Or so says the owner of Blue Star Police Supply on Hampden and Monaco. I went in there today to buy a holster for camping this weekend (can you believe I had never gotten around to getting a holster until now?!). Wanted OWB for open carry, as I still haven't gotten my permit either, and said so. Guy went off and was like "as long as you're camping it's fine, because people get it out there, but if you open carry in the city you WILL go to jail, have your weapon melted down, and be charged with felony menacing. No ifs, ands or buts." I didn't want to antagonize him as I just wanted to buy a damn holster (got a Fobus paddle, feels nice so far), but he's way off base.

Isn't he?
