Do not confuse open carry in a rural setting with open carry in an urban setting.
Out where the deer and the antelope play a sidearm as well as long arm are useful accouterments for the shot opportunities that arise when confronted with nuisance and in some cases dangerous animals (of the 4 legged kind)
Best regards,
No confusion on that score. In fact I plan on doing the same while hunting and fishing in areas far away from civilization, but in urban areas I’m not looking to make a statement.
