Why does it need gone a "gangster". People ruled mentally incompetent. Misdemeanor family offense. Dishonorable discharge. Illegal alien. All not legally able to possess a firearm
As for terry vs ohio, the officer needs to suspect criminal acts other than simply seeing a gun. So it doesn't answer my question.
But if you were a Wall St broker carrying around a gram of powder, you wouldn't even get a glance.

Go Figure.

Boys,
I have never witnessed such prejudiced hostility and animosity
toward folks that seek to go about their business in a lawful manner
to be ridiculed and down right hated to the point that the antagonist
would be so insanely twisted at the very idea of someone engaging in a lawful conduct
not to even mention that the actual sight of the perceived offending act would cause such personal
distain and fear, that it would cause the aggrieved party to lose any and all respect of and
for their fellow citizens, to the point of complete loss of control their own bowels.
I tell you'll, this **** needs to stop in this country.
But, I will admit that a trip to the local wally world does make one aggregated enough to spit.

I've been heckled by professionals so amatuers no longer bother me!
I have not yet begun to heckle, and I lost my amateur status many years ago.
My coworker Glocksketeers still haven't figured out why they can't qualify with a better score than I do with my S&W revolvers.

I had worn this rig to town one Saturday morning to the feed store, just to catch up on the local goings on.
A small boy of about 6 or 7 was with his mother as she was buying some tomato slips.
The kid was lookin me over purty good there, I finally ask him, "How ya doing thar young man?"
He looked me dead in the eye and sez, " Mister, you sure got a lot of hair in your ears!"
Well my next stop was by the Barber Shop.....
A feller jest can't be going around skerin' youngins like that now can he.

Did everybody notice the first page and the last page of this thread sound exactly the same.....Tells me we all have our own opinions and we will never agree......This is the first thread I can remember where there has been open animosity present......We won't agree period...So why try?? I bet not one mind set has changed anybody's opinion..

Please note that the animosity is, for the most part, on the side of the "concealed carry only" folks, those advocates for the sneaky, underhanded way of carrying handguns.

I wish I could say this is the first thread where I've seen "open animosity present", but it's not. Fortunately it's rare on this splendid forum. It does seem that open carry is often the acrimonious subject.
I don't care if you carry a 75mm pack howitzer slung on your back or an NAA mini-revolver secreted in a body cavity (though I wouldn't envy you the job of explaining the former or cleaning the latter). My choice is to carry concealed--guess I'm one of those "underhanded" guys. I've thought through that decision quite thoroughly. It's what makes sense to me, for me.
It's your choice and your right to carry a gun however is legal in your jurisdiction. I'm too cynical to believe open carry educates the antis, but if you entertain that hope, go for it.
It's been my stated choice not to read any more of these invariably contentious and circular threads, but like an idiot I always seem to hope one will be different.
Never happens.

Ain't it the truth?
See, I don't have a problem with that. You made the right decision for you. You didn't call anyone names or deride their choice. Well done!
I'm not out to "educate" anyone, myself.
Sad, isn't it?
If only the world were lolipops and marshmallows. Sigh.

Boys,
It sure look'd like it was gonna be touch and go here for awhile....
I have to say, some of the proponents for concealed carry had some purty good reasonin' on their side....
If one appears to be a lit'l touch'd or might be a suspected criminal, out-right insane, dis-honorable in all things,
having domestic woos, suffers from IBS, halitosis, or athlete foot, jest to name a few qualifying maladies...
Those folks should carry concealed at all time, as not to disrupt the peace and tranquility of life in the public.
Those of us that live life with a tolerance for those that might breach the above social standard,
(Set forth by a few CCers)
I say...............Party On!!!
I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time!
I think I'll sport this'n to supper to nite.........

It's all really simple. Respect the Constitution and the laws of the 44 states , soon to be 45, that have an OC statute on the books.
If you disagree with those laws then move to one of the other 6, soon to be 5, or run for your state legislature and fight to amend OC laws to suit you.

Oh, if you think the above is simplistic, I read the same thing here daily in regards to those of us living in NY, NJ, MA, etc .... "Just move" they say.
Well folks, as the old saying goes: It's been fun, and it's been real, but at no point was it real fun. (With obvious exception for Mr. Keith44 trying to lighten the mood at times, of course. )
My thanks go to the posters who voiced reasoned views on why they disagreed with OC, but also didn't resort to ad hominem to make their points.
In closing, I'll state once again that I fail to see what good can come of demonizing people who are doing nothing illegal. We must also acknowledge that sometimes, much needed societal changes have resulted from judicious rocking of the proverbial apple cart, which sometimes approaches or even rises to the level of civil disobedience.
While I don't always agree with the method of "delivery," I recognize the validity of the "message" nonetheless.
And with that, I'm bowing out.

It's the damnedest thing, I don't remember anyone here wanting to amend the OC laws or disrespect the Constitution. Maybe I missed it. I certainly wouldn't want to do either here in Kentucky, where OC has been legal far longer than CC. What I have seen here is some people who don't much like OC and don't do it.
I'm not even in that camp. I don't dislike OC but don't choose to do it. Just call me the Invisible Man. That's how I'm comfortable. I'm old and like my life simple. There are lots of things I can do legally but choose not to.
I don't care for lollipops or marshmallows either, but I like "You're an idiot or un-American if you don't agree with me" much less, and I have seen some of that. On most subjects people on this fine forum seem to be able to disagree without taking umbrage. This just doesn't seem to be one of them.

I see what you did.
The net is full of arguments for and against any subject at hand.
I have and do concealed carry, but also open carry.
I enjoy the freedom this country offers by way of our forefathers wise decisions and
unselfish convictions in drafting those oh so precious papers so long ago.
Concealed Carry at is finest........
Or maybe not...

I was in a Home Depot recently (in Detroit, of all places), and
in the checkout line next to me stood a guy open carrying
a full size semi-auto (looked like a Sig).............and waited
there with my Glock 23 concealed under my untucked shirt.
I'd want a pair of them Glocks....In Detroit
Don't let em kid ya too awful much about that Glock.
Why, to tell a closely guard secret, I may have carried a glock in
.357 Sig once upon a time my own self.....Concealed of course

Open carry just SHOWS ISIL, or the Taliban, or the local street thug that YOU need to taken out FIRST.
Open is carry is DUMB on a scale beyond the normal level of stupid.
IF I were planning to rob a Micky-D's and saw some goofus sitting there munching a Q-Pdr, with his Wilson, Combat Extreme, Wild-Bill-Special, Close-Quarters-Combact, Tactical 1911-S, super-duper, lightweight tucked into an OPEN HOLSTER....I'd SHOOT HIM IMMEDIATELY!

I agree, open carry isn't something I would want to do...it's analogous to putting a sign on your back that reads, "SHOOT ME I'M ARMED!"
Open carry is what some buffoon does because he mistakenly believes only HE is carrying a weapon....while strolling through, or sitting in a room filled with people who are also EQUALLY armed, only they aren't sending out a signal to criminals that says, "shoot me first!"

Wells, I did not know alls that.............^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dag-nabbit, in forty something years I ain't been snuck-up on and shot in public nary a time....
Just how many times have one of you'll pud-knockers even heard,
let'l on able prove, that someone has been shot or shot at in public, for carrying a sidearm?
Inquiring minds jest got to know.......
Opinions are not facts!
I see open carry in the Commonwealth daily...
Never even heard of anyone being targeted and or being shot by a criminal plyin' his trade.
I believe that's jest a urban miff
Open Carry equals less mischief in the world.
That is all for today.
