Yeah, but what if they got dark shifty beady eyes and a receding chin like weasel head pete of the frozen waste?
 
Sir,

Outside of the 1930s era gangster movies.......
,
I have never encountered a criminal wearing a holster.

What modern day gangster wants to be caught flee the scene
of his latest mis-deeds with a holstered sidearm or
worse an empty holster after ditchin his gat?

Of the few dust-up that I have been in...
The POSs drew from concealment, a pocket or waistband.

No holster need by Ricky the Armed Robber

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.
 
Being a minority, I've been stopped and questioned and even accused of being a drug trafficker at gun point by the police.
I feel that if I was open carrying it would have been shoot first and ask questions later.
Ya darned right I always carry concealed.

But if you were a Wall St broker carrying around a gram of powder, you wouldn't even get a glance. :rolleyes:

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. ;):D

I've been heckled by professionals so amatuers no longer bother me!:D

I have not yet begun to heckle, and I lost my amateur status many years ago. :cool: 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. :D
 



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. ;):D

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. :D
 
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?:(
 
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!!! :cool:

I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time! ;):D


I think I'll sport this'n to supper to nite.........:D

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.
