    OC in restaurant, drinking legal?

    imported post If I read the revision to the statute correctly, it prohibits one who carries a concealed handgun from drinking, but does not prohibit an oc'er from drinking. That seems somewhat absurd. I agree with those who feel they should have just repealed the whole thing. And why can cops...

    Brandishing accidently?

    imported post I have been open carrying for I guess a couple of weeks with no problems. However, I carry with an OWB holster on my right hip. My hand will naturally be very near the gun when walking, and may occasionaly brush against it. My concern is that some sheeple may call in a MWAG and...
