    I mostly OC, unless it is somewhere I need to CC, like at work. Or it's cold, and I'm wearing a jacket.
    The reason I don't open carry is I don't want anyone to know I have a gun on me. Nothing wrong with OC, it's just the way I feel about it. Around here I have yet to see anybody open carry, I figured I would have seen it by now.

    You would think over two months later you could rustle up a decent gun fight or shoot-out.

    But NO! Can't get one for nothing around here. Old widow woman down the street still just laughs at me!
    Is this her?

    If I thought it would cause a liberal to vapor lock, I'd carry open every day!
    Tried that once in Memphis. Several member of a gun club walked into a starbucks while open carrying. It was almost worth the price of their coffee to see the expressions on the faces of the liberals (customers and workers). I haven't been in a starbucks since.

    It's rare that see anyone open carry except at a range. I usually conceal to prevent a liberal from vapor locking at the sight of a gun.
    You might be surprised. My open carry experience has been a nonissue. Although it's kinda rare that I see others open carry, if there has been a lot of reaction to my open carry, I haven't noticed.

    Honestly, I'm just not seeing hardly anyone open carrying. Every once in a while, I might see some older guy with a small revolver on a belt holster.

    Occasionally I will se someone open carry but its still pretty rare. Maybe once every 3 or so months. I know its legal now to carry open or concealed but I still fell like I will get into trouble. I am easing into it by carrying in a sticky holster in my pocket here and there. I am starting to feel more comfortable lately.

    Glad that's been the case for you and I hope it stays that way.

    I've seen some videos on youtube where open carrying led to the armed citizen getting assaulted by a bunch of punks from behind, utlimately leading to him getting stomped and disarmed.

    I recall there's one that Active Self Protection channel featured that shows a guy ordering something at restaurant and had his pistol taken from him within seconds.

    I'm not saying it's going to happen to everyone, but I think there's a risk of it happening to anyone.
