Observation

[Hook686]

If one does not notice someone's OC, how can one consider themselves situationally aware ?

I could care less if I print as this is an open carry state.
I only open carry when hunting and then it is mostly covered by a coat
I don't mind anyone else OCing and I notice it pretty easily.But I look for it
I do want open carry to remain legal and constitutional carry would be better.

Now with all that said,I think open carry is for cowboys to do on a regular basis (especially as one member here,and on OC forum does,and it's not hermannr)
I don't believe there is any advantage to it except for some comfort issues.But nothing a button down shirt can't take care of.
I guess,with all the different kinds I have been around with guns,I just see open carry in the city as a cowboy tactic
But that's just me and YMMV

Best not try that open carry in urban zones, you'll meet badges really fast. It's an example of a liberty that is conditional due to libtards

Printing is when whatever is covering/concealing your handgun is stretched tight enough over it that the outline of the hangun is visable to another person.

Thanks I love when I learn new things.

Moved to Oregon ten years ago. I have yet to see anyone open carry.

Also not true. While I do not generally habitate Spokane, Seattle or Portland, I have OC in all three....never been a problem...There are others on OCDO that OC in these towns on a regular basis, with no problems.

The ones that have been hasseled have been winning in the legal lottery.

OC is for the retired or unemployed (people with too much time on their hands), people trying to prove a point (people with too much time on their hands), or people living in places where cows outnumber them (people with too much time on their hands).

I resemble that remark...I am retired, I am old and drawing SS and other retirement income, I live in a county that has more horses than people, and more cows then horses...is there a problem with that? Or are you just jealous?

As for too much time on my hands? Not really, I have plenty to do, and do plenty. I'm as busy as I want to be.

I do occationally get to the big city, usually to take my wife to some specialist, but we have family and friends that we visit too. After all, we have 5 daughters, 4 on the wet side, one in Dallas TX.

Based on what, genius?

I live in Spokane, I'm very (over) employed, and I open carry whenever I feel like it.

Comments like the one above don't really rile me though, only a beta would write it or speak it.

You old coot. I envy the retirement.

Anybody recall the M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye bets somebody that he could walk through the chow line naked unnoticed?
He almost got away with it, too.

It's very true and some have actually been convicted by a jury of their "peers", recently in Vancouver, WA for instance

Try it in Olympia or Seattle, be sure to have an associate to camcord the results

Can you provide some links where people are being sentenced to jail for OC.

Student convicted in open-carry gun case | The Columbian

All it takes are a pack of libtards/hoplophobes to call the cops and exaggerate a bit and you go to jail

 

[davemata]

Interesting, very light on info, but from what's presented. The police overstepped their bounds, created law, and then some FUDDs stepped right up to back them.

However, there's data missing, so I know my opinion is a bit skewed.

IMHO: Josh should not have been convicted (or even procecuted for that matter)..he did have the case thrown out once, but his problem was...He was being a Nervous Nelly, constantly checking and gripping his weapon, even though he never took it out of it's holster.

The reason I say...don't be a Nervous Nelly...guaranteed to get unwanted attention.

 

[davemata]

Based on what the article read, yeah, absolutely.

I'd call it a miscarriage of justice.
