i open carry but i am not obvious about it and i dont really like when passer bys point me out it is unneeded attention

How can you open carry without being obvious? Conceal it?

How can you open carry without being obvious? Conceal it?

Even when I have to conceal I prefer to be obvious about it.

If you have an IWB, a black handled gun, and a dzrk T shirt, that could be considered "not obvious"

I never really been confronted while OC. I was walking into Walmart one time and a LEO just happened to be walking out. He asked if I had a LTCH and I told him I did, he never asked to see it though. He then told me to cover up my gun, I told him it was fine where it was. I got a ****ty look as he walked off, that was it.

I was asked by an older gentleman a few weeks ago at Walmart if I was a LEO. It kind of surprised me as I have a pony tail almost to my waist. Just said no and we had a nice discussion on OC. He was interested as he carried most of the time except in the summer when he couldn't cover up. He was afraid of harassment for OCing even though he knew it was legal. I explained that I JC (just carry) and don't generally concern myself with OC/CC. I also told him that I do feel that a right you are afraid to use is a right you've already lost. It was a nice conversation and he plans to now carry more that he usually does.

Just got asked twice this week.

Gas station attendant, and some guy at McDonalds.

 

[mainjet]

I was asked once. It went like this.

I was stopped at a stop light down town at night. A woman walked up and knocks on my car window and I rolled it down.

Woman: You a cop?
Me: no
Woman: want a date?

 

[Dino81]

i get asked that, yes. 2nd place goes to, "is that real?" lmao

 

[CTC B4Z]

i put finger to lips and say ssshhhhhhh

 

[Woodro29]

Pretty rare that anyone ever says anything. If they do, I use the line I learned on INGO. I just tell them I'm head of security for a very important South Bend family. If they ask who, I say "Mine".

This has to be one of the best answers I have ever read!!!

I agree...I'm going to have to start using this one. When someone responds, thats pretty good...I'll tell them it's all because of Stocks.

I can't take credit for it, Lance. It was from IN_Sheepdog.

When I used to OC, about a year ago, I always had my "cop hair" and my beard was a lot shorter than it is now. I've been asked if I was a cop, security, and when the beard got a bit longer a mercenary....Not civilian contractor, but mercenary. I never dressed like a cop or acted like one. I guess some people see an OC'd gun and automatically think off duty cop. I got more questions about the legality of OC and general info about the LTCH than anything, though.

 

[Libertarian01]

I don't give a crap about anyone else... I would feel silly not carrying matching pistols.

ETA: Even General Patton rarely carried his Colt and his S&W together despite the movies.

To All,

This is so true. Matching is a requirement. I believe it's even in the Bible.

According the the Book of Rambo Chapter 7, Verse 3:

"Verily I say unto thee who shall go forth unto the world to shepherd the meek, thou shalt carry at thy side a sword with which to defend the Lords flock. And thou shall smite down with great vengance those who would do harm unto the People. Thou shall keep thy sword sharp and keen at all times to cleave thine enemies in twain.

And if thy shield be lost thou shalt pull thy second sword that shall match in all detail thy first sword, so that thou enemies may not tell the two apart. Thus shall equal cleaving be done upon the unrighteous."

So you see your pistols must match if you are going to carry two (2) of them. (Unless the other is a backup, but that is covered in Verse 9 of the Book of Rambo.)

Regards,

Doug
