[shooterfpga]

ummm....you DO realize we're on the "same side", right? I WANT the right to OC - it should be MY CHOICE, not the government's!

he said +1 as in hes in agreement with the section he quoted.

Thank god cause the toy isle is the last place to open carry in a non open carry state.

Perfectly legal in states that allow it though and evidently not as scary as you think.

We were talking about kids in Wamart grabbing guns out of OCing folks holsters IIRC. I was sharing my REAL life experience in Walmart OCing.

Pros: Freedom to decide to OC or not to OC. I really shouldn't need any more.

Cons: I could see a short term backlash of 30.06 signs going up.

Irrational Thoughts that have no basis in fact: your arguments so far.

Look at the map of OC friendly sates: Oklahoma will be a Licensed OC state Nov 1st 2012. At that time TX will stick out like a sore thumb from it's surrounding states with it's oppressive OC laws.

Let's see your list of issues.

exactly, so why are you getting upset. Did I say I NEVER WANT IT? Are you reading what Im writing or using osmosis via computer screen

#1 - I was speaking to matefrio (note that I was quoting HIS post).....

#2 -

What imsaying is this would also allow for a kid or crazy person to come behind you and unarm you TAKING YOUR WEAPON at the perfect time. It happens to cops all the time.

Go tell Mommy that you've exceeded your allotted computer time for the year, please.

 

[bagged02]

That is so wrong. Your map states there are 7 states that are NOT OPEN CARRY. I believe there are somthing like ONLY 13 that are open carry.

I always forget your like 70 years old, I keep thinking your some 25 yr old redneck with a rebel flag in the back of your truck. Im done speaking with you cause all you do is argue Old man.

 

[bagged02]

Here are 16 gone.

ORANGE AREA
Anomalous open carry statesIn these states, open carry of a handgun is generally lawful, but the state may lack preemption or there may be other significant restrictions. The limitations and/or lack of pre-emption means that certain areas of these states are, in their judicial system and law enforcement societies, not very friendly towards the practice.

23 if you count the 7 in red then. Even if I give you those that's still over half the states allow OC.... and more than the seven you assumed.

I would be ok with all of them being OC actually. I would like to OC some places and CC others. I think the main reason of the uproar is there are people that would not be cogniacent(sp) of their surroundings and create harmful situations. My aplologies if I offended anyone, this was not the reason I initiated conversation. However, people need to realize not all forum members are here to create hostile conversations and some just want information and to have normal cordial conversations, like myself.

Ummmm

open carry would be horrible. If someone is planning on doing something illegal such as a robbery or something of the such, you have a target on your chest as you are a threat to them before anything even happens. Reason why they no longer have security officers in banks.

You shouldn't take my unverified information as fact, and I said at least.

Quick google shows at least 13(accuracy not verified), why?

Every time OC comes up I am amazed at all the bickering back and forth. Good grief this is a gun forum. Seems everyone on it should be tickled to death if OC passed. Another battle we won against the liberals. If it passes and you don't want to open carry then fine.....don't! But you should still be supportive of those who do want to open carry. If there was ever a court hearing on OC all the government liberals would have to do is just pull up this thread.....many threads on this subject....and OC would easily be voted against. Stepping down off my soap box now.
