[QUOTE="Bullbuster, post: 1008966, member: 10474"] I just can't get over how crazy some people can get over the mention of the word gun. What's even worse is how bent outa shape gun owners get over the mention of Open Carry. I could post a novel of quotes and replies to some of the ramblings I have read here and I have read every post in this topic. It would just beat a dead horse. My 2 cents. I spent the last 5 years living in the BIGGEST OC state of Virginia. With groups like the VCDL and sites like ocdo.org (open carry gun forum) the sky is the limit as to what they can do and have done to make an impact on the gun rights of Virginians. If we had such a prolific voice the sky could be the limit here in OK as to what gun rights laws could be passed for the betterment of all and not ones way of thinking OC shouldn't be an elected officials choice for us. That right is in black and white in the 2nd amendment in the right to bear arms. That right shouldn't be restricted as to the caliber, means of carry, or a permit for that matter. OC is a good thing and should be allowed for all law abiding citizens who want the option for themselves to do so. I suggest those that feel that OC is the Anti-gun Christ spend some time reading the first hand accounts of everyday OCers and the videos of OC rallies and family oriented picnics. Many of which I had attended with my wife and kids. I OC'd every day I could and I also CC'd when it warranted it, mainly in bad weather. NOT ONCE did I ever encounter someone even attempting to disarm me or mention the idea. Sure I was asked all the time why I carried, usually by kids and it made for a good time to talk gun safety, and you'd be amazed at the reaction I got from 98% of the people it was an eye opening experience for them on gun laws and the RTKBA. Well the other 2% was an anti making a stink as they do best. I was involved in several police encounters and again NOT ONCE was I ever detained or harassed. Questioned yes but only in relation to the encounter NONE OF WHICH WAS FOR MY OCing.
