I told myself right when this thread first started that I was not going to get into a point/counterpoint on open carry...and & I'll just let the members have at it and let the chips fall where they may....and now youse guys are trying to sucker me into one.

There are some interesting posts if you are interested in other peoples thought, experince, and insights.

What kind of trouble? Do you have any examples of it actually happening? Or is it like when the antis say it seems like guns cause violence? Because if we are going to go by the way things "seem" not on verifiable fact maybe no one should own guns much less actually carry one concealed or not

Kind of an unfair comparisons. Dropped onto your shoulder is more akin to an attack isn't it? That would be more like are you more disturbed by a concealed weapon or having a gun pointed at you. I personally am less disturbed by the snake I can see than the one I can't but most disturbed the one attacking me

I've actually seen this subject at several different web sites. It's an interesting subject. While I'd like to be able to openly carry, I don't think I would. Don't get me wrong, I've got a fancy 1911 holster and mag pouch ready to go (in Texas we call them BBQue guns). I've just carried concealed for so long, that open carry would just feel strange. Sort of like going to Home Depot naked.

I bet when you started carrying a gun when before you didn't, it felt strange. Now it's no big deal. Same with open carry. I'd be lying to say I wasn't nervous the first few times. You get used to it.

In MS it gets 120 with a 200% humidity.
OC is allowed and done sometimes.
Walked thru wal-mart OC and purchased 300 rounds
No problems.

Here in Ohio people get harassed by the police for it sometimes, but we are trying to correct that. In this case, the OCer recorded the incedent on his iphone, and you can listen to it. It contains foul language by the police, so use your discretion. It happed a few weeks ago.

The following resulted from this is:

Ledford didn't suffer any PTSD from the incident with the officer based on his actions, demeanor and foul language?

Looks like some places are getting the word out with LE based on confrontations on the streets between law abiding citizens and LE on this issue in Ohio.

Whats that old saw saying, something about ignorance is no excuse to break the law? Ohio POST should probably be addressing this in the academy training as well as yearly in-service. It wouldn't take 5 minutes to get the word out to every officer on the streets through these resources.
