Open Carry?

[07JKX]

they werent just pan-handling, they were walking up on me (and since you were there why dont you tell everyone about it specifically, or are you just another all knowing arm-chair commando behind a screen?)

dont be surprised when you contract hep-c because you let an aggressive douche get to close to ya

I was actually walking in front of you when it happened. but since I was OC... they targeted you instead. Sorry bro

Right. Just pull it out after you curse at someone for panhandling.

LOL
And if you CCW be sure to pick one of these. That way you can carry concealed but still advertise it:

Ha, not an armchair anything...just referencing YOUR story about your FOURTH time 'having to pull your weapon."

I like Hep C.

well, you were clearly there all 4 times in atlanta when i felt threatened enough to defend myself by using threat of force. ive only pointed it one person though

and you sound like a chairborne ranger to me, just sayin

Open carry is legal as long as you have a permit, without a carry permit you have to be hunting with a handgun to be legal
I'm pretty sure this is correct for the state of georgia ,if anyone has better info please share

Maybe I just don't get nervous as easily? I walk around south central LA detroit, etc in the middle of the night and I've never felt threatened enough that I needed to pull a gun, a knife or anything else ... I've had thug life punks in my face and I always manage to make the situation go away with words. Maybe it's how/where I was raised or the training or something but if that gun comes out of the holster it isn't a threat it's because it's time to shoot something.... period. They don't call it cocked, locked and ready to rock for no reason.

Or maybe the difference is that I don't want to actually shoot someone and maybe you actually do?

Agreed to some extent open carry is like a uniformed officer. Part deterant and part tactical stupidity. Most thugs will leave you be because they're looking for "soft targets". However a determined attacker will indeed shoot you first. I believe the element of surprise is vital so it conceal for me.

Can you provide factual evidence that this has ever happened? I hear this all the time,but have never read or heard or seen a news report where anyone open carrying was shot for his gun or "shot first" in a robbery or any other situation. I put this in the category of urban legend unless you can provide actual proof that what you state has actually occurred.

yes , all the time , but i keep it covered at all times, best not to bring attention to yourself.
