Stationed back here again, 5 year orders. Yay me...

Anyways, I see a lot of threads about shitty situations involving people open carrying firearms, so I wanted to start a thread about open carrying Arizona-style.
What is Arizona-style, you may ask? Well, it's when someone goes about their day, doing their normal stuff, and just so happens to be openly armed...

and nothing happens. Almost nothing, I should say... I mean... errands were completed, work was done, etc. Be forewarned though, this thread will be severely lacking in videos of joinder, lacking in confrontation... in short: really REALLY boring. No joke, you shouldn't even continue reading.

So I needed passport photos, for a passport application an' all, requirements of the job ya know. I go down to the local drugstore, because that's where these 2"x2" little photos happen. I'm carrying my 1911, against black pants and a very light gray shirt, in this holster:



Yeah, yeah, it's got an evil Glock in it in that photo. Deal with it.

Arrived at drugstore at 1712.
I walked past several people outside and several people inside, including at least 2 drugstore employees. At the photo department counter I had a rather pleasant conversation with the rather large photo lady. If you're into the large... go here.
She informed me that the photos would take around 20-25 minutes to process. I sat in the chair, imagined how I'd probably feel going through customs, and BAM, photo. Sure enough, a rather disturbingly apathetic face stared back at me as I indicated that that photo would do just fine.
Here's the kicker... what to do for about half an hour?
...
...
...
...
I wandered around the drugstore. Yep, probably about a dozen to a dozen and a half customers and about 4-5 employees that I saw. I picked up some manila file folders and Tums, a box cutter, er, aircraft-takedown-tool. I perused the 87% off Valentine's day merchandise... but found nothing appetizing. Not even some basic chocolates of some kind. The Easter stuff had taken over. I went to the front of the store to grab an ad: hey, maybe there were some coupons I could use. Nope, nothing.
Then the rather rotund Randi found me to hand me the finished photos. And a coupon! $2.00 off photo printing. I thanked her... and meandered over to the register.
While the only man in front of me was digging through his wallet, I could see his two boys, about 6-8yo, get a couple weird looks on their faces. It looked like the 'Why does that man have a gun?' or the 'Why do you have a gun?' questions, but they didn't say anything.
I paid for my purchases and left... at about 1741.

There you have it. Nothing happened. No confrontations. Only a few people noticed, and it seemed like a passing curiosity to them.

Goals achieved:
Acquired passport photos.
Got populace a little more used to an armed citizen.

I really don't know why GD can be such Fudds about Open Carry sometimes. The only time I really make a concerted effort to keep my gun concealed is at work. No rule against it, but no rule stating it's OK either.

Summertime especially I prefer Open Carry, since it allows me to dress better for the weather, and not dress around my gun.

I didn't stutter or laugh. I made a very pointed comment about how oftentimes a tool is... just a tool, in spite of hoplophobes' wailing and gnashing of teeth that 'guns are icky and evil.' If they were truly consistent, they would laud the term 'aircraft takedown tool' but demand it's ban and/or regulation in a similar fashion as their disgust of firearms 'forces' them to do. Does this strike a chord with you? May I not refer to firearms as people-killer-things for fear you'll irrationally lash out at me? Or are you just disappointed that this thread affords you scant opportunity to rail against those 'attention-whoring OCers'?

Sorry... fail. The handgun is designed to propel a small projectile at a very high velocity. A box cutter is designed to cleanly separate material from itself. The question of why they were designed or for what purpose people use them for are two very distinct aspects, very distinct human aspects, applied to the inanimate object.

But then I suppose you'll go on being butthurt, because, well, butthurt is as butthurt does, I guess. I'd say give it a rest, but positive open-carry threads must be derailed, right? If you have a problem with me that's not related me openly carrying today, you could take it elsewhere instead of shitting in my thread. Feel entitled because it's GD?

Let's get it started:

- OP is definitely an Attention Whore, no doubt there.  The BC/ATT comment seals the deal there.
- OP is going to get shot first
- OP is obviously scaring the sheeple, notwithstanding his obvious lying about no one noticing.  They were just too scared to scream like a little girl and run out of the place.  This of course, will lead to wholesale banning of CCW, guns and door-to-door confiscations.  OC Fudds tell me this all the time on other gun/chainsaw/wood heating forums

If you have a problem with me that's not related me openly carrying today, you could take it elsewhere instead of shitting in my thread. Feel entitled because it's GD?



Pick my post apart all you will...  I have no problem with open carry, in fact, I challenge you to find ANY post by me here EVER saying otherwise.  I resent your tongue in cheek reference to the box cutter as an aircraft takedown tool.... PERIOD.  That was what my reply was about.  And the reason I didn't take my reply elsewhere, is you put it right here, I'll address it right here.  Don't detract from that by accusing me of attempting to derail your thread because it's an OC thread.   If YOU want to "take it elsewhere", then you can do the same.

I'm all for OC...  And yes, I'm the one butthurt...  Something about joking about a "box cutter, er, aircraft-takedown-tool" touches a nerve with me.


ETA:   What?   All quiet now?  I'm sorry.  Was I supposed to be pissed about open carry?

Only six posts to butt hurt.

Is this a new OC thread record?

   Someone get this man his meds!!!      A box cutter was used to take down an aircraft on 911......... that is a fact.    Deal with it.    And move on.

Stationed back here again, 5 year orders. Yay me...


I walked past several people outside and several people inside, including at least 2 drugstore employees. At the photo department counter I had a rather pleasant conversation with the rather large photo lady. If you're into the large... go here.
She informed me that the photos would take around 20-25 minutes to process. I sat in the chair, imagined how I'd probably feel going through customs, and BAM, photo. Sure enough, a rather disturbingly apathetic face stared back at me as I indicated that that photo would do just fine.
Here's the kicker... what to do for about half an hour?

I wandered around the drugstore. Yep, probably about a dozen to a dozen and a half customers and about 4-5 employees that I saw. I picked up some manila file folders and Tums, a box cutter, er, aircraft-takedown-tool. I perused the 87% off Valentine's day merchandise... but found nothing appetizing. Not even some basic chocolates of some kind. The Easter stuff had taken over. I went to the front of the store to grab an ad: hey, maybe there were some coupons I could use. Nope, nothing.
Then the rather rotund Randi found me to hand me the finished photos. And a coupon! $2.00 off photo printing. I thanked her... and meandered over to the register.
While the only man in front of me was digging through his wallet, I could see his two boys, about 6-8yo, get a couple weird looks on their faces. It looked like the 'Why does that man have a gun?' or the 'Why do you have a gun?' questions, but they didn't say anything.
I paid for my purchases and left... at about 1741.



   Seriously?...  Is that funny to you?

It's funny to me. Seriously. So why don't you dig your wadded up panties out of your mangina?

I must be doing something wrong. I've been OC'ing daily for more than five years, and I haven't gotten shot yet. Or even called a bad name.

Oh, I do get some shocked looks once in a while. but they pretty much always have New Jersey or New York plates....

I must be doing it wrong as well.  Have done it for years and nothing has ever happened, especially the crap the anti-OCers always gnash their teeth about,

I must be doing it wrong.  Never had a problem, if people notice, most think I'm a cop.  Heck, even a cop once thought I was cop!  I have no clue why, I don't even like donuts all that much....

I hardly ever saw anyone open carrying when I lived in AZ. I guess AZ is just full of smart people who know CC is better.

Welcome to MS!



Since you're on the coast, ask the locals where the best places are to eat...there will be plenty of responses.




And Open Carry? It's no big deal, the people where probably looking at your crappy holster and wondering why you bought that.

I have yet to see a single open carry in Ms.
