Okay, I’m not a "Regular" on this board, but I do open carry on occasion and I have been to a few open carry dinners. Feel free to flame me if you must, but I have to voice an opinion I have had for some time. I hope no one takes this personal. It is not an attack on any single individual, just an overall point of view.
I think there needs to be anenforced (or at least encouraged) dress code at the open carry dinners.
Maybe something like:
No ripped, torn, or dirtyjeans, (maybe no jeans at all), a collard shirt (no t-shirts),personal defensehandguns in a nice leather or kydex holster, no 10 inchbarrels in a POS uncle mikes cloth holster. I mean, if you can afford a pistol, you can afford a cheap nice looking leather or kydexholster, right?
I have seen many "Tacti-cool" folks at the open carry dinners, and I think that while they are not "bad" or "scary" people,that what isperceived by other patrons, and I think it makes us look bad as a group.
What others perceive is the limit of what we willachieve.

P.S. If its not too much, I would ask that all flames sent my way have an alternate opinion, and done so in a respectful manor, and I will answer in turn.
