To the guy I seen at Best Buy in Warner Robins tonight:

Here it goes. OC vs. CC. He was carrying a gun and didn't go crazy and start shooting. This is what people need to see.

Agreed. I "OC" from time to time. Just to show people, you can carry and be a NICE and Respectiful Citizen. Had a few LEO's say Hi and never asked for my CCP, but said "Thanks and Wished More people would".

I'm waiting on my shoulder holster rig to OC my Desert Eagle 50 cal.

Well, it might be under a jacket, but the jacket migh be open.

An attacker should know your carrying a knife only after its in his ribs and in the case of a firearm when he sees the muzzle flash!

Better for me that he never gets that far.

A real badass open carries a NAA .22 Mini Revolver.

I've been asked by the door greeter at best buy for a cp he said it was the managers policy

Yes! That happens ALL THE TIME!! I remember seeing 13 articles yesterday alone where badguys were robbing places and shooting open carriers first. I mean, just look at the overwhelming statistics from every state that allows open carry...in every single one of them, there are hundreds of open carriers getting slaughtered every day by bad guys shooting them first in robberies. Thank you so much for making this point!

Ok, I'm gonna have to see some hard evidence to believe that "hundreds of open carriers are getting slaughtered every day by bad guys shooting them first in robberies". I would also like to know how many open carriers have PREVENTED a robbery? It's kinda hard to prove that one but IMHO this statistic would greatly outnumber the few "slaughters" of oc's.
i mean, really , think about it? Why do so many gun store, pawn or convenience store owners open carry?
And o.c. provokes robberies or violence ? I don't buy that...I think most robbers are cowards at heart and will always prey on the weakest, not someone carrying a gun.
I have always c.c but I am starting to rethink that position in light of today's political situation. I'm starting to think that if all responsible gun owners began an o.c. policy in response to overt threats by our government to restrict our gun rights it might get people's attention.

We have meekly allowed our govt to take many of our rights...perhaps it's time to loudly and belligerently demand them back.


So.....I propose January 2013 as "Open Carry Month"... Maybe while our spineless legislators are debating a registration/confiscation bill and taking more of our second amendments rights it would be best for them to see exactly who and what they are up against?

It would make me smile to walk down the street and see fellow Americans open carrying their weapons...and it would really make me chuckle to see the handwringing media go nuts over it!!!

Hiding our guns via c.c. almost feels like we are ashamed to carry them doesn't it?
