When I read all these stories about people legally open carrying, then being arrested or disarmed, I'm dumbfounded, the very right you're exercising is the right they're depriving you of.

many different things to think about here.

If we're arming against a tyrannical government, would you give up your weapon to them?

Do you find it legal in any sense, if the very reason you're being detained or arrested is for exercising your 2nd amendment right, and they're depriving you of that right simply for exercising it?

An LEO represents the government, they don't have a right to disarm you for no reason, no reason being that you're carrying openly, you're right to do such a thing.

When an LEO asks why are you carrying, most people say for self defense, or i'm exercising my right etc, why couldn't you say i'm armed to prevent you from disarming me. What a conundrum!

Try it and let us know how it works out for you.

It is a rare that anybody has trouble oc'ing. Given how new the idea of oc'ing is in this state it comes as no surprize to me that we have some trouble, it will take this state some time to get use to it. Truth be told there are people carrying everyday in this state that have not trouble at all. If we keep educating the public and LEO every chance we get it won't take long and this state will think nothing of seeing an oc'er.
