Over the past months, I've become much more comfortable open carrying.
Something I recently discovered is that El Paso County parks (which includes all of Colorado Springs) have a "no open-carry policy" that isn't posted. So, I've been asked to leave the park by not-so-nice plain clothes officers. Since then, I've looked into the law and wrote a formal letter to the El Paso County Park Director, asking him to make an exception for me specifically. Interestingly enough, there is a clause stating he is allowed to do this at his own discretion. Though, I got a very short reply that, summed up, was a "no". All the same, I plan on continuing to open carry on the occasions I visit any local park; I simply risk being asked to leave.
I'm 18 and in the same boat, kinda sucks at times
However in Wisconsin there are still issues with OC so it makes it a pain for vehicles. I still do what we call the dance. Unload, encase, put out of reach.
Wis. Stats. § 167.31(2)(b):
(b) Except as provided in sub. (4), no person may place, possess, or transport a firearm, bow, or crossbow in or on a vehicle, unless one of the following applies:
1. The firearm is unloaded or is a handgun.
If I do not have a CCW license how do I transport weapons in a vehicle?
A. Handguns
The law now allows a person to do the following without a CCW permit:
• place, possess, or transport a handgun in a vehicle without being unloaded or encased. Wis. Stats. § 167.31(2)(b).
• load a handgun in a vehicle. Wis. Stats. § 167.31(2)(c).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Persons who do not have a CCW license may still not carry weapons concealed. In a vehicle this means that the firearm cannot be hidden or concealed and within reach.
