would you oppose Open-Carry laws? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Would you ...

...whether you open carry or not...

...politically oppose measures to enact/maintain it?

I understand the 'tactical' view against it, maybe the 'societal fear' of it, not wanting to get the dirty looks, for doing it personally, but would you support laws preventing it, or repealing current OC laws?

would not oppose laws to make open carry legal

Tally XD · 07-05-2008, 11:11 AM

I am not vote against or oppose open carry, but I do not campaign for it nor would I participate in open carry.

**eric_t12** · 07-05-2008, 11:18 AM

yes is for the opposing vote, you would vote against oc laws.

i think no is the right answer for you AG

you see.. im only a corpal.. dont have the smarts of a sarge yet..

I am the "unsure" vote. I would like to see some other changes (like tightening up keeping crazy folk from getting guns) before OC. Its just a matter of priorities, though...philosophically I am not opposed to OC.

As an LEO, I actually do OC on my way to and from work...I often stop at the store or gas station and you would be amazed how many people don't even notice the gun on my hip.

I have never considered which carry option would be better, but in my opinion some situations would favor OPEN some Concealed.

**leper** · 07-05-2008, 03:47 PM

I don't oppose open carry, I just prefer concealed.

ducttape2 · 07-05-2008, 03:54 PM

I am in favor of open carry. However, I generally think that concealed is better from a tactical perspective.

This weekend I am going open carry in support of national open carry weekend.
