OPEN CARRY THOUGHTS

(1/4) > >>

ejdaigle1:
Does anyone do any open carrying? In the winter I often carry OWB because I carry medium to large pistols (G19, CZ P-01, Sig P229).  During the winter and colder months I can easily conceal a larger gun OWB.  I don't have a hard time concealing these guns IWB because I dress appropriately, but I prefer OWB simply because it is more comfortable.  I was just wondering if anyone has carried openly and dealt with anything here in NE?  I live a bit north of Arlington, NE so it is rural, but a lot of people out here are close enough to Omaha that it is tough to read how this would go.  Thoughts?

I know that there is a tactical advantage to keeping it concealed, I am just curious as to peoples' experiences.

Range Mom:
I do on occasion.  Several reasons like you mentioned.  I live in Sarpy County and have never had an issue pretty much anywhere I went. Have carried a few times in the Omaha.  A few looks now and then,  but nothing really.  Lincoln a few times as well with no issues.

StuartJ:
Only people I've seen open carrying in Lincoln not law enforcement or security, are employees and customers of Big Shots gun range/store and people at the 2nd Amendment rallies outside the Nebraska capital building.

In Missouri every time I see one of my cousins (funerals and weddings) he's open carrying because he says "the first rule of a gun fight is have a gun". I haven't asked him but I assume he's got one or two concealed backups.  And probably a blade or two.

ILoveCats:
That’s awesome. The weddings and funerals I go to are pretty lame by comparison.

Me too, with no pound sign in front.  I've noticed a few but almost never.  I'd prefer no one know.  YMMV
