So I woke up this AM with egg on my face, I could not fathom my state would vote for a socialist/communist. I was wrong. That being said it is what it is, time to take action. I spent 6 years in the Marine's (Infantry) and was in the first gulf war I have never been beat, beat up but not beat. All of this out of way here are some thoughts I had and I will keep this on topic of open carry.
1. If you are a smoker stop. Cigarettes cost around 3 bucks a pack. I know I am a smoker. That's 3 bucks that could go to purchasing a firearm to open carry along with ammunition. Another upside is this is less tax revenue going to the state. I dont think we need to discuss health benefits.
2. Exercise start small go for walks in the evenings (open carrying of course) build up to jogs ect.
3. Cut any and all unnecessary spending ie soda, alcohol ect. Money that I spend on cigarettes, beer and soda per month I could have purchased a new XDM for open carry. I am really coveting that pistol.
4. Open source like open carry is your friend, look into it there are some great projects out there Trucrypt being one of them. http://www.truecrypt.org/. Open source software is free so that we can save resources to purchase guns and ammo for open carry.
5. Keep a low profile while open carrying. Please don't read this as hiding, Take it as staying off the skyline when on patrol when you are on the skyline you have made yourself a target. Dont be a target.
6. Be active and vigilant watch for legislation that can be used to restrict liberties and freedom then hammer your representative. Situational awareness for open carry following proposed legislation will help with this.
7. Nothing like doing a little side work for cash to purchase ammo for open carry. Cash is king.
Any one have any thoughts on this?
