This was in Arizona where I am visiting.

I did that over spring break. Just make sure it is concealed and have a CHL for Alabama and Louisianna (gray area).sss wrote:I'm driving to Florida in a few weeks - planning on open carrying my G23 as I drive through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We'll see how that works out. :)
You may want to check local laws for where you are as I believe Arizona is like Missouri and the local entities (cities and towns) may enact ordinances prohibiting the carry of firearms in parks unless you have a CHL and then it must be concealed.ml1209 wrote:I had it in a leather holster that I tucked into my belt. It was not an IWB holster. The Glock was hanging out for all the world to see. I went to a Starbucks. I got a couple of hellos and a few smiles, but no one said anything.

I can't speak for anyone else here, but I'd like to "try" open carry at least once. I don't see any harm in doing so.tboesche wrote:While I support the right to open carry, I have to ask WHY? If you have a CHL and the state you are in recognizes our CHL, Hide that thing.
No, but this guy has, twice. http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... =7&t=24332" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.waffenmacht wrote:Wait, you open-carried and had a normal, modern life experience? I mean, NO cowboys on horses?, No shootouts like at the Ok Corral? No funny Italian music playing in the background as the Wells Fargo stagecoach passes by? How is it possible that you could open-carry and not throw your state back into the days of the old west?
I open carried in NV and AZ, both times it was great. I even did it in Scottsdale, where I got a few looks, but no problems.ml1209 wrote: This was in Arizona where I am visiting.
boy howdy, it depends on where you are. I have a considerable proportion of my family in Pheelis, they have lived there for generations, and will tell you how the "Californians" have been moving in and trying to make it LA East....txmatt wrote:Guess people are just more level headed out there.
