Even I follow the same approach. I think it is the best way to deal itJohn Canuck said:I wouldn't have said anything to him, but that's just me. I tend to not concern myself too much with other people unless they are impacting me. I'm not worried about losing any rights in SC, because we don't have any. As long as a permission slip is required to carry a gun at all, it's a privilege. I'll do it until we can get the folks in Columbia to give us the right back.
I doubt that anyone who doesn't carry a gun noticed. I've carried guns openly in all kinds of environments and haven't caused a riot yet. Once, I was spying on an anti-gun rally at the Virginia Capital. The lady standing beside me was cheering some nonsense car dvd players a speaker was saying and I said to her "You don't like guns much do you?" She said "I hate them!" I kind of chuckled at how soiled her undies would have been had she just looked down at my hip. Visible to all were (1) 1911 cocked and locked, (2) fully loaded magazines, (1) Gerber knife clipped to my pocket. As near as I could tell by their reactions, not a single anti-gun terrorist noticed I was OC'ing a gun, magazines and a knife.
Shhh... they also didn't know I was recording them either

Maybe the guy wanted everyone to know he had a gun. Being an obvious "gun guy" is the next best thing when you live in a state that outlaws Open Carry.

Personally, I prefer concealed carrying in most public situations. I feel like in a scenario of a business being robbed that I'm in, an openly displayed weapon would just get me disarmed or killed. I know some folks prefer open carry, its just my personal preference to stay discreet. Unless we're talking Israeli standards and can get authorization to carry ARs around :mrgreen:
I do like open carrying when I'm hiking so the big revolver I'm carrying isn't just chafing getting hung up on my pack.
