I only have a retention holster for the G19. I don't think I'd open carry it in public though. I'd be really picky about where I went if I did.

I'm guessing that there will be more than more than a few months where those who do open carry will face uncomfortable encounters with those that don't agree with the right (with Po-Po, in particular). The possibility of that leaves me thinking I don't want to be out in front on this one. The last fucking thing I want to deal with is questions about whether I have a permit to carry that thing from an officer (or anyone else) who is looking to squeeze my shoes.
On the other hand, I will be relieved that accidentally revealing your weapon will no longer be an issue. Far too many times, I've reached, bent or otherwise maneuvered and my weapon became unintentionally exposed. The fact that people have been prosecuted for this is an outrage. |

From what I read yesterday, Florida has a law that says if an officer asks, you must show your permit/id. It dates from 1987 iirc. So at least we wouldn't have the annoying videos with people asking if they're being detained while refusing to show. They'd just get arrested. On the downside for anyone OCing, you could literally be bothered at anytime and have to drop what you're doing to deal with an officer.

Nope won't open carry. I just want open carry to pass. For a accidental ex-poser or don't have to worry so much about printing.

1. I would just like the option.
2. I would carry OWB but have my shirt over it. Yes, it would be more obvious than IWB but IWB is way uncomfortabl. I have been discouraged from carrying sometimes (which is very bad) due to discomfort or resorted to carrying a crap 380 in my pocket. I would like to carry a full-sized pistol without buying larger pants, having it jab me in the side all day, and worry about the accidental exposure. A t-shirt and shorts doesn't allow for ample cover, IMHO. |

I could be out in the woods but not hunting or some other places would be good for open carry.
In town would rather be concealed. Also, holster doesn't have a snap. |

But damn that bish is heavy. |

I want it to pass, but probably won't OC myself...much.
Funny thing, I was out in Wyoming for a couple of weeks last year where OC is legal. Didn't see a single OC (or CC best I could tell) the entire time I was there. After two days I quit CC myself, just didn't see any need. Demographics, go figure. |

I keed, I keed. Seriously, I think it should pass, but would rarely do so myself. It's another measure that covers our collective butts, and partially restores a right that was not theirs to take. Folks have been brainwashed by liberal idiots, and sadly many believe it. There is so much much of a stigma attached to guns these days, some of these idiots would be inclined to associate gun carrying citizens with baby killers by association, while a certain political party actually promotes killing babies in the name of freedom of choice and progress. It's a wacky world we live in.

You bring up a very interesting and quite an impressive eye-opener (when the facts are entered in) about your observation. Demographics: statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it 2014 Wyoming Stats: Population: 584k White: 92.7% Black: 1.6% American Indian: 2.7% Asian: 1.0% etc....... As far as open carry around the liberal mecca of Gainesville, it's not for me, but hey you could OC a fake decoy while the real gem is concealed...........  couldn't you ..............

I lived in Virginia and OC'd for years. It's really not a big deal. It's not trolling for trouble, intimidating people, etc., and I didn't (and wouldn't) do it all the time. Sometimes it's easier than trying to wear a 2nd shirt to cover it up, for example. Florida is almost the hottest state in the union, and trying to disguise and cover a weapon is often a silly exercise in my book. Loading about 3,000 lbs of pavers in my truck this summer while wearing two shirts was awesome.
The reality is that OC deters crime. It also acclimates people to seeing 'good guys' with firearms. There's a reason police do it, and I would occasionally OC here if it passed. There are trade-offs to CC'ing and OC'ing. I understand some of you may choose not to, but why ridicule those that do? There are legit advantages. I hope to see our State a little more free in the future.... |

It was nice not having to worry about covering up my gun while doing stuff, or constantly having to adjust my shirt. If it's covered by the shirt that's fine, but if not - that's fine too.  |

OC is way more comfortable, and it provides the opportunity for a conversation about liberty in a very light way. It's also great for children to see. A lot of them come from families who haven't the slightest idea of freedom. Then the only people they see with guns are agents of the state. |
