MG,

You stated: "I live in NM. I have rarely seen anyone open carry. Unfortunately, the ones I have seen, are the ones you don't want open carrying"

On what do you base your criteria for that judgement?

Perhaps others would look at you and have their doubts about you based on your appearance or mine or anyone's.

Many folks immediately base their judgement on character because someone's wearing a suit, tie and his shoes are polished. Darned yuppee scum. Corporate dweeb. Money grubbing hack who probably hasn't worked a day in his life of ease. Not appreciating this guy was raised on a ranch and broke horses for side money and built fence.

Or, he's tatted up and dressed like a gang banging thug, then you see the back of his jacket and it says something along the lines of Brothers In Christ and he's passing flyers to attend his Methodist/Lutheran/Presbyterian, Church of the Immaculate Conception/ or Synagogue.

What's that's old cliche?

You can't tell a book by it's cover.

And the other one: Who are you to judge, or me or anyone?

"Before I got here your discussion seemed to be very bland."

Ah, yes, before you got here...chuckle...

I really don't understand why people with Chl's want to open carry? The only thing it tends to prove is that there really are gun nuts out there and the law abiding citizens such as myself seems to get thrown in with the rest!
Please tell me who REALLY needs to know you have a firearm? ?
Would you people PLEASE tone it down! !!!

Walking around with an open firearm does not look cute nor will it PROTECT any better than concealed.
Law enforcement, Military, and Armed officers are the only people who need to have open firearms.

OPEN CARRY WILL NEVER MAKE YOU OR ANYONE AROUND YOU FEEL MORE SAFE OR SECURE! .... AND that's a fact.

This is my favorite part of this post: Would you people PLEASE tone it down! !!!

Absolutely hilarious!

Plus, walking around with an open firearm (huh?) not only looks cute, but makes my butt look smaller.

Especially, because I'm gettin me a big ole hog leg to strut my stuff with and make folks who don't like OCers green with envy.

I'm looking forward to see who OC's.

I won't be doing it, but then again, who knows?

Maybe I'll OC just for the novelty of it.

I can see myself in HEB or Walmart with a big ole hogleg strapped on me hip and the looks of delight expressed on my fellow shoppers faces when they get a gander at my hand cannon.

I'll leave my Glock 19 at home (too drab for OCing) and buy me a big ole 44 magnum revolver residing inside a beautifully tooled Tucker holster. Yeah Buddy!

I wasn't going to OC, but after reading this thread, the outrage declared regarding OC has actually motivated me into thinking about how much fun I'll be missing if I don't OC...

C'mon, Jan 1, 2016, the day to celebrate OCing in Texas.

Yeehaw!

All us gun nuts are gonna have fun!!
