I thought it would be interesting to know how many people you see OCing on a daily basis. NOT INCLUDING UNIFORMED LEOs. If you would also please put your state.
I open carry when I am walking the family late at night. secluded trails and dark secluded streets are the name of the game to put the babies to sleep in the stroller.
Exactly the scenario in which an upgrade from the 5 shot .38 to the double stack 45 is in order... I do this a couple times a month maybe? my wife has even started OCing on these occasions....
Last time I saw someone ELSE was a, um, very obvious lesbian couple, and the, um, "butch(?)" - had a what looked like a PPK maybe? on her hip in a cheap cloth holster....? in Wal-Mart. - good for them... I guess...? that was, gosh, 4 moths ago now?
Pre no permit for CC in AZ you saw it all the time .. We have been OC since the cowboy days .. .No permit ... I see it a fair ammont esp in the summer whens its hot .. Usally full size gun
IN my local areas of interest and travel, I never see anyone in OC. I live in the suburbs of a major city and never see an OC citizen, oven though in my State, a license to carry means you can legally carry in OC or concealed carry. but when I go Up State to much more rural areas, mountains and hunting lands , OC is much more prevalent.

Reckon it depends on where you are in the state. I dont get out a terrible lot to town but anytime I do its nothing to see 2 or three in the 2 or three hours im there. In car dealerships, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. If anything since the big O tried his dance o grab a gun Ive seen more OC around here than before and there was always quite a bit.
I think based on some I know well enough to talk too that its legal here with nothing. They can get a handgun here with nothing but cash needed, and refuse to jump thru state hoops to do something they have every right to do without it. At least thats been the general gist I get.
I was out Saturday and saw four OC in 3 hours. Monday there was an OC person here at my home. See it all the time. Nobody pays it any mind.
I do have a CCDWL but I OC also depending. Church Ill CC sometimes cc to grocery sometimes OC depending on my mood. Never had the first word said by anyone nor LEOs. Wouldnt matter if they did since theres diddly they can do about it in KY.:yup:
I expect them to. That is why I split the difference at 10. NON PERMIT State Preemption OC was made legal in KS 01 July 2014. But I have not seen one OCer since, maybe I just don't get out enough.
In Ohio, where open carry has always been legal, I have seen less than ten during my fifty years here, excluding gun shows and Second Amendment demonstrations.
PA here its legal in PA you really dont even need a permit/license to OC....there are a few rules for bigger cities and car carry..but you can OC..LUCKILY even so I only see about 1 or 2 a month if that..honestly thinking back last time I saw someone OC was late April early May....not seen once since.
PA.
Not counting gun shop owners/employees or hunters, one in the time I remember, and I'm 54.
Oh, and not counting myself either.
One guy wearing all black T shirt, tactical pants and cap at a local grocery store. He was walking around picking items off the shelves and reading the labels. I asked the cashier if they hired a guard and she said no. I assumed he was doing the "OC walkaround" and didn't want to drive to the Walmart.
I didn't really have a valid option in the poll. I see zero open carrying each month and it's actually legal in my state. I can't remember actually seeing one, but that might be because I live in an area that's dominated by progressives who flip out at even the mention of a gun, much less actually seeing one.
I might see OC a few times a years. The people are always the same. They're wearing ridiculous military looking outfits and walking around with an attitude begging for someone to say something to them. Nice guns, though.
Being legal here in Georgia, I would expect to see more, especially since I live outside the "city" atmosphere. I OC on a few selective occasions, but I think the best defense is a concealed carry.
Oregon is open carry. Here in Northwest Oregon, I see two or three a month usually in a LGS. In Eastern Oregon or the less populated Western Oregon rural counties, I often open carry and see two or three a day.
Not a lot. I live in the northern part of Ohio in the outlying suburbs south of Cleveland. I've never seen anyone OC up here. I do have to travel out to the sticks for my job regularly and see it every now and then out there.
I'm just NE of the largest city in KY. I see others OC 2-3 times a month. Walmart, the farm supply store, gun shops. A woman at a corner store up the road OC's while she's at work.
