No longer being harassed by police for OCing; could it be true?

doobie · May 26th, 2009, 12:48 PM

Well, after being harassed almost every time I went out walking around Concord, NH open carrying I went three days this long weekend without being stopped or having a police dispatched! I guess they are learning perhaps?

Or could it be my new tee-shirt that says, 'I'm lawfully carrying my pistol(s). Please do not call the police on me'?

I did have a number of people stop me to tell me they liked my shirt. I'm going to have to see about making some more.

Safe carrying all!

I also walked around the Manchester Memorial day festival thing in Arms park. There was a good 1-2k+ people there. I walked by a number of police even asked them a question about when the fireworks started.

All in all a good weekend, hopefully they keep up the lack of harassment :)

Hehehe, sorry but did you say Manchester NH? Open Carry Litter pick up! Sorry. You have someone on youtube from there that organizes Open Carry Litter pickups in Manchester NH.

That is a great idea,.. Dress up in prison garb and open carry,.. Then go out and help pickup litter.. If your real daring, you can put someone with a AR and mirrored glasses sitting watch,.. LOL... Wonder how many people would get freaked out....

To each his own of course, but I'm wondering what makes you want to advertise to the whole world that you are carrying a gun.

I agree. It's like saying "I'm armed. Shoot me first." Think I'll stick with concealed carry.

Please continue to exercise your right, open or concealed.

Yeah, cuz I see police open carrying and being shot first too.

EDIT: Also as the forum description says: "This is not a place to debate the virtues of open vs concealed carry."

We thought of doing this. Having someone dressed up in a Chicken costume open carrying, then when the police are dispatched, have them get out of it.

I've never had problems in Manchester. Concord is where Ihad problems. I had an OC litter clean up and I sported my SW500 with 8 3/4 barrel AND sig239.

I wish we had open carry in Alabama.

I'm aware of the forum description. Sorry, I guess the tee shirt idea prompted my comment.
