Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

HELP:
I'mgaining confidence with the boldness of open carry, but doing so at the governor's inauguration, and passing through security with an open side-arm, is a real escalation for me.
My wife and I will be attending the inauguration.It's supposed to be a nice outing for us.My wifewill no doubtquestion my logic if I try to open carry for this; the LAST thing I need is to do it anyway ... ("trust me?!")..., and then get challenged, turned away, or heaven forbid anything worse (arrested by a mis-informed cop??). She's generally supportive of my exercising this right, but this would be a bad spot for me to make a tactical error.
FWIW, I also have a c/c permit. Any of you want to offer some reassurances on my confidence level, here? Any of you meeting up beforehand?

Any security check points will already have confirmed that I am carrying and such is not on their list of not allowed items. Might I have a not too distant baby sitter - possibly, but that's OK too.

Will likely have my coat on hence CCing, but if it warms up the coat will come off.

Forty minutes in line to get to the security check point - empty pockets - beep, beep - offered my CHP, they wanted to know where it was, said on my right hip - show it to me I was told - being just a little miffed at the questions and extra legal requests, I took my coat off - ended all discussion, but got lots of looks. Admitted without further ado, but did get a shadow for the next ten minutes or so.
Question: If cameras, recorders, drinks, food and guns et al are OK, what were they screening for - interesting exercise though.
Nice lady gave me her husband's reserve ticket (he's a Damnocrat) so got to sit in the bleachers - sure did beat standing all that time.
Lots of festivities, bands, horses etc. Lady that sang America was world class.
Now back to work and Lobby Day.

I think this is the singing Daughter. Two of them look like twins.

No wait....they were probably looking for "any object consisting of two or more rigid parts connected in such a manner as to allow them to swing freely."
The permit doesn't allow you to conceal that. :lol:

The first picture is a particularly obnoxious woman behind me in line, who went on at length about how no one should be able to carry a gun openly or otherwise, without a permit.

I don't think there was any additional cost. We missed a drill due to flooding a few months ago, so this weekend some guardsmen came in to make up their drill and launch the jets, and the pilots get their flying hours that they missed that drill.
And appropriately enough, my friend is the one open carrying that fake M16.
