I was out shopping at Krogers, ALDI, Starbucks and picked up a lottery ticket at the neighborhood gas station, all on foot and did not see a single OC person and I did not OC either.

I wish everybody a Happy New Year.

Ran some errands this morning in my near by small town (6400+). Drove around for awhile looking at snow and drifts. Saw zero open carriers. Businesses I stopped at, I was concealed carrying, and couldn't even detect any others doing as I was.

I am not interested in those that haven't carried only those who have. Read the title of the thread.
The question is : Have you open carried in a business since 1/1/2016?

If the answer is "no" to that question, the correct survey answer should be "other".

OC'd at Walmart this morning. No issues, and as far as I saw I was the only one OC at the time. I was mostly watching every one else's reaction. Most people didn't bat an eye, but did see one guy do a double take in the grocery section. But no screaming and no blood in the streets!

But the question asks: Have you open carried in a business since 1/1/2016? And one of the answers, until you removed it, corresponded to a "no".

Apparently it made some sense since it appears you deleted the first post (?) Since the current first post doesn't really give any direction, and changed the poll. Whatever. You can have the last word...

I should since it is my poll. I stated I only wanted to hear from those that had actually opened carried. Sorry if that escaped you.

26 posts before mine and all but a handful were arguments over the intent of the thread and the proper wording of a poll question...

I OC'd in Home Depot and Starbucks with no issues. I didn't notice anyone staring or caring either. I probably won't OC often, but I like having the option to do so.

It was sad. Before I removed the option which reset the poll there were about 20 with yes no problem. Maybe they will come back and vote.

When all is said and done I predict only about 10% of all LTC permit holders will OC. Frankly, most lack the confidence to OC.

Or maybe only 10% are stupid enough to do so. Depends on how you look at it.
