I carry everywhere too. Some people still think the earth is flat, what people think we can't control.

I still get talked to a lot it opens the door for education and conversation, but the only way to normalize open carry is to open carry.

I carry every where I go that I can legally, 99% of the time I am OC. So far this year I have OCed in 7 different states, WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, AZ, and NV. I OC for myself as a freeman not to impress anyone, because of that I dont care what others think.

I am curious as to how many other people actually OC everyday everywhere they go. I am not talking about down to the gas station and back once a week but truely where ever their business takes them on a daily basis.

Correct. I work for "the man", i.e. a large national chain retail store that sells office supplies. I can't carry at work. But when I get in the car, I slide the paddle holster on and carry. Other than that I carry everywhere I go, every store, church, friends homes, a wedding recently, etc...

I carry everywhere I am legally allowed to. I don't carry at work because I like my job and the large national auto retailer I work for won't let me. Otherwise my 1911 is on my hip.

The exception to this is if I am going to have an adult beverage, then the gun stays home.

lol a wedding? Gogo you got some balls.

I went to a relatives b-day party today and left the gun in my car. My uncle has like 6 guns, so I figure I can leave mine in the car. Plus he lives out in the middle of nowhere. I also don't OC at my friends a whole ton just because I like the comfortability of no gun on. I haven't OCed at church. I know the majority of my church friends find it awkward. I am just not at a comfort level where I can OC it everywhere. I "carry" pretty much everywhere. Even at work I CCed.

I carry everywhere it's legal. I carry at home and to work and lock it in my vehicle( my work doesn't allow firearms on company property) and when I leave work my 1911 gets reunited with me and my holster.
I OC as much as possible but the colder it gets the more i CC.

I used to work part time for one of those "large auto retailer's" too. Either we worked for the same company or they have the same rules. I just carried a smaller gun. A Kel-Tec P3-AT fits nicely in a pocket and a Galco pockt holster keeps it from printing very nicely. For even "deeper" cover you can hang it around your neck on a lanyard, inside your shirt.

Now that I have retired (again) I can just walk through the front door, OC'ing. Just can't get the employee discount anymore.
