utah passed it,no problems
I, too, have some concerns about open carry. Main concern is it is like waving a red flag in front of a bull; the bull being the anti-gun crowd. Just stirs them up with no real gain and could motivate them to dream up all sorts of mischief.
Weapon retention is also more of an issue w/open carry than with CCW.
I would prefer to carry concealed and retain the element of surprise should the need ever arise.

hm

What does that mean?? And what about Glock people??
In Connecticut, we have open carry, but the police frown on it.

What about a revolver?? Cock and fire - or with a DA, just pull the trigger.
Why do they give us good laws, burdened with silly junk?

Im with hm1996. The element of surprise can be a good thing. And i would rather not be herrased by anyone. You know were stupid laws come from?? Stupid a** people who dont know there a** from a hole in the ground.

I'm with you on that - if I need to carry, I don't want any possible opposition to know it and be set up for me - I want them to think I am a helpless sheeple - it gives me the advantage.
For me, open carry is for a camping or hunting trip.

It is our constitutional right so I'm for it. Obviously in the outdoor world it is useful. In the city world it probably isn't really all that practical. Especially so after all the municipalities pass their own laws to make it illegal – and you can bet that will happen very soon.

I would like to see the "Printing is brandishing" aspect disappear, but if and when it happens in Texas, I'll vomit every time I see a mall ninja strutting around in his 5.11 pants and boots and a big azz Glock 17 hanging from his thigh rig like Batman. I freakin hate those guys. "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"
