When was the last time you saw someone open carry?

[Double Naught Spy]

I open carry 2-3 times a week when I go hunting. The only place people would see me open carrying are at the gas station pumps, then I am out of town.

So....you're bad for business.

How so ?

Saw a gun at HEB this afternoon, I couldn't say what it was, small semi-auto in a cheap plastic owb holster.

Isn’t HEB 30.07?

Many of 'em. Maybe not all.

In Oregon of all places. Two years ago we drove through there on a vacation. Stopped into a gas station with not much else around. Very rural. Guy looked to be in his 60s (presumably a local) walks in with what looked to be a Ruger GP100 in a leather holster. Struck me as odd being Oregon and all…

There's a sign on the window, I've seen it but never paid attention since I carry concealed and don't give a shit about any sign. If it prohibits open carry, maybe he was trying to prove a point.

I normally conceal when going into HEB, the other day I was just picking up a prescription, pharmacy is close to the door. I didn't cover up just to see if anyone said anything.

Portland ruins it for the rest of the state. Common theme in blue states.

There are still some real Cowboys left in Ori-gone.

Probably not Eugene or Portland.

I've only seen about a handful of open carriers. One of them was riding a motorcycle and had a Glock in a typical OWB kydex holster, and the rest were of the unflattering stereotype that we are all aware of - flimsy belt with equally flimsy slide holster that allows the gun to swing all over the place with every step.

How so ?

Well, you ran off a paying customer.

 

[psledoux]

I've never seen a 30.06 or a 30.07 at HEB.

 

[General Zod]

I've never seen a 30.06 or a 30.07 at HEB.

I've seen .07 at at least three of them. I don't get many opportunities to go to HEB, though.

 

[Mohawk600]

I used to work at HEB and never even payed attention. I did not carry at work either. Worked in the meat market with some like minded 2A individuals and you better believe we had a plan for getting out in case of a mass shooting.

We had many discussions about HEB and grocery stores in general being target rich environments.

Me either....

It's surprisingly common out here. I was standing behind a lady in line, and at the register over was a guy open carrying. It was what looked like a Steyr GB (if so, NICE) but it was in some hardware store tier trash Fobus or Uncle Mikes holster. I saw the lady roll her eyes and shake her head, which means to me lots of folks still get the 'ick' from it.

Or she was disappointed in his terrible choice of holster.

I see maybe 2 a week out here. Sometimes I'll open carry, but only in the Safariland ALS holster. Not about to have someone just snatch my handgun.

 

[Jtown]

I rarely if ever see them around here outside of the gun range

 

[BladeZealot]

Saw an older couple at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and the husband was carrying openly.

Trying to recall now...thinking Cotton Patch in Watauga..
