell...

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

Good post, I was just going to write something along the lines of "Oh brother, Americans and their guns" following by the little Getbig rolling eyes icon but seeing as you've pretty much nailed it here I'll just be going on my way...

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 have a concealled license permit to pack a handgun in my state, but I don't pack unless I go out to a bad location at night or a club at night.

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.

Stark, a friend of mine is giving an art exhibition in northern ireland in a couple of months and I might be attending, shall I crossover to dublin afterwards and come put a dent in your face?

You always travel along side your boyfriend when he's on business trips?

Actually she lives in dublin like you, but her flat is not right next to a motorway like yours is, so she doesn't get to enjoy the benefits of near-constant traffic noise.

Do you want to meet up? I'll fuck you up for good, you wastebag.

No thank you, you are probably the only getbigger I wouldn't like to meet.
