(597 posts)Good thing there's more on DU than just those topics.
But I can say that I as a gun owner and ccw holder have also felt uncomfortable around some of my fellow gun owners who improperly carry their guns.
Let me explain. Not using a gun pocket/purse holster/cover to prevent an negligent discharge. (Remember most personal defense handguns don't have external safetys) (the Cumberland count sheriff in charge of the jail almost killed himself when his backup gun (a revolver) placed in a bag had an ink pen thru the trigger guard and fired a round.
Also I'm not a fan of open Cary personally because of the potential for acting people. Yeah I said that. While open city is legal I do know that for people unfamiliar with the law or just an aversion to guns it paralyzes and communication and sharing of ideas between people or interaction.
So yeah open carry legal. But outside of certain circumstances I personally don't do it. (I have ccw and even now there are actually a lot places I can carry that I don't) but yes late night on the road at a gas station you can bet in armed and it will be concealed.
