open carry......

[cofi]

I have my ccw but when its hot as balls I like to oc I went to toss on my glock 30 yesterday and the wife says NO WAY after the thearter tragedy it would draw way to much negitive attention.....is anyone noticing a neg reaction to oc or does anyone think I'm stupid for still wanting to oc???

Let us know if attitudes have changed where you have normally OC'ed, I am not trying to make a smart ass comment, I am just curious to see if attitudes have changed since 7/20/12 in our state as far as the public is concerned.

Everyone has their opinion but I just think oc is stupid in general. Even if a perp was around you are putting a big target on you. With ccw the beauty is no one, including the perps, know you have it. And she is likely right, lefties would be completely freaked if they saw you carrying, can't say I blame them so soon after a tragedy.

If your gonna open carry at least do it with a shotty or an AR-15 strapped to your back....

I saw a guy at Home Depot with his 2 kids OC the other day and thought nothing of it until the guy I was with from work asked "is that legal?" "I don't know if I'd want the attention." I told him Yes and don't worry about it, not only is he with his kid but if he was planning something wrong I'm sure he wouldn't be walking around Home Depot OC. I am curious about the attitudes of others too. OC is your right but you never know it may attract way more attention right now.

I OC almost everywhere I go and where it is allowed.

I OC'd at Wally world Saturday and did get some attention... but I would consider it good ones. Most had eye to eye contact with me and they'd smirk or nod their heads of approval or some sh*t (Hard not to notice'em looking and I can't read their minds), but positive feelings all around.
One guy actually approached me and asked how would it work for him being from Oregon to open carry in Colorado... I couldn't give him an answer and just suggested looking it up before doing anything.

I'm pretty sure there will be some that will feel uncomfortable about it and will more than likely call 911. It hasn't happened to me yet, and I'm not looking forward to it either... but that's still not a good reason for me not to OC

I agree with many of the sentiments above, that Im not interested in the attention and thus won't be of anytime soon.

I have already responded to this exact question in another thread...
Confirmation of a Partial Recruitment Tonight

I open carried around the Springs today while I was there also. No one had a problem with it that I could see and some had quesitons. I haven't had this many people ask me about carrying a firearm in a year or two compared to the last couple days. This seems like a good chance for us to open people's eyes.

These questions are from all types also, those that know what an Hk is, and those that think I mean my gun is from Hong Kong or something.
