kind of open carried?

Open Carry is carrying a firearm unconcealed in Ohio. OC does not require a concealed handgun license, but the practice requires intimate knowledge of the law since there are places and situations where OC is prohibited but carrying concealed would be permitted. OC is also likely to attract attention. This forum is for discussion of OC, not for debating the pro's and con's or coordinating any type of protest events.

kind of open carried?

Post by ohiozx3 »

i was out running around looking for some ammo and decided to carry my sr1911 in the new holster that just arrived, it was super comfortable, i love this holster. i made the mistake of wearing a tshirt thats a little short and it kept getting caught on the handle. i went to a small resturant my mother works at on saturdays to get some lunch. i was sitting there enjoying my BLT when i realized that my shirt rode up and didnt bother to pull it back down. there was a couple ladies who were eating there and i heard one of them whisper, "hey look, he has a gun", at this point im thinking to myself... great... here we go. when i heard next was a shocker, the older of the 2 ladies says " SO WHAT?" i just sat there, grinned, and turn around a bit and nodded at her. i need to get some longer T's.

What would have been cooler was if the lady followed up her "so what" with "mines in my purse".

Do you feel like you lost your tactical advantage with the younger woman?
No, I am not a policeman. I am a mercenary praying for peace on Earth.
I don't want a tactical advantage. I want the bad guys to repent and find a new line of work.
