1st day of constitutional carry

[TwoForFlinching]

There's an old rancher that I see once or twice a month at the walmart in central Lawton. Drives a pretty well beat up mid-80's Dodge Ram dually, always has his hat and plaid long sleeve shirt on, and a full gun rig for a very old SAA slung across his hip. Dude has to be in his late 70's.

I went to Best Buy and Home Depot yesterday. Didn't see any open carry.

Here's the thing... if you see someone open carrying today, that doesn't mean they don't have a license and weren't open carrying in October.

I'd think you'd have to see a lot more carrying than you are used to seeing, or see someone carrying a rifle or something that was illegal on 10/31. Seeing one or two here and there doesn't really tell you anything about whether the law has made a difference or not.

As far as "open" carry, since the new law allows concealed carry without a permit, how many are carrying concealed instead of open?

While I'm not against open carry, it would be a rare event when I were to practice that myself, probably only when on my own property or when hunting...

...and I do my hunting with a camera.

You should probably conceal carry your camera because you're just asking to have it stolen.

Dang!!!! All of them?

Right now, I'm down to two cameras, but since I gave one away, the wife has promised to buy me another full frame body. When that happens, I'll be back to three, plus all the lenses.

God bless him.

I did see a fella open carrying a Hi Point in a kydex rig yesterday. True story....

That poor soul. You should have went up and gave them a hug.

Maybe you are only referring to "MF'ers" in your comment, but I know lots of folks that don't own firearms, let alone 3 or more.

You sound like a fellow that knows the definition of hyperbole; even though you know gunless okies. for that matter, I thought you don’t even live in this state anymore?

I had to drive through puddles of blood on the way into WM.
