An interesting way to deal with open carry laws:

9. What are the legal repercussions?

Once I was with a group at a very nice restaurant, the kitchen had a fire and smoke started pouring into the dining room. We left as did everyone else. We stood outside and said goodbye to each other as the fire trucks came and put out the fire. As we turned to leave, the manager came and started yelling at us that we needed to pay for our entire order, even that which we had not received. I never argue over bills and always give a big tip, so I was tempted just to pay. But one of the people I was with argued that not only had our meal been ruined, but we were covered in smoke and very nicely pointed out to just chalk it up to a bad night. I offered to pay for what we had consumed, but the manager was very adamant and threatened to call the police on us. At that point, he was so rude and unsympathetic, we all just turned around and left.

Would a company be able to call the police on you for theft if you walk out having consumed food? Just asking any who may know as this is an excellent idea and needs to happen all over. I also heard people calling the police if you see a gun because who knows if its legal and they should check the registration. That's why they're making laws so the police can't even ask. I may have to show a driver's license, but gun, no way.

I thank God we don't allow open carry where I live. But concealed carry is potentially as dangerous if the weapon is mishandled.
