Good point.There is nothing to cover. You would not be prosecuted. Stop worrying about.
What do the other 2972 threads on this topic say?
I haven’t found any relating personal open carry experiences in MA. Maybe you should read the question more slowly.
No, I don’t.They wouldn’t cover a trumped up “assault” charge from a snowflake for just lawfully open carrying you don’t think?
I carry concealed IWB and was told by firearms instructor it’s lawful to open carry in MA but it’s led to many a 911 call by liberal snowflakes for “man with a gun!”. In one case an actual assault charge was brought when a snowflake “felt” threatened when a concealed carrier printed reaching up for the cereal in a grocery store.
I don’t need that hassle.
Any open carry experiences?
Depends on the town - sometimes they just ask you to move your range further back on your property so that they can tell the complaining party that you are completely legal and moved to make them happy.In MA open carry is likely to end up like a noise violation or a disturbing of the peace thing. If everyone at 7 11 freaks out and calls cops on open carry, then they will say it Is a disturbance to others. Just like shooting in your backyard. You may have the 500 ft and all that jazz, bottom line is that if enough c***s call, there will be action. I mean shit, they do not allow gas powered weed whackers or leaf blowers over such and such a decibel level in some towns
This may not be 'ideal' but it is no doubt the current state of affairs.
It's a day late,I don't open carry, but I do carry a Glock 19 OWB in the winter. It is mostly hidden under my shirt and I don't really care if people notice it when I'm grabbing the Cocoa Puffs off the top shelf.
And yet when you tell them,... they’ve been so propagandized that guns are bad that the irony of actually confronting and accosting someone with a gun, for having a gun, goes right over their heads. It’s mind boggling.
Does it count as "open carry" when everyone passing by on the busy street bordering one side of my house sees me carrying an AR and AK to my garage for cleaning in broad daylight
It doesn't count unless people stopped at a traffic lightIs it open carry every week when you carry your rifle cases and ammo can to the car on the way to the range? I’m sure my neighbors know what’s going on. We still wave and say hello.
Things that don't work for people: LTFY.Tactically open carry doesn't work for me.
Wow, spoken like a true dick headUnless making a political “statement” or on a range, open carry is beyond stupid. Given the OP’s other absurd thread suggesting indiscriminate searches of everyone in poor urban areas I’m guessing the current open-carry thread is borne out of some silly CCW fantasies academically based on action movies.
Wow, spoken like a true dick head
Urrr... op have some respec...... them guys on here can get nasty really fast lol. One time i got set up by a dude on here cause he dont like the way i talk to him, he got me waiting for his ass like 3 hours, and he never show up.Wow, spoken like a true dick head
Glock 30 is my winter carry too! IWB though, but it definitely still has a tendency to poke out.I OWB my Glock 30 in the winter months, last year my brother in-law and I were at the mall getting some Christmas shopping done, I was wearing a sport coat instead of my normal Carrhartt and the butt of my pistol got caught under the rear cut on my jacket, heard someone gasp behind me as I smoothed it back over.
As we were leaving the store I noticed that we had picked up 3-4 security guards staying about 25-30’ away from us, we were working our way to the exit when 6-7 cops showed up and pulled me aside, asked if I had a firearm and if I was licensed, I explained what had happened and that because of the cut on the back of the coat it slid over and got caught when I was getting my wallet out. While they ran my license we were shooting the shit about guns, where I shot if I was into any competition style stuff the officer that pulled me aside said he carried the same off duty and wished more people would carry, told us we were all set, could keep shopping and to have a nice night.
This was in Leominster Ma, I don’t open carry and this is a good example of people freaking out and over reacting, luckily the officers that responded did it without any extra theatrics
WTF, thread was just getting good and OP decides to rename the thread DELETE. Dammit, let this thread live op and grow a set.I used to worry about printing when I first got my license. I never worry about it now. Open carry? Who wants to be the first target for the bad guy? Practice gray man. I’m starting to get an outline of my Seecamp in my jeans pocket. Nobody notices. People are in their own worlds.
Because that is what they are conditioned to do.I will never understand why the people who are concerned/threatened about a "man with a gun" (who is not threatening anyone) get on the phone and request for more people with guns to show up, all of them usually open carrying?
OWB Appendix?Tactically open carry doesn't work for me. But I would care if I saw someone doing it. People fear too much.
Nah I'm too fat. It would look like a gun was floating aimed at my bellyOWB Appendix?
