When I was in WA open carrying, nobody said anything. My dad asked me 3 days into my visit if I had been carrying the whole time...Yep! And when I drew down on one of the guys robbing my sister's place, told him I had a gun pointed at him (night time), he asked "you actually have a gun?".

Mine is usually a variation on "Are you a police officer?"
It's usually more along the lines of "Are you Security?" as I am 6'4" and about 300#, so my build isn't that of most LEOs around here (except several Sherriff's Deputies). Although once or twice, it has been other things; usually when I'm in office semi-casual - slacks, shirt and tie - along with an OC'd 1911 and double mag carrier.

Q: Why are you carrying that gun?
A: Because it would look awful silly carrying me around. |

"Other". I've OC'd only a bit after getting my HCP this year. "Other" = no questions or looks. Nobody died either.

I have been asked all of the questions and have had this discussion on other boards.
I always try to be polite in my answers. When I was younger I always used rule #23 and meant it. Now that I'm older I am more polite. :)

My experience (in only a couple of weeks!) is the same as TN Mike: "Is that a real gun?"

I think a good answer would be... Yes, but if you don't mind, we're filming here.

I have my CCP for ID but it is not required to open carry so I hide it. I do not want to get stopped by LEOs asking why I carry cuz some sheeple called 911.
