How many can open carry?

How many of you live in an open carry state? How many of you actually exercise your right to do so? Just curious.

Whats next? A ban on automatic transmissions?

A dead intruder cannot testify against you in a court of law!
If they're still moving, put another round in them!

If you are in a small town "hunting" some people carry openly, with no problems.
But I would not suggest carrying open, in Denver, at this time.
They WILL arrest you for it, just ask Rick Stanley.
He openly defied a local (Denver) ordinance barring citizens from carrying open.
The Colorado Constitution states,
"The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property...shall be called in question."
We will see when his case is heard on Jan 30.
I just may have to go to Denver that day.
Is it possible that one man CAN make a difference?
P.S.
I bent to the will of the "unconstitutional" lawmakers and obtained my CCW. NOT that I agree with the mandate that I have to have it, to carry. But to avoid the prosecution hassles, should the occasion ever arise, that I would have to use a firearm to protect myself. (or another) So to answer your question, NO, even with the open carry law here. I do not.

We can in Ohio and recently I participated in an Open Carry Walk to protest the unconstitutional law in Ohio prohibiting concealed carry.
I'm assuming thats a PROPOSED law.
We sell the Plain Dealer at the gas station which I work at, and there was a picture on the front page with two guys in a restaurant with their exposed holstered pistols. It was about some gathering of like 70 people that were doing it.

When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.

It ain't what you shoot, it's what you hit.
I open carry when I go fishing.
I have been talked to by game wardens while doing so,and the gun
never entered the conversation.
No problem there.
I hear if ya generally open carry you can expect a disorderly or
inducing panic charge even though the supreme court ruled open carry
as being acceptable in Ohio.

Lot's of rednecks around here me included!! So you see lots of vehicles with rifles and shotguns hanging on the gun rack! One of the advantages of living off the beaten path I guess!!

I don't like open carry for any reason outside of hunting or fishing, just causes too much trouble. Funny though you can carry a gun in a rack all year long and nobody blinks but strap on a Dirty Harry and go for a walk downtown just once.............
NM law also considers your car an extension of the home, so you can carry in a car, too.
Had a Stater try to convince me that a concealed gun in my car was unlawful, I showed him the statute and asked him to read it carefully.

Trouble is; the State (where I work) denies employees to carry anything (knives included) on State property, in the State Right-of-way, or in employees' PRIVATE vehicles that are parked on State property. My beef is: exactly WHEN do I become subject to the ban on my ride to work? The minute I leave my house? When I get on the freeway? When I reach the parking lot?
Screw 'em! I always was a citizen prior to being an employee; therefore I don't leave home without (at least) one.
If you know it all; you must have been listening.WEAR EAR PROTECTION!
My pocket knife has a locking blade, which I keep clipped into my front jeans pocket, is lawful. If my shirt or coat covers the "clip and area of frame which distinguishes the item as a knife", it is a concealed weapon OR is unlawful because it is a concealed knife with a locking blade exceeding "X" inches. I'm not sure which.

carry concealed (with a permit) a few years ago. I still carry
openly on occasion, but my Colt is usually concealed.
Perhaps saying you have a CCW could be interpreted as a threat to another that you have a firearm concealed about your person.
The law is written in CA in a manner inwhich the first offense of CCW without a permit is a misdemeaner as long as you do not have a knife with you also (don't have the exact description of the knife) Otherwise it is a felony. No more guns for you!
Will probably take a concerted effort on my behalf, after nearly two years of doing this stuff in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN, before I re-condition myself NOT to point loaded weapons at folks who are making me VERY nervous. Probably would not be as acceptable back home on the streets of Anytown USA.
I guess we'll just have to remember to turn the switch back to the "off" position once we get home. hummmm?
