Anyone Open Carry?

I do. Just wondering if anyone else does. If so, what have your experiences been like? I'm a member of opencarry.org as well.

I haven't done it all that much but I have had no negative experiences thus far. However I do carry my video cam whenever I do just for the moments I get stopped by the boys in blue that may be ignorant to the constitution as it stands to their municipality.

What do you carry? I didn't realize California allowed the open carry policy.

Yup.. California has an open carry policy and under rule 12031 (e), an officer is allowed to check the weapon to see if it's loaded but that's it. It's still a violation of the 4th Amendment IMO but it is what it is for now...

I carry a Glock 20 (10mm).

lol @ 4th amendment. I think the point of the weapons check is to ensure the safety of many and damn the rights of one person. I could be wrong...

Glock 20... I think that's what the Famous But Incompetent carry....

The "many" are safer just for the reason that a law abiding citizen is carrying one in the first place.

I don't know what the Foolish Boys In black carry. Could be.

Sorry but I wouldnt want anyone to realize I had a gun on me until I had to use it....could just be askin for problems.

I concealed carry

I open carried until our new law permitting concealed without a permit. Like blue, I'd rather people didn't know I have it unless I needed it.

I'm with you on that however given that Los Angeles County has been a pretty much "noway are we gonna grant you your CCW" county, open is the way it is for now since I'm not law enforcement or retired military. Hopefully that will change. It can go both ways however when someone sees the gun. Most don't wanna mess with you.

I currently am pursuing getting my CCW however. We'll see what happens.

Yeah, I don't want someone having the upper hand by getting to it before I do.

I completely understand. I can draw, drop the empty mag, load the hot mag, pull the slide and draw a front site bead on someone in about 3 seconds. I practice a lot however both with a private special forces trainer and on my own. It's not to say things won't happen but when your packin iron on your hip in the open, situational awareness becomes hightened for sure.

Ummm...... no open carry in California. Went through the Police academy in california... not legal. Well let me correct myself, not legal with a magazine or bullet anywhere near your person. Which imo isn't worth lugging around a piece of metal that can't do nething. No concealed carry in California either... I dont know where your living but it aint in california

also I conceal carry a glock .45 and a glock .40
