56 1/2 here. Being from Illinois , I've never carried in town but have carried openly out in the fields and woods in the country since I was old enough to buy my first handgun.

I do openly carry on my property and around the house though .

27, started off and on open carry maybe a year ago.

Was raised around guns, hunting etc... so I've had a firearm of some sort for as long as I can remember. Trying to do the same for my 2 sons. The oldest, 6, is interested so I just started him on a bb gun. Thinking it's time to break out my old JC Higgins .22 and drag him to the range or out in the woods.

I'm 52, my father was a U.S. Marine, so I was taught how to shoot at a very early age. His motto was 1 shot, 1 kill, you may not get another. I started open carrying 5 years ago when I found out that I could.
