Where will you open carry, if anywhere?

[ERPA]

You should go with the hopalong double rig it will look better on your road king. I think I'm gonna go with 2 ivory handled cap and ball wild bill hickok pistols tucked into a red sash lmao.

 

[DaveTec]

I like the option of being able to switch from a tiny bug front pocket gun to an OWB rig for my full sized M&P40. Leave the shirt untucked, and be damned if the barrel barrel sticks out.

Do you live in town, or out? I thought if you were in the boonies, on your own property, you could carry around whatever you wanted to. Anybody know?

Presently no exception for carrying open for the purpose of personal protection:

My habits really won't change, other than I will carry on my person when riding now, nothing fits under tight riding jackets without riding up and eposing it, and I hate dragging my tank bag around with me everywhere.

I could see where that would apply to someone living within city limits, eg: you wouldn't be hunting with it or target shooting (recreational), but if I'm on my own property outside city limits where I can do those things, I don't see how they could say anything about it. I guess I can't see the difference in carrying a pistol on my belt in the open and carrying around a shotgun hunting for Quail.

So using that logic it is illegal for you to carry your gun to your car. It would also be illegal for all the gun store/range employees to carry openly in the store.

I am not a lawyer and dont even pretend to be one. I do have a right to carry a firearm on my own property. I can not run around pointing it at passers by, or shooting bottle in my backyard in the middle of Tulsa. I can mow my lawn with my gun in a holster.

The examples you cite are "for sporting purposes" which is exactly what I would claim if questioned when walking across a field wearing a handgun openly. Have you seen that coyote?

However, people have been arrested (and convicted) for wearing a gun openly on their own property.
You can argue that should not be so, and I agree.
That's why we need HB3354 passed.

I'll probably open carry while fishing, hiking or camping. I'll carry concealed everywhere else.

 

[03on22s]

I wear a lot of jeans and t shirts. This is my work attire and my norm. I carry IWB in the 6 o'clock position, if the bill passes I'll probably be using my OWB in the 3 o'clock position all the time with my t shirt over it. It would ease my mind when I'm on the bike too.

It used to be allowed to open carry while hunting. Has that changed? Same for fishing and camping.
