So what do you guys and gals think of the CZ52 in 7.62x25mm for open carry? I really, REALLY want to start open carrying, but I'm not rich enough to go out and buy a nice high end pistol and a case of high end defensive ammo. You see CZ52s for like $250-300 on Gunbroker, and a case of surplus FMJ ammo works out to half of what a case of new production FMJ 9mm or 45 costs. Am I just asking for trouble by carrying such a small caliber? Is there any good defensive ammo in the 7.62x25mm caliber?
BTW: I'm in California, where our only option is unloaded open carry. So the mags would have to be in a separate pouch on my belt anyways. Bummer. But the reason I want to OC is more to educate people than anything else. Obviously there's not much of a defensive advantage to be gained by openly carrying an unloaded gun. I just want to educate people on their rights and let the general public know, YES YOU CAN carry a gun :exclaim::exclaim:
