My brother is convinced beyond all that is sound and good in this world (He is a LEO and is sincerly concerned about me) that open carry is not wise because I won't be able to go ANYWHERE or do ANYTHING without being hassled, interrigated, and confronted by people and police. I told him that it isn't as bad as he thinks, and that there are testimonies on this forum that seem to indicate that open carry isn't as big a deal as he is making it out to be. He then speculated that because this is a pro open carry site, that any stories of being hassled could easily be edited and taken off the site to appear as if open carry is OK. I assured him that is not the case. He still remains skeptical of opencarry.org testimonies and open carry in general. He understands that it is a right, but he doesn't understand why I would- quote: "want to attract so much unessecary attention to myself". So I am going to ask you all straight and hard. Can you step out the door without getting bombarded with people freaking out? Do you get hassled mulitple times on a daily basis, either by LEO or sheeple? Weekly? Let's keep in mind that while I am young (22), I will still dress accordingly and neatly (pretty much like I do anyway). Any testimony will be great, but I am extremly interested in college age folk. To all you OC vetrans, please type out your opinion as well. You have the experience and knowledge to refute what folks like him say. To all the OC newbies like me (still waiting on my gun), what happens when you OC? While he probably won't except any of your testimonies, I can at least assure myself that I won't be walking into a political warzone when I OC. Thanks
