Poll: Have you been noticing more open carry in the last couple weeks?

[CountryGent]

The title kind of says it. I've noted more individuals open carrying handguns in these parts. Not a majority by any stretch, but most certainly more to the point I've noticed. Anyway, just curious.

Not in my neck of the woods.

 

[Hueco]

Washington County here and no, no increase.

 

[Mrnorke]

I see it periodically where I am. Nothing abnormal so far.

 

[CRBMoA]

No. But, I work across the alley from the Sheriff.

On Friday, I saw a little old lady that would likely raise her hands before shouting bingo getting printed for her CC.

And I HAVE seen more noobs at the gun counters. For sure.

 

[P7M13]

In the TP aisle at Winco and Fred Meyer.

 

[cigars]

In Beaverton/Tigard most CCW folks are cool as a cucumber generally.

 

[Goosebrown]

Haven't seen open carry in three years here in Columbia county. Know people do but never seen it.

 

[nammac]

Can't say I've seen any in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. But I make sure I'm carrying when purchasing toilet tissue or hand sanitizer

 

[DB is Here]

I haven't seen open carry, but two of my friends told me they recently started carrying every time they leave the house in the last week or so, not because they are on edge but they do feel the people are seeming less predictable recently.

 

[Xrperry]

Nothing out of the ordinary in spokane

 

[Mark W.]

Silverton OR I can't remember the last time I saw anyone open carry that wasn't hunting. Except of course at the Capital building during a Protest.

 

[Certaindeaf]

No but I know a guy that started cc wo a license because DANGER!
I was all, "OK".

 

[CRBMoA]

No but I know a guy that started cc wo a license because DANGER!
I was all, "OK".

THOSE are the guys I am worried about!

I've ditched the secret squirrel p938 for a P220 on my shoulder and could care less about printing now.
Does that count?

 

[Certaindeaf]

Yea, in theory. This fella got the gun bug bad about a year ago and has been putting 500 rounds a week downrange since.
I'm not gonna tell him nothin.

 

[TTSX]

Good ol Eugene doesn't have open carriers to speak of. I think I've seen 2 ever. Does walking my 1903 home for a few blocks count? Cause then it'd be 3. Probably should but it'd scare the homeless, sorry "unhoused" too much

 

[OldTengu]

I have seen a huge increase. Mall 205 area.

 

[bbbass]

Nope. Some amount is normal here, but I really am not going out cept to the store and to doc appts. Fortunately those doc appts are specialists and I won't be exposed to sick people!

I haven't seen open carry, but two of my friends told me they recently started carrying every time they leave the house in the last week or so, not because they are on edge but they do feel the people are seeming less predictable recently.

I've added "less lethal" options to my daily carry when I do have to go to the store. People do seem to be short tempered and on edge. I bought two POM pepper sprays, one for me and one for the wife, and I am waiting for a fixed blade horizontal mount carry knife to arrive in the mail.

CANADA just announced (news-on CNBC) that they will close the border to non-citizens.

Of course there will be "some" exceptions.

Aloha, Mark

The U.S. should do the same!!!

Nope , not that I have seen...
But as I teach ....it ain't likely that I will see a gun being carried openly or concealed....

And with that said , now that the schools are closed....
I can starting carrying more ( concealed , yes I have a license )
And , have more time for gun related projects.
