OMG positive carry experience...

[Double T]

another +1 to the OC

Guy stopped me outside of my gas station:

Guy "Hey man you got a second"
Me "sure thing"
Guy "Can you carry your pistol anywhere except federal buildings as long as you have a license?"
Me "No, I can carry it anywhere that is not a daycare, has a court room, a federal building, or an airport. Also, a lot of people think and will tell you that you have to cover it up. The laws don't specify, so I carry openly as it's more comfortable."
Guy "Cool thanks."
Me "No problem."


Again, had the pistol been covered, this guy might have got a license and commited a felony possession OC +1, CC -1

Nice! I actually love to hear the positives when it comes to open carry!
I also enjoy the fact that everyday citizens will be curious enough to ask someone who open carries whats up?

I love that too but sometimes it's more fun to hear about the bad experiences.
All those OC without any trouble are getting boring ...

 

[9mmfan]

Great! Thanks for relaying a positive story instead of the usual five year old girl stuff

 

[88GT]

Is it bad that I'm more surprised at the courtesy of the other guy?

+1 Double T keep up the good work.

 

[repeter1977]

Great story, and its always good to hear the positive. As I had posted in another thread, most people don't post the positive, so its hard to know. One would think reading the threats that EVERYONE that OC'ed would be harassed.

Just a small correction.. AFAIK, Airport property is OK, secured areas are not..

You are doing it wrong.You have to look for trouble and act all crazy when you OC, then you might get some cool stories for us.

Right.

HAIR man. You have to have long hair

So I'm standing on the corner, OC or course. Screaming at people to warn them that the space aliens are already among us and they all drive Buicks --real slow! I'm flapping my arms because I'm trying to fly away and some LEO comes up and tells me to quiet down then asks me about my gun and whether or not I have a permit! I told him off while squawking like a chicken! I'm so tired of police harassment just because I'm practicing my 2nd Amendment rights!

There, better now?

I believe a licensed daycare falls under the school classification. Some one will be by to quote the IC on that soon.

Here's a thread that has the IC I mentioned with regards to a daycare. It is the last post.

Right.

Be careful, as there was a lady arrested the other day on airport property, in front of her kids, because GASP, she took some photos, that were on the public road. Of course, there is abit more to the story, but she did not do anything illegal, but was still stopped harrassed, etc
Mother of 3 Arrested for Taking Pictures of Tourist Attraction at Airport

Not saying that you can't, just like OC, you have to be careful for idiots that don't know the law. You might win in the end, but how much money and time will you be out?

That was in 2009 and sound VERY fishy to me.

OP, I would say +1 OC, 0 for CC though
