Just curious but have either of you open carried and have you been asked for you LTCH by an officer because of it?Amen.
Ditto. Not once. Now I don't usually OC but I do on occasion and have encountered officers while doing so. Absolutely never been asked for my "papers."I've never been asked for my paperwork. Ever.

LEO said he did not care but it does tend to scare the public and would like to not see it
Sig, even if you never OC once in your life, I'll throw in my common saying here:I actually think that is pretty funny about the "security guy" at best buy as I worked at one through college and found that most of the "security guys" really thought they were cops. anyway I do think that OC is a great policy although I have never done it, it is nice to know that I cant get in trouble for my jacket blowing out in the wind revealing my handgun.
A handgun is good enough in most, if not all cases.

few of us OC'd last night at Golden Corral, nobody freaked out or said a word...
11 years and counting... never been asked to "show my papers"

Only because we can conveniently have them with us all or most of the time, whereas a variety of reasons make it difficult to carry a rifle or shotgun as frequently.
Handguns are puny and pathetic. Over 95% of people shot with handguns in America survive, including suicide attempts. The same is not true for rifle wounds.
In other news . . . for those who claim that someone will freak out and call the cops automatically if they see someone open carrying . . . I open carried in Golden Corral (my first time there) last night in Terre Haute. No one said anything to me, no one called the cops, no problems at all. Also, no one entered to rob the place and shot me first, but that may have been because no one chose to rob the place anyway.
Not sure I would agree that handguns are puny and pathetic. Also, I'd sure like to know where you get those statistics about the number of people who survive being shot. You know the old saying . . . 88% of all statistics are made up.
Something I would be worried about with open carry is getting gun snatched. You reach for your food at the counter and someone behind has open access to your gun. I only carry concealed. If someone entered a store with open carry I would have one hand on my gun and one eye on them at all times. I don't know who they are and what they are doing. If it makes me uncomfortable think what it does to someone that is nervous around guns. I know it is legal but makes me nervous.
By the way beautiful gun
I've had my license for over 6 years, but I guess I never knew about the open carry. I've carried concealed the whole time, which is often quite necessary for me, since I'm a pastor.
John Farnam, quoting FBI and Dept. of Justice statistics among others. Feel free to do the searching yourself.
Handguns are puny and pathetic. No agreement necessary for the truth to be the truth.
