The only time I have open carried is at the gun range during a tournament. The only comment I have had was
"Gosh. I thought Glocks were accurate. Why can't you hit ?"

Most of the time people fail to notice, but those who do ask
"Are you allowed to carry a gun around like that?" I just say "Yes open carry is legal in Alaska!" One guy said "I should get one!" I assume he meant buying a handgun which is cool. I can only hope he becomes proficient in its use.

"Are you a police officer?"
Which is always met with a friendly "Nope, just an ordinary citizen." Which opens up the "how can you carry a gun then?" and a great discussion on how NC is an OC state, how to get your CCHP, yes I am an instructor, yes my company does do Concealed Carry classes, here's my card. ;)

As for me, my most often asked question is more a statement. To wit; "That looks like a gun." I usually tell them that it IS a gun. To which the next question is "Can you take it out of the holster so I can look at it?" ![]() "Uhh, no." ![]() |

So, what you need to do is give your state legislature a bit of perspective and get rid of the "no open carry" stuff. |
