I will not open carry simply because I do not want some lefty-looney saying: “Look, a gun!!!”. Many lefties will do it simply because they are attention whores, not because they feel threatened.

And, why open carry when you can conceal carry? No one needs to know what I am carrying. Open carry also makes a person a target in a bad situation, or creates the opportunity to have it taken away.

I do open carry on our own land.

“Open carry makes you a target”: excuse me while I pick myself up from rolling on the floor laughing.

Although I disagree, in current jurisprudence, concealed carry is a state controlled privilege, open carry is a RIGHT (in states where rights actually exist).

As for the OP, check out www.opencarry.org

As an aside, although I open carry on a regular basis, I’d sure as hell make sure I was doing so if I were to find myself around various leftist groups/individuals.

I occasionally open carry out in the open (always conceal indoors because that’s where a gun is most likely to make me a first-target).
Open carry gets folks used to seeing weapons - and when the occasional loony-lib goes nuts about how scary and dangerous it is, i humor them for a while and then tell them if it was so dang scary, we wouldn’t be having that conversation....has shut every one of them up long enough for me to make a graceful exit...
