Sir are you allowed?....

I am new to this website but I have been open carrying for quite some time now. Here is a situation I ran into that I thought was pretty funny.

I was out with the wife and some of her friends at bingo, (yes she dragged me) and one of the employees came up leaned over to me and whispered are you allowed to carry your gun in here. I smiled real big leaned closer to him and whispered yep. When I said that he stood up and said some of his customers were worried and had asked him about it. This is funny and sad.

More Alaskans should carry openly and often to get rid of this stigma of people with guns is scary. If your a gun owner and you prefer to carry concealed and you see a gun owner carrying openly, please acknowledge them some how to let us know that you support us exercising our right. I know I don't carry openly all the time due to family and places I go but I think if more of us openly supported one another we would change a lot of peoples minds about carrying openly. Especially the bystanders.

I now open carry probably 90% of the time and so far have not been asked about it. I live on the east side of town so most of my shopping and what not tends to be over there. I'm in Freddy's quite often and I'm pretty much convinced most people are just totally unaware of their surroundings and don't even notice I have pistol on my hip. I open carry to work every day and fortunately my boss has no problem with it. I do lock it up when I need to visit our clients businesses but that's only because I don't want to take the chance of loosing a client that may have issues.

Depending on the type of business, that is what a sport coat is for

I figure if a client asks if I would like to take off my coat, I can make up an excuse about being a little cold

Pigs don't sweat. That is why they wallow in the mud, to keep cool. In reality a pig is a very clean animal if in a controled climate where they can keep cool. :lol:

Sure they do, especially when you get them over the wood-firedrotisserie! the warm smoke condenses on their cold skin and drips off into the grease pan.

Not a sport coat type of guy.. I'm probably going to get more compact pistol to wear in situations like that, something that's a bit easier to conceal under my waist band when it gets warm in the summer. I figure it's a good reason to pick up another pistol anyway. Only problem is I have to wait until I can buy two because my wife wont let me buy another gun unless I buy her one also,, lol.. Not a bad problem to have actually...

hmm,, roast pig,, I'm hungry now..
