Admit it coonman, you were staring at the bulge in his pants again weren't you. That's why he was glaring back at you.

What kind of idiot would harass someone who is carrying a loaded firearm? yup and they are just that smart. and their making the point that the person who is carrying is even tempered and not prone to the very things they are saying about him or her. you see they think only how they would handle or react and they scare the devil out of them selves with their own stupidity and thus since they can't trust themselves no one should be trusted. but they will be the first one saying someone should have done something about xyz . they forget they are someone and you are someone. so when looking for that magical someone it helps to start by looking in a mirror , that someone should do something because you are only responsible for yourself as are they but they like to forget that because it scares them , they want that magical someone else who is responsible for them because they don't feel they can be responsible for themselves.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That is my opinion , no I never say nothing, say thanks to him ! Ha ha , I don't think so, I.mind my own bussiness, I. Sure I was not only parnoud him , still though , u got have lot nerve. I wouldnt dare carry open, I not going to say what feel like if did, ur set urself up for harresment at least from Law enforcement. At least if was me , doing that, I know I would be harresed , I don't care aslong as he had permit an wasn't going start shoot ppl, include me.i just saying that he has lot nerve Judge much? LOL, you can bet that was one man that does NOT have a felony. Think that through.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever color you are, carry however you can. I prefer concealed except when doing outdoor activities, but I dont shame ANYONE for open carrying.

All depends on what I’m coming from or going to as far as open or concealed. I do know carrying concealed and revealing that I’m carrying stopped two potential bad situations. First one was back when you went two a store to rent movies. My wife and I were the only patrons in there late one night, when two “boys” came in. I noticed he was carrying a weapon stuck down the front of his jeans with no holster. Something just didn’t feel right so I told my wife to just listen to what I say and go to the car. I pretended she was upset because I couldn’t find a movie. One of the boys was watching the door and the other was watching me. The clerk was starting to figure out something wasn’t right as well. I didn’t want to leave her with the two guys just standing around so I picked up a movie and said YES!! I found it!! And lifted my arm real high pretending to show my wife the movie from inside the store. When I did I knew it would expose my weapon. It did and it worked. The guy watching me walked to his buddy and said he’s got a gun let’s go. And they left. I told the young lady to call the police and waited until they showed up. I knew them and the wife had already called one and he pulled up in short order. The boys were caught later that evening attempting to rob a gas station.
The second time I was pumping gas in another town. I was the only one at the pumps and the store. I watched a car with 3 occupants pull up and one get out and go inside. The driver didn’t park but circled the store again and when he pulled back up front there was only him. Something just didn’t feel right so I decided to walk in to get a drink and see what was up. The first guy was huddled in the back of the store pretending to look for something. I walked up to the counter and told the young lady there to call 911 and I’d stay right there until they showed up. I also noticed the driver had pulled around to the side of the building with the car running. I pretended I needed something else and walked back where the guy was still huddled down near the floor. I decided to make sure he saw I was carrying when I walked past and got something off the shelf he was at. It worked. He saw the gun and left in a hurry. The car sped off as soon as he jumped in. And then the cops show up and find the other guy hiding behind the building...his partners hauled butt and left him. I later found out they caught the other two in an attempted robbery...after the one they left behind started talking. To this day they still offer me a free drink whenever I’m in town and stop in.
Sometimes just knowing there could be opposition will turn a “bad guy” off his preplanned objective.
Editing to also say in both situations...none were black or Africans. White boys and Hispanics.

maybe the open carry thing changes from region to region but around here seems they are all just showboatin. Perhaps momma didn't hug them enough. Maybe they need louder pipes on their truck or cycle...dunno
If I was a bad guy, the open carry guy would be my first target. And if you think a real bad guy is nervous about another guy carrying a gun he can see, you don't know many bad guys. They litterally shoot people within feet of armed Police around here. I've seen it many times first hand. They could care less about your guns (or their own lives).
Lots and lots of prison video showing cons disarming people with level 3 holsters. Do you think a level 1 or 2 is any feat for them? It's not!. WE do it at work. It's easy as pie (from behind). There are only a couple minute differences in the carry holsters I see. I'll say they are easier to take a gun from someone from behind them, than wearing them. Again, I've seen vids of it and DONE IT. Remember any persons ""reactionary gap" is almost a solid second. I've got that gun before you can react. Don't believe me? Do it with your buddy's. It''ll change your mind on open carry...and more so what you're ability's aren't.
Now now...most will say " oh you can't get my gun without me knowing it" (theories are great...but far from reality most times)... More than a few dead open carry guys that would disagree to that if they were still breathing....but they are still dead.
SO....like poker, don't show your cards until the dealing is done. If you need attention, buy louder pipes.

When am I concerned to see a guy with a gun?
When it is not in a holster.
Bad guys don't use holsters. They get in the way, and they are additional evidence.

Ya I guess that make sense. Bad guy would not have open carry, I from small town, was in bigger town at edge it, at Kwik star, there tv cameras in store moniter outside. Nice new convience store inside, don't look bad. But at edge big town, bunch motels around. Bad repution in area. I seen beggers bums around nite in past there. Have had blacks come at pickup on charge from several hundreds away, when sit pickuo, with pop or chesp donut snack an have enough nerve to almost rap on window an beg with not understandable language there. In past, I am not a minority lover, call local workforce center other day, no return ph call, to busy with help minority ppl out, they get best everthing it seems, where I work, they get best jobs, easy work, an are generally no good at screw everthing up. An do nothing, just kinds scary, looking at black big semi auto an thinking , what if he pulls out an starts shooting an alot bullets the clip holds. I wonder what like get shot? I rember thinking about it, terrifying , even more scary ,if has gun point at u

It's one thing to disagree with someone, but to make fun of how he communicates is not cool man.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Coonman when the black guy has it pointed at you, that's the time to worry. (High school in the city can be rough. Lol) If the black guy is just carrying it on his side, he's likely on the right team.

Mo has been "Open Carry" since 1821, when we entered the Union. That said you can expect your life to get very exciting anytime you carry into a 7-11 in an urban area. Probably want to leave the ski mask at home.

It is hard to post on android phone. No longer have computer. No it was not in real bad area town, none in iowa, the store was ok, big convience store an on way home I stop there when go, around area on outskirts of town , alot motels, several chesper ones. Knowen to not be good though, as I am sure, lots narcotics an rift raft ppl around, it just seems to me, carry open is begging for trouble, I thought about conceal carry, but doubt would carry on me, leave pickup, law enforcement does not like conceal carry, I have heard an am sure of. I have to much other things that need money for, besides a 9 mm
