Re: Pictures of your daily (OPEN) carry
Well, apologies. I figure I will open carry in some situations. I'll move on.

Re: Pictures of your daily (OPEN) carry
The tactics of concealed carry (and the social aspects, as well) make daily open carry undesirable for me.
However, I've started to think about modified concealed carry. Concealed carry with practical, but not perfect, concealment. OWB under a safari shirt on my motorcycle, where the shirt can kite up to my armpit, things like that.
I already conceal carry, IWB, under a shirt like that on my bike, but I make darn sure the shirt tail is trapped by my sadly ample butt. It will be nice not to have to worry quite so much. I'll still be coy, but less paranoid.
Rights not exercised are vulnerable to loss, so I figure I'll probably open carry in some limited situations. EDC, that's going to be completely concealed - at least from ten feet away.
Today, the question seems different. Yesterday it was an academic thing, to be analyzed but still prohibited. Now, I've softened just a smidgen on the inadvisability of open carry.
Hopefully the rest of the state will, as well.
I'm celebrating today. Normally I carry a Kahr PM9. Today, sitting here in a laundromat since my dryer got fried by lightning, I'm carrying my lovely Kimber, IWB under an untucked shirt, cocked, locked, chambered, and fully loaded - and, of course, at peace with my fellow man.
And I'm pretty sure I've got the prettiest gal at the laundromat.
I have the deepest respect for those who support the Second Amendment. They invest trust in their fellow man and that's a rising tide that makes us all safer in the dark-alley little picture, and more secure in the big picture of world politics. It's not just vaccination against tyranny, it's a deterrent to invasion, terrorism, and all manner of attack against America.
