Yes, I am posting to an old thread - because over the last couple of months, I am suddenly seeing more and more open carry. It has gone from pretty rare, to every few days, with a mixture of people types - and gun types. Not the same people each time. It has clearly been ramping up.
Just this week, a guy in a restaurant with a full sized stainless 1911. (Obvious call for attention)
A 40-something year old gal with a snub nose revolver on her hip, leaving the boat repair shop.
Saturday, a guy in his 50's wearing a compact pistol in the hardware store.
I am trying to figure out what is driving this change.
Summer....warmer weather and less clothing.... Are you thinking that this summer is hotter than previous? I am sensing some sort of attitude shift. Marc

A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Actually think this summer is a little cooler than the past couple. I just think all the drama of open carry is long past and people are becoming more casual about it. Cooler weather makes carrying concealed easier...Jes my

I have seen one and it wasn't in Texas. I went on a trip this summer to Georgia and noticed a guy carrying when I went to Wal-Mart. I didn't know they had open carry.

Yea...even I did open carry, which I don't, there is NO effn way I would open carry (handgun or long gun) anywhere right now. Especially in Walmart. People are going to freak out and chit will hit the fan. You might beat the wrap but you're not going to beat the initial freak out reaction.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Try that today, even though it's legal you are going to be met with a swift police response and you with make the national news.

I open carry every day. Got a custom shoulder holster built so I can carry my G17 suppressed on strong side and my G19 on week side.
I look like a BAMF
