This. Most advocates of open carry probably aren't looking to actually open carry. But freedom from the requirement to stay concealed would be nice.

Then again, dual pearl-handled Colts strapped to my thighs might make me look cool... :)

You seem to have heard about different felons than we have around here. Thinking itself often doesn't enter into their process, let alone rational thinking.

I don't open carry much either since I got my permit to carry concealed. But I am very happy to see so many defending the right despite their not exercising it themselves.

I"m in FL and we can't open carry. I got a great OWB holster with the PPQ I got for Christmas. I OC around the house, but have to CC out in public. I CC with an IWB holster and when I OC around the house, I have to readjust my belt because it feels like my pants want to drop with the OWB holster.

I wish we would make OC legal here.

For it? yes and it's legal in my state, but I don't choose it for myself.

I think I read somewhere that Fla is going to try and re-introduce the idea of open carry in 2013 but I cannot remember where I read it.

I would.....
1} Buy a Hi-Point
2} Get a lawyer on retainer
3} Open Carry past the police headquarters
4} Plan my retirement

I may be dum but I ain't stoopid and I ain't gonna let no SOB intimidate me into surrendering a lawful right.

I thought of doing exactly that, F350. I'm already retired but I sure could stand to live more comfortably, lol.

Conceal and carry permit holder robbed with own gun | kare11.com

'nuff said.

That was concealed carry, doesn't really prove the point.

I'm for choice like we have in Tennessee--the law doesn't specify how you carry. It's even called a Handgun Carry Permit. Me personally, no. I don't wish to call any atttention to myself.
