When I saw Jenny in a parade, she had no one but her husband anywhere near her. I bet there were MSP guys close by, but I didn't spot any. She was going up to groups of people, smiling and shaking hands. This was in Oak Park.

I actually wouldn't mind doing this since my mother does it every year, and has been pestering me about it. Sadly however, I have promised to help a friend move this week.

Well given the responses maybe it isn't the best of ideas. Just a thought.
You have to do what you think is right, But you wouldn't be breaking any laws. OC across the bridge is legal as long as you meet all the lawful requirements. IF you do OC, I wouldn't walk near the GOV, but that's me.

I suppose that those who plan to attend the Walk could take the"I'd rather be safe than sorry" approach and wear their OC T-Shirts and carry empty holsters...just to see how it works out. :uhoh:

Springer,

Thats what I would do. Gets the word out and no chance of being arrested.

Much less "in your face" kind of act.


WHAT!:what: Wear a T-SHIRT that states open carry is legal, then wear an empty holster, how would that look? I can hear it now...."Hey Buddy, if it's legal why ain't ya doing it?:banghead: Empty holster and the T-shirt is in my mind contraindicated.

An empty holster has it's place...in the legislative chambers where guns are not allowed, a court room, on a campus by students, but not where it IS LEGAL to OC.

Were one or the other but not both.
