We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Gold star open carry state vs. open carry friendly state
- Thread starter self preservation
- Start date
Gold star = the laws of the state do not note a stance against open carry or that right is specifically protected by statute.
Open carry friendly = OC generally accepted, may require a permit. There also may be other special conditions/restrictions i.e. no OC in bars, banks, municipal buildings, etc. It is the preponderance of these that may keep a state out of the Gold Star category.
Equally important is the reaction of LEA and the courts.
We have no states that have gone "platinum" - allow OC virtually everywhere by LAC.
