Live in the Hickory area and carry open 99% of the time. In the time I have been carrying about 2 years as I have been out of state I have NEVER seen anybody other than me carry open? Just wondering if I'm the only Open Carry in the area??....Any ideas....Thanks in advance

open carry meeting around Hickory, N.C. area

Fellas I don't drink I'm 45 yr old and would at some point like to grab a burger or lunch and discuss our knowledge of open carry and maybe we can learn from each other? I'm a former combat Marine and hope we can share ideas to educate the general public on our Love for Open Carry.....Keep in touch...rw3al3@embarqmail.com Thanks, Ricky Willis

Been OC'ing around here about 2 yrs. CC a bit more now. My wife is not a fan of OC. But when it's me or me and the kids I generally OC. A local meetup might not be bad. I'm in Longview, technically. FWIW, Mama's Pizza has never had an issue when I OC in there. It's right by Home Depot on 70. Nice to see some local folks OC'ing.

It would be nice to have a meet in hickory. I'm 25, been in the army national guard for 8 years spent some tme in iraq a year ago, also married and have 2 kids, currently unemployed so anytime will work for me. I don't drink either so a burger or pizza would be great.
