A Thank You

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.

A Thank You

Post by troy bilt »

While out shopping for groceries today I had a fellow thank me for open carrying. He said I would like to thank you for what your doing as he glanced down at my firearm.

I tried to see if he was also carrying but could not see any signs that he was. Maybe he is just good at concealing :D
I have struggled with dyslexia my entire life. I know it's spelled wrong but thanks for pointing it out.

I wonder if he recognized you as an ordinary citizen open carrying, or whether he mistook you for a plain-clothes officer?

"...thank you for what you're doing..." makes it sound like he realized he was talking to a non-LEO open carrier.

I dunno... I get thanked for what I "do" from time to time while I'm in uniform. Seems to be happening more lately given what's been going on the news as well.

I haven't trimmed my beard for more than 19 months. I don't believe I look like a officer of any kind :D Maybe he thought I was captain caveman (off duty).

Hah! I've been doing that since 1991. But I caution people,not everyone can pull off that look. Have a misshaped skull for whatever reason? One that comes to a point? Or ears that stick out like Dumbo's? Then you need to find another solution. (Or just learn to live with hair loss) :lol:

This man does not exactly fit the Borsely method meme, but he is a biker arrested in the Waco shootings:

He also happens to be a retired San Antonio vice detective.
