OC is supposed to be prohibited by local ordinance in the cities of Charleston, Dunbar and South Charleston. I live in South Charleston and spend lots of time inthese threecities. My wife and I have seen a number of persons OCingwithin the city limits of Charleston.I know of a case where a gentlemen waswearing two cowboy type pistols along with cowboy hat, boots etc. He was inside a large mall and was asked to leave the mall by uniformed officers. He was asked to leave the mall because it is private property and mall operators prefer no visible guns in the mall. The officers did not tell the gentleman to disarm after leaving the mall even though all of Charlestonis a no OC locale. My wife observed a lady in a cafe in the middle of town with a very obvious revolver tucked into her waist band. I have observed another lady OC a full size glock in a holster on her belt with no attempt to conceal. None of these three persons were even close to being law enforcement persons. They were obviously every day people. My guess is law enforcement is not interested in pursuing normal people who open carry in town.
