Poppin' that open carry cherry

Weer'dyJay G., Dennis, and Nancy popped their open carry cherries at the NRA convention this weekend and Alan OC'd for only his 2nd time.

I think Jay G. summed it up nicely in comments over at Alan's

"Y’know, before this weekend, I really didn’t *get* open carry..... That’s all changed.
It’s liberating..... It’s simply indescribable how open carry is synonymous with freedom."

Amen brother!  Open carry is the very epitome of freedom.  Freedom, it's a beautiful thing!  I'm still annoyed at myself for not carrying.

The only problem with open carry (I do support OC) is that people always ask if your a cop. That alone is enough to go back to concealed carry. Just gets plain annoying.

I've NEVER had anyone ask if I'm a cop, then again I don't exactly give off the cop vibe.

Time for me to start OC'ing more often. I can do it in VA, and I've long thought that it's the average, non-threatening-type of person that should be doing it. I'm just not sure if I'm "non-threatening" enough. *grin*

And glad you liked the shoes.

Because I like my hair short, people are constantly asking if I am a police officer when I open carry. When I politely tell them that I'm not, it has always led to interesting and pleasant conversations about open carrying.

I would agree with Lawyer, I have never really had a bad conversation with someone about open carry. I am a military police officer so I do fit the look off duty. Most likely that is the cause of my issues. Due to posse comitatus I usually leave my job out of any explanation I give.

Wonder if there's OC in St.Louis? Time to do some research.

OC is the best because it's so comfortable. Comfortable IWB holsters aren't even in the same league as a not-so-comfortable OWB holster.

All the cool kids are doing it!
