Was out running errands today, and figured I would toss the Glock on my hip. I counted about 35 holy shits and 15 "hey, is that a nine?". No dogs were shot, no po-po drew down on me, and yes, you can carry in blockbuster. Just thought I'd share  GT |
hehehe I had a Ruger new model blackhawk with a 10 and a half inch barrel. I carried that hogleg around in a shoulder holster a few times  . Damn thing weighed 6 pounds! That got some funny stares.It got even more looks when my wife and I took it to Caswells. My wife is teeny tiny--bout 100 lbs, and 30 of that is boobs. The counter guys in there had the funniest expressions on their faces when she was shooting that.... |

Am I just twisted, or does it sound like some fun to organize some group open carry get togethers and visit different public places of interest? If eleven guys walk into a restaurant or movie theater or whatever all open carrying, thing some onlooker will panic and call 911? Come to think of it...didn't somebody used to organize a once-a-month dinner where a bunch of pro-RKBA types would meet for dinner at a restaurant and discuss state RKBA issues? |
When I first moved out here (before the Kalifornian land grab) I seldom got a second look. The blockbuster I went to is in "Power Ranch", a bunch of quarter mil cookie cutter houses. I am thinking the transplants have likely never even seen a real gun, never mind some guy wearing one while out to rent a game..... |
You can believe me that she is EXTREMELY gorgeous......seriously. You can also believe me that she would shoot him DEAD if he posted a pic, no matter how innoccuous. This girl is SO Liberterian/Privacy Rights/Hates Gun Control/Wants all Democrats and Libs Dead minded that she makes most of us look like raving, sissy liberals. |
I don't think she would shoot me dead. Severely wounded maybe. Shot in the junk certainly. But I don't think she'd kill me. But she knows where the guns are, and I sleep soundly.....not gonna risk it

Carried my 1911 into subway on southern and mill on sunday, and a family from i think Wisconsin talk to me about their laws there....asked me if i had my permit and all....just said i love this state cuz we dont need one. And on the AR...my buddy and i have done that in our complexes but never anywhere too public. maybe try it sometime but im sure the cops will be on us |
+1 In a way I've been opening carrying carrying since I was 6 or 7. And I can't remember anyone ever batting an eye at my brother, my dad, or I. |
How about Sinistral's Open carry movie night?

I opern carry in Phoenix pretty regular; I rarely get any comments at all. Occasionally I even find myself in the QT at 0200 hrs, I can tell they notice, but they never say anything. I think the last comment I got was ..."are you a cop?". The last one before that was a snowbird and ended up being a friendly conversation about freedom. |
What would the cops do to you, if your technically doing something legal? |
I think that for sure they would at least ask us why we had them out like that..... the only thing i can think of that we could get in touble for would be if people started freaking out they might be able to hit us with disturbing the peace or something |
Yup. When she was shooting the autos, it was pretty much *Bang*Jig*Bang!*le*bang*dro*bang*ol..... |
I need video. |
Twisted or not straight???  If a bunch of guys that open carrying that looked even somewhat professional most folks would figure you're LEO at a class or something
|
 Have you ever been to an AR15.com gathering?No one is mistaking a bunch of fat bastards for L.E.! |
Actually at SoCal shoots most of the guys (except for Doc F and a guy that goes up in my truck) are pretty skinny. They shoot the snot out of my target stands though. 
|
I dunno, fat guys would fit right in with quite a few of the cops I've seen. |
We cant carry in restaurants - at least ones that serve. And I've been asked to leave at AMC and Harkins for open carrying. But I think you're onto something for a gathering. I think we should march in your neighborhood before rallying at our meeting place. :) |

|
hmmm...non-alcoholic restaurant...I think the McD's down the street has a playplace. |
Combined. Poor girl would fall over if it was each! GT |
