An Open Carry 'Mistake'........

[RVTECH]

In a store the other day and a guy was open carrying.

It was some sort of semi auto (couldn't tell the make) in a modern style holster however it had BRIGHT purple grips on it!

Ok, regardless of the opinions on OC in general I am thinking if you are going to do so keep it as 'subdued' as possible.

He's wearing Barney grips because he wants all the children to come up to him, so he can teach them about gun safety.

I tell my baboon arsed kin to keep their britches on to hide the purple but it's a full-time job.

While carrying a pistol with a purple grip , openly or not , ain't anything that I would...
Who am I , to tell others what grips they should have on their pistol , or how they should carry it...?

I do agree with the notion of being "subdued" when carrying ( openly or concealed ).
Its best to go about being unnoticed when doing such things.

However....
I have also found that if it ain't none of my business , its often best to not worry 'bout it.

So your not comfortable with how much freedom he was experiencing?

I understand the viewpoint of "less tactically advantageous to draw attention to yourself," but if the person feels confident enough to open carry, and wants to have purple grips while doing so, my thoughts are "freedom on fellow American."

I draw the line at double bandoliers. I'm good with singles though.

I've found that I have enough business of my own to mind, which helps keep me out of others'.

Depends on whether your carry is belt fed, or not.

If I see anyone crazy enough or bold enough to open carry in a store or public place where there are people around, I am doing two things.

1. Leaving the area immediately.
2. Calling the police.

I don't see any need to open carry unless you're out away, whether it's a law or not, and I suspect the police would want to have a conversation with that person to determine level of threat.

It may be a right, but that doesn't mean I have to be comfortable with it.

Maybe never leave your house? Thanks for being part of the problem. Someone could've died from a heart attack while you waste responders time with such a frivolous non emergency call

I'm probably just being paranoid.

He's carrying. That's way better than not carrying. It's a net positive.
