Sums it up for me... and "sorry" to anyone whose feelings are hurt....

NENick:
Wasn't it extremely difficult to get a concealed carry permit in California, which limited most people to open carry? People who then open carried were the subject to the hassle that comes along with it, which then caused them to react due to fear/frustration - open carry in groups/ make statement?

I understand why those people did what they did. I'll add that I never OC unless I'm wandering around in the woods or away from people. The higher situational awareness is also too much for me.

Interesting video. I look forward to observing the discussion that will inevitably follow on this thread. I would say that my opinions are pretty much inline with what as said in the video.

I do OC when I go out west to my folks, so do alot of people, including my dad with a slung 30-30 that he is quite fond of. It is not unusual to see someone walk into the feed store or Dick's place in Lawrence with a rifle, shotgun, or pistol being carried, for no other reason than they didn't want to leave it unsecured in a vehicle. I used to OC in my vehicle around Lincoln and on road trips, but I do not need to anymore.

FarmerRick:
In an urban setting, I agree to a point with them.  It is less likely to draw attention of those around you.

In a rural setting, or even just outside or Obamaha and "Stink'n Lincoln", I will open carry a majority of the time and see others that do the same too.

Lorimor:
Don't OC in Columbus!  You will become THE focus of attention as has been guaranteed by the Chief o' Police.
