Amazingly, it is perfectly legal to flaunt a weapon here (Portland, Maine). Some dipwad was cruising the streets with the same type of gun used in the recent killings. The police got 65 complaints, but, incredibly, they could not, by law, even ask to see a permit -- not to mention detain him. Exercising 2nd Amendment "rights" in the finest of fashion.

So who here open-carrys and what reactions do you get?

I've heard more and more about gun laws in the US.
Its ridiculous.

Guns outside of homes should be made illegal period.
 
"Flaunting" is in many places a legal term, and merely carrying a weapon doesn't count, even if it's strung over your back while you bicycle or jog.

I open carry on occasion. The reactions I've gotten vary from politeness to fights stopping to saving my life to a security guard at a mall who started a conversation about the best gun for self-defense.

Yeah, that was the mall that later decided guns were forbidden. Then it had a shooter invade it.
 
This is why i thank god that i do not live in a country that is gun mad .
Honestly they even issue gun permits to people who have a history of mental illness , and i am sure this post will get lots of "you dont know what the fuck you are talking about" .

My personal opinion is that people who openly carry feel that it makes them into something they are not , and before people get all uppity that is my opinion , which i believe i am entitled to .

Yeah, this sort of description - that implies the general population is in love with guns and people here are just a weird aberration - makes everyone think you're willfully blind.

Jesus, the heaviest thing I carry when I run is an iPod Nano. And even that annoys me.
 
I idea of kuli carrying in the open

Flaunting it

Is scary mofo shit
 
There are too many things to carry like wallet, phone and car/house keys and these things are quite bulky already. Carry guns around is just stupid because of bulkiness.

I think they should go to the extreme and carry machine guns around everywhere.
That would make them fit.
 
The only time I had the urge was when I lived in California. However, there it was a form of civil disobedience. It is exceedingly difficult to get a concealed carry permit in California so the gun clubs decided to open carry which is perfectly legal. It does require the police to stop and talk to those carrying because you cannot carry a loaded weapon. So the cops had to stop you and verify it was unloaded.

Jan 1 2012 open carry was made illegal in California. Until it is challenged in district and then the supreme court.

Still I never felt the need. Attracting undue attention to yourself is pointless and the many instances of open carry in public places probably did more to push for the ban in place now than anything.

Beyond all of that, I am for more screening and keeping of information on gun owners. Closing of the loop hole that allows gun show and internet purchases to be free of background checks. I doubt I will ever open carry as i sit here now but there could come a time in the National Parks when I would open carry. Bears, wildcats and such don't really give a fuck if your carrying or not. I would prefer the Ranger be fully aware of what I am carrying before he approaches me.

LOL

Anyone who wears anything feels the same way, from sun glasses to foot gear.


Actually, I confess: when I wear my Ruger, it makes me feel like something, all right --






lopsided a bit to the left.

The only negative reaction I've ever gotten was from a gal who sneered no one needed a gun. She was corrected by her 12-y.o. son, who informed her that if someone attacked me out working on the trail, no cops could help me.

I see people walking with a water bottle on a hip. A decent sidearm is no more bulky.

Some of us open carry as a form of protest -- to get a concealed carry license, a person must undergo treatment usually reserved for felons.

Outdoors, yeah -- about the only time I have magnum rounds in my .357 is out in the sticks where wild carnivores may be encountered. Ironically, the only time I actually faced one down, I couldn't reach my sidearm because my hands were occupied with my hunting rifle, which I didn't want to have to use, because it would mean killing the cat. See, the magnum rounds aren't for doing lots of damage to the animal, they're for making a loud noise to frighten the beast.

I "open carry" on my farm here in Texas.

Any landowner who owns more than 10 acres of land isn't subjected to local mandates, or ordinances.

But I'm not a pussy about it.

Leather harnesses and "guns" are for porn.

I freely walk openly with my 20 Gauge Shotgun, and shoot rattlesnakes at will.

Why should that be disconcerting?

The legal description of a "rattlesnake." ;)

Thanks so much for putting my points so eloquenty , if you can equate wearing sunglasses and footwear to carrying a gun then it seems pointless trying to reason with you .

As for the quip about yep it does make me feel different "well methinks that shows your mindset* .
