Holster complment

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.

Holster complment

Post by charliej47 »

I was open carrying at Lowe's and a gentleman saw my holster and liked it.

I took it off and gave him the name of the guy from Gatlinburg that made it. We talked for a few minutes about different types of holsters.

The one I have is made by Gary McCoy and it is modeled after the "Texas Ranger" design. :lol:

"Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
Amen

Yeah. Handling your gun in a public establishment is a great way to get the welcome mat rolled up. In the academy they taught us to never allow our equipment to become the topic of conversation. I don't follow that to the letter but I will never let a conversation get to the point that I am pulling said equipment out.

Exactly, that is what they tried in Oberlin last year. For us to start handling our guns. Didn't work for her.

She might have convinced the student with Mosin-Nagant rifle, if not for MyWifeSaidYes and I standing behind her and vigorously shaking our heads "No".

Yeah..I will tell them the specs of my firearms..But if they want more than that, I direct them to a local range that may possibly have that model..Or direct them to the manufacturer's website.

I got back in my vehicle, stored my weapon, came back out and took off the holster to show it.

After everything was over, I put the holster back on and got back into my vehicle and re-holstered. :shock:
