I personally prefer CC but dont fuss over those who open carry. Its your choice and really doesn't effect me.
Good thing there were no 5 year old girls in the area.Was standing behind a guy at the bill changer at the car wash ...he was carrying at 4:00 ish with a soft holster with the snap on it
Just kept thinking how easy I could snatch that gun off him (obviously something I'd never do) but with the lack of self control displayed in folks these days that pretty much sealed it for me
But to each their own
That would have been just as bad with an IWB holster as an OWB holster.I don't mind 'seeing' OC when the person has their **** together with a proper holster/belt. Saw a guy a few weeks ago in basketball shorts with some holster clipped to his shorts and he had to hold his pants up and it was just sad. I do have to admit, you can almost always spot those guys that are OC because they want you to see. It is weird to me, but if it makes you feel better! Carrying is what we need; I don't care how you do it, just safely.
That would be so awesome, it would be the most used dictionary on INGO!Good thing there were no 5 year old girls in the area.
We really need an INGO lore/inside joke thread. Maybe hyperlinks of certain words and phrases. No I'm not going to do that, but it would be cool.

This is why we need the hyperlinks to the Ingo dictionary. Several years back there was an anti-2A cop In South band named Sergeant Maxey. Thankfully he is retired now. He told and open carrying Ingo her that I five-year-old girl could take his gun from him.Don't think I understand what you're saying
Further cleanup required.This is why we need the hyperlinks to the Ingo dictionary. Several years back there was an anti-2A cop In South band named Sergeant Maxey. Thankfully he is retired now. He told and open carrying Ingo her that I five-year-old girl could take his gun from him.
That became part of Ingolore, just like the state trooper stole my wallet, the lifetime license to carry is going away, the Boner drone, twigs and berries, the 870 that went off by itself at shoot right, and yes I will include… Moderator and good friend to many of us Churchmouse, who we lost last week, is so old!
In other words there are a lot of inside jokes and Lore at this site.
Edit: Please excuse the talk to text, I will clean it up later.
No clean up on this one, ya'll will have to use the "Southern Indiana English-Talk to Text translator" on this one. Phonetically it was pretty close IIRC.Further cleanup required.

I understand your concerns. It is funny that having openly carried for many years I have never run into a situation like you described.Good comprehensive article. It well reasoned and eloquently presented.
There are valid arguments on both sides. I agree with the author, do what you are comfortable with. Just accept that if you open carry you need to always maintain the higher ground because everything you do will include the modifier "with a gun."
If someone shoots you a dirty look, smile pleasantly and wish them a good day. If someone calls you out in an aggressive manner, thank them for their concern and reassure them that you respect all their constitutional rights. Then walk away.
Don't let some lunatic activist maneuver you into a Ticky Tacky video screaming red faced at some Karen wile a pistol flops around in your Uncle Mikes nylon holster. This is not helpful.
Also make sure you have a good quality holster.
Of course, these rules also apply to concealed carry as well. Open carry just adds an additional variable.
Mostly the only way short of being a Karen people ,are going to notice is if it is an image on their phone screen.I can't even remember the last time I had any interaction with a negative person. Most of the time there is zero interaction. Occasionally a positive one but it's rare. Most people are oblivious.
