Open Carry?
I have owned handguns for over 40 years and concealed carried for over 40 years. Personally, except when hunting or on the range, I have always preferred not to open carry. I prefer to be discrete with my weapons. I do not desire to draw attention to myself or my party. If asked what I am carrying, I might tell you but I'll never let you see unless I am in the hunting field, on the range, or at home. Robert a. Heinlein once stated, "An armed society is a polite society". I agree but also acknowledge that with our right to defend ourselves also comes a responsibility to act prudently, judicially, and respectfully. I avoid establishments that prohibit or infringe upon my rights just as I avoid individuals or organizations that seek to deny me my God given freedom. I say this not to promote debate or disention among the ranks but rather do so as a statement of my personal creed. I visit this site often both to contribute but mostly to learn and fellowship with other like minded gun owners and patriotic Americans. Good shooting.
