IBTL - I'll put my money on 20 posts.

I posted this just to mess with your bet.

I guess the moral of this story is........

Don't open carry, while half naked.......

Open carry in the "concrete jungle" is usually chaotic. People just don't understand the way some people live.

'Sall right - your post was #21 so I had already missed it. You can see why I never actually gamble

Nice job at maintaining civility gents...

Open carry (OC) will usually result in a visit from the police even though it is legal around here, and has been for years. My daughter is a 911 operator and fields calls for this constantly. When she tells the caller it is legal they want to see a police officer anyway, who only tells them the same thing.

Mayflies biting? Weird, Mayflies don't bite here in my part of KS.

It is cool that is all you had to do to get the libs to run away from you, tho. I have wave my arms around, jump up and down, and make really loud pterodactyl noises.

Waste of police time.

I don't open carry for the same reason I no longer proudly display my NRA affiliation on my vehicles...why call unnecessary attention to myself?

I have found most times in life discretion is the better part of valor.

Same here.

Open carry..........sounds like brandishing to me!

I don't open carry except in the woods and I'm not a fan of it in town but...

REALLY??? You think it's equivalent to brandishing?

In the past couple of years I've seen probably 15 folks about 4 were women, open carrying handguns in belt holsters. They were in stores, at gas pumps, or on the sidewalk. Most were in Walmart, I never saw any reaction from anyone outside of a couple of second glances.
I never have in town although it is legal here.

You sound very pessimistic. I say he was half-clothed....

Yeah......walking around shirtless with a gun on his hip! Was he stopping to flex too? Drawing attention to himself.

It's the oddity. After it becomes common, you'll barely notice it. Human nature.

Odd that I felt uncomfortable seeing the large blades where if he were carrying a pistol I wouldn't have worried about it. Nothing bad happened, of course, and I still feel a bit silly that I reacted that way, but I can't deny it.

Aren't most calls?

Waste of police time.

This is exactly why I do not open carry. That and me shirtless would scare the be-jesus out of them!!

LOL! Me too!

This thread proves the David Hogg Admiration Fan Club is alive and well.

I could open carry with an IWB holster and it would still be concealed.

 

[snubbyfan]

That's a weird way to spell weird.

We have a good friend who lives on a small island on a lake in Minnesota near an entry portage to the Boundary Waters. He is a gun owner, but went on a big rant last year because someone came off the lake open carrying and he could not get over that someone would do so in a wilderness area. No amount of argument would change his mind. Folks have their own interpretations of reality!
