olympia wa
Today I opened carried for my first time with 2 good incidents (not with the police).
I walked around downtown olympia with my friend carrying my mossburg 500 20 inch barrel with pistol grip. Wes parked by fishtail ale and proceeded down to capital lake where we did a ap around with only people taking a second look or not even noticeing. We then walked down 4th ave where a street kid yelled "**** yea prepairing for the zombie apocolypse!" Made me laugh. Then we walked up through sylvester park where we were meeting another friend. No one was in a panic or seemed too care. All in all a good experience. I will deffinatly be doing it again soon

Please read the Forum Rules

14) LONG GUN CARRY IS OFF-TOPIC: This web site is focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life. [highlight]We do NOT promote the carry of long guns.[/highlight] Long guns are great! OCDO co-founders John & Mike and most of the members of this forum own at least one long gun - but due to urban area issues of muzzle control, lack of trigger guard coverage, and the fact that the long gun carry issue distracts from our main mission to promote the open carry of handguns in daily life, we will leave long gun carry activism in the capable hands of the future founders of web sites about long gun carry. Exception: This rule does NOT apply to discussions about long gun carry in jurisdictions such as California which ban handgun carry and thus require long gun carry as a matter of public policy.
