Greeting. My name is Allen andim 22.First of all I would just like to say that this place is so cool.:celebrate

I have already posted a few replies without introducing myself...sorry. it would seem that I jumped the gun here.(no pun intended).;)

I live in grand forks north dakota and I have just recently earned my CCW permit, but it seems to me that I am the only OC'r in the area. But I guess all start with just one person.

But anyway thaks for letting me join this fourm.

Welcome to the forum. We'd love to hear your Open Carry stories from ND. Just post in the North Dakota section.

I will bet that open carry is not such a big deal where you live, but just in case, carry a voice recorder if the local PD's "curiosity" about yuo goes overboard.

Best wishes.

Be sure to check the laws about recording police officers in your state before you do that. Do you need consent? Do you need to tell them they're being recorded? Are there special rules for police? Etc.

Welcome! Did you say "earned" your carry permit? I thought the dakotas handed those things out like candy. At any rate I'm nitpicking, sorry. It's just when I see words like "earned" attached to rights... :)

You'll like it here.

See, my arms instructor used to tell me "you must earn the right to carry this piece that way you will not hesitate" I think thats why I say say that. Also I have a Utah permit which requires allot more skill to obtain. On the other hand the state of north Dakota (were i live) only has a ten question test which you can take "open book" Finger printing and picture,and a background check you get your permit. Maybe it's just me but isn't that just a little too easy? Any way thanks being so welcoming. I look forward to talking.......well typing more.
