One of the guys that's been here longer than I have needs to make a thread reminding people that the exact same **** happened to OCDO, but despite claims to the contrary, the world did not end. Gun lube did not flow through the streets.

The likes of Charles Cotton made claims that OCDO was to blame for open carry legislation failing to move forward in the past in Texas. They didn't even have to carry long guns, either...

I thought it was cool to open carry, I did it, but I don't do it anymore where it will draw attention.

I realize now that the open carry rules are really not for you to take your rifle into a store, restaurant or place of business. It is so that you can go shooting, hunting or carry your guns to your car without the police arresting you. It is basically for you to do what most normal people do with there guns, not to go scare people with them.

Here in Vegas I can open carry and I have, but I don't do it anymore just to show off. I do it when I am moving my guns around or walking around the deserts shooting. I even leave guns just showing in the hatchback of my car. What I love best about open carry is that I can half conceal my pistol or print with it and because of the open carry rules I can not get in trouble.

What you guys are going to do is have your rights taken away, now you will have to sneak your rifles to your car or whatever. Kind of like what they have in Florida, you can't even print with the concealed carry.

There is no benefit to doing this, so please stop. If you want to promote gun rights then there are probably better ways for people to get into the hobby.

I may not be explaining this the best way here but you probably know what I mean. So stop carrying those rifles in places where people will feel you are robbing them.

We still live in a civilized society and walking around with a rifle just doesn't fit. This isn't the 1700's when you needed to do that.

I'm not in Vegas but you guys here need to contact the people who are going to ruin everything for you and tell them to stop doing it.

Welcome to the forum.

Please read the Forum Rules

See rule #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. We do NOT promote the carry of long guns. 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 and lack of trigger guard coverage, we cannot support long gun open carry."

I'll also ask, with absolutely no offense intended, that you proof read your posts before submitting them. This post contains numerous spelling and grammatical errors, to the point that it's virtually impossible to consider its content.

Thanks. I didn't read it because it was a wall of text with practically no punctuation. That said, I welcome a new guy to the forum and look forward to his future input.

I'm going to stick up for the kid. It takes some time and lots of effort but the is both readable and mostly understandable.

The sad thing is that so few using this style have the talent and verbal skills of James Joyce. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/4300/4300-h/4300-h.htm That being the case most writers using this style get put down as illiterate boobs and drooling morons. I prefer to think of them as struggling to conquer what is perhaps the hardest literary style to pull off successfully and wonder how long they will fight the good fight before giving up and return to using Standard Grammar.

stay safe.

(Some may think they detect snark or sarcasm in the above. The truth is in the mind of the reader.)

Stick around. Sounds like you will be interesting to communicate with.

Open carry of long guns is following the same track as open carry of handguns.

That track is leading to full recognition of second amendment rights.

In the real South, it is referred to as the South, except for those states that have a exceptionally high yankee influence, such as those bordering the Mason Dixon line.
