Just to add...this is what is say about LA on the main page of this site.


"Louisiana is a traditional open carry state. They have complete state preemption of firearms laws with the exception that laws in place prior to the passage of preemption are allowed to remain in place."

well some kid,its what we teach in conceal carry classes...In La. the state says its cool,but in the city you live in local law over rides state laws....Just like bars closing at 2 am,we have a couple lil parishes that stay open after hours or all night....2 miles out the city limit....

Ive attended several seminars as well as instructor courses and most of them agree that its best to conceal if legal,if its open carry and i do not have a permit, i dam well promise you i w/have a gun on my side....
One of the things we go over with time and time in class is when and where you cannot carry..What the sighn looks like ,ect..Permit holders should know where they can and cannot carry..In La we cannot carry in church,police stations,Any political housing or offices,or any class A establishments...We can carry in the restraunt side of the biz but not the bar if there is one...But we can carry in casinos and banks and alot of other places,theres not many places we cannot carry.......

Example...your in a restroom and someones in front robbing the place,you walk out w/a paper and a six pack,robber sees you and sees your gog leg hanging on your side..Chances are good you get shot real quick if this guys got the gonads to pull the trigger and is a killer...especially if your between him and the exit....If you have it concealed he w/most likely make you hit the ground like the others,..

Theres a thousand differant scenarios to consider in a situation like that....I do agree w/you if its a lil differant and there are 3-4 people w/open carry on the hip he w/be a dummy to break out his peice......

Its every ameriicans right and DUTY to protect himself and his family....How many times have i had women who take my Beginner class or Intro class to firearms[first time gun owners] and tell me i cant hurt a snail,ill never be able to shoot anyone..I say a huhhhh,kinda look around then i ask,Do you have any kids? well yes ,ive got a beautiful lil 3 yr old daughter,,,,Well,w/you not shoot someone if they were trying to hurt your daughter or husband,or trying to rape you and your daughter,,Then all of a sudden there eyes light up and they are ready and serious about learning to protect themselves....
Usually they come in and want to take the conceal/carry after that and after having fun shooting for the first time...Husbands normally cannot teach there wives,and have someone else teach them to shoot..lol.........

Please do not think im a anti OC person,,Thats not even close to the real coonass that i am...

ps..Ive got 8 post now,almost 10,lol.....

Thanks
Thats all very nice and good. However, I don't care one bit what your concealed class instructor said he feels is a good idea. Nor do I care at all what some seminar talker thinks. I care even less about your strawman scenario. The question is can you show me an example of your worst fear coming true, or is it just fear-mongering and a flaccid attempt to brow beat us into carrying concealed, because by your logic it is the smart thing?

You are at a forum about open-carry. Bring me some substance to back up your belief that OC is dangerous, and toss your frightening timid fears away. There are more than a few states where OC is legal, and someone carries openly every day. Surely you can find ONE example of someone who OC'ed getting nailed solely becuase he OC'ed if OCing is such a bad idea.

It's certainly legal to do so. I personally prefer CC because I usually have my gun on me at all times. Read into that what you will. Also if someone walks in where you are with ill intent you are goign to be the first person they take down since they see you pose the most immediate threat to stop them.
that is complete hogwash. if this was true ,a lot more cops would be getting attacked as would the people OCing.trust me,it would be all over the news if it was happening.
