Compensation. That said, there are several senerios where open carry apply.

Personal choice. Point is we don't need .gov to make it for us. Next thing you know they'll be trying to force you into healthcare.

it was all started by a guy who cant conceal carry, who thought he would be able to open carry if the law was passed.....just my opinion.

Comfort, easily accessible. A possible deterrent.

It's personal... That means it's nobody's business to make someone else's personal choice.

But I'm happy to share my personal reasons. IWB carry in July sucks. I can wear an outside holster, which my shirt will pretty much conceal. I'll still print, I may show if I reach for a high shelf... But open carry means I don't have to worry about it.

People who spend a lot of time hiking, camping or fishing in areas where they might encounter wackos or wild animals but otherwise don't have a need for a CHL. I doubt we will see a lot of people walking around suburbia with Glocks on their hip after the fad wears off, but I can see a need if I'm out hiking or bank fishing.

Please provide one (1) example where this has happened in the 44 states that currently allow open carry to support your opinion... Or look up the definition of naive and apply it to the correct individual here.


Anxiously awaiting...

do your own research......I dont have time for fools......google may help you, check out Grisham Oregon.

I already have. That's why I'm 100% confident you will fail to find any facts that support your opinion. My opinion, however, has 44 states with open carry history to support it.

Do you need me to look up the definition of fool for you?

In cooler weather it will be nice to throw on an OWB paddle holster, a light jacket/fleece and not have to worry about covering my pistol with my shirt. I'll still be semi-concealed, but won't have to worry about my jacket being zipped at the bottom all the time.

My intention is make use of Open Carry to wear a sidearm when hunting on public land or any other places where I might be alone and remote with the wife and family. I'll continue to carry concealed in more public and populated areas.

The law will also remove the fear of "printing" when carrying concealed, correct?

Grisham Oregon......google is your friend.

This is why it matters. #freedome.

So the guy in another post that was nekid, he had an open carry permit ?

Plausible deniability. Facts get in the way of this.

I answered his question twice, oregon is an open carry state and there is a documented case of an open carry guy getting robbed of his handgun.

crickets.......

That was the answer I received a few years ago when I asked one of my former hunters why he carried a six-shooter on his hip when he filled the corn feeders. All said with a beer in hand.

Welcome to Tombstone.

GRESHAM, Ore. - A 21-year-old Oregon man was proud enough of his brand new Walther P22 handgun that he was carrying it in the open during the wee hours of Saturday morning after purchasing it earlier in the day.

Police say another young man in grey sweatpants, a white t-shirt and flip-flops then approached and asked for a cigarette, according to CBS affiliate KOIN in Portland.

William Coleman was then told by the man in flip-flops: "I like your gun. Give it to me."

It looks like most folks will still conceal carry, I could care less either way.

I think most folks share your opinion......opinions may vary among soccer moms and Liberals.

[quo te=IHateFeralPigs]I won't Open Carry my pistol but i will have less concerns about printing or accidently showing it from under concealment. Open Carry will get yourself attention and i am a fairly shy person... [/quote]
We have open carry and it is nice not to have to worry if you accidentally show or print. I haven't seen anyone carry open since the law changed.

I guess I dont get my apology.....CDoan???????
