Dont have my CCW yet, conflicts with work. But since they allow open carry in some parts of the NRA convention, I am going to give it a shot. Never done it in public before, just around the house cooking and doing house work lol

Good idea. OCing for the first time in an environment rich with pro-gun people should generate very low stress.

I cant wait! Never open carried in public, always cold feet. But being a place where it is accepted, I have a better feeling :)

I can't wait for Pittsburgh.

I'll probably CC til I get there, then "expose myself" so to speak, upon entering.

Don't forget the DC.com meet and greet on Saturday at Rocky's booth!!

I OCed in Kentucky last year at the convention. It was a moot issue. You're not with sheep, so the crowd doesn't care.

Akross

Second that.

Went to the open air free NRA concert downtown in Phoenix last night.

I open carried to and at the event and only saw 2 other guys OC'ing. Would have liked to have seen more, but didn't really walk through the crowd either.

Seemed like a lot of police and security staff there as well.

GunnyBunny

I was doing it there today!!
