To start off, I've been following this Open Carry for awhile and really support it. A friend and I decided to give it a shot. We both grew up around guns and hunting so we know how to safely handle firearms. I'm 19 and just got a Smith and Wesson M&P40 mainly for Backpacking and hiking and also to TRY OC out. I don't have to much support from my family. I just got the gun today and ever since I've been getting phone calls from family members cursing me out and saying I'm going to get shot or arrested on site by police. They keep threatening me saying they will call the cops to come out and tell me it's illegal. My mom has a sheriff friend and he said it's illegal in sparks/Reno Nevada which I know it's not. I know there's places that it's not allowed and I've been reading the laws and feel comfortable on knowing them. So, I'm posting this to get any advice you guys may have for me. I really don't know how to explain it to my family since they won't let me talk or twist my words around. I just need some help here. Any help would be APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks, TyNV
