Seeing how its still a very rare sight to see I think I have seen maybe 3 outside of Open Carry events? How many times have you saw an open carrier outside of events?
I have seen exactly 4 open carriers. Being that I open carry from time to time, I took note of where I saw it and what type of firearm was carried.
Sports Academy...............Revolver
QT.................................Semi-Auto
Outdoor flea market.........Semi-Auto
City park.........................Revolver
No link that others might see too?I haven't been to OK in years but while watching Rea Drummond's "The Pioneer Woman" on the Cooking channel, they filmed one man OCing. I couldn't tell what kind of gun, but it appeared to be a semi automatic in a belt holster on his right hip. Took a while for my wife to see it. This show is filmed at their home/ranch in northeast OK. The Drummond family is one of the largest landowners in the US.
Found it: Rancher's Dinner (1 Oct. 2011)
I've only seen 1. For the VA folks he was at the gas station on the corner of Broad and Belvidere at about 3am. Seemed like his gf was the cashier. He was a dark skinned fella.
That's confusing.In the just over two years during which open carry has been legal in Oklahoma, I have seen 2, yes, two, individuals openly carrying: One at the Home Depot and the firearm was small and easily missed. The other was the proprietor of his own store, in his store, which IMHO, doesn't really count.
On the other hand, I have stopped patronizing five businesses where I was a regular customer because they just could't sleep at night until they put up "No Open Carry" signs.:bang head:
In the interest of full disclosure: I do not open carry. It's simply my preference. I do support all forms of legal carry and stand with those who do carry openly by avoiding businesses that prohibit the practice.

OC is your "preference", but you do not OC? Please elaborate.
It could be the State that I live in (Washington), but I see OC people all the time. Saw one just yesterday when I was out and about on my daily parade. It just is not uncommon here.
Now do not think everyone you see in Washington is armed, but we are creeping up on a half million CPLs.
In the last 2 years, I have been all over the state and have seen 6, besides myself
If you grab the bull by the horns........you'll generally get its attention.You know what I truly find amazing is when Open Carry was up for passage there was a big push even pop up groups that supported it. Not to say that people dont support it now but fast forward 2 years and the groups are dead. There are a few still struggling to make it but for the most part its dead. I truly thought that Open Carry would have become bigger faster then it did but oddly it did not. Now you see the occasional O.C. but very rarely and all those groups are all but gone. I did see where a few people tried to even get open carry dinners together and it would spark huge interest on here and other websites but unfortunately the numbers were not there in person.
I wish there was more interest in it but its still early on.

I've seen nearly dozen over the last few years - but I get out during the day more than most of you fellers.
Also have lots and lots of CCers that want me to know that they are carrying too - yep give them the OC sales pitch and invite them here if there is the opportunity.
Maybe it's just my animal magnetism at work :lol:
