Florida Open Carry Just Got Very Real

Hmmm? Open Carry is for Bar B Ques not strolling down the street shopping for Doritos because you just finished a Blunt. Its like waving a swastika flag in front of a WW2 cemetery , legal yes; but inflammatory and certainly distasteful

Do you reeeeeely want folks shopping at Walmart with a AK in the basket.


I might agree with the video if the dredlock scooter guy had the sense to at least put it in a bag

Im actually all for open carry but NOT in THIS culture. Open carry would be fine in a world where people understood responsibility and restraint. Maybe that exists somewhere but not any place Ive ever been. The guys I see open carrying are usually wearing an Uncle Mikes IWB holster OUTSIDE the waistband with the clip on the inside of their sweatpants.
 
While there is no question that long gun trumps short gun the whole “open carry a rifle” thing bothers me. Because you “can” do something that does not mean you “should”. I can see anti gun folks being “shocked” or scared (and couldn’t care less), what bothers me is those who aren’t “anti” but still get rattled over the black guns because of the way they’re portrayed by the media AND the fact that they are widely shown as the “weapon of choice” for mass shooters (rightly or wrongly isn’t the point as perception is in fact reality). Lady friend of ours saw an AR in my vault and said “I don’t think those should be allowed”, same lady wanted to shoot my Mini. I let her and after she’d done so an enjoyed it we had a long talk about how they were the same (semi auto .5.56 rifles). The difference? One was wood and blue steel, the other is black aluminum and plastic BUT they do the exact same thing. Plus, these are not “powerful” and in fact have less power than grandpa’s 30/30 and a whole lot less than daddy’s 12 gauge? She saw the light, but how many similar folks think those “scary black rifles” are more powerful, “machine guns”, etc. and have no one to explain. In addition I am not an open carry fan as To Me that is the same as wearing a “shoot me first” sign if you stumble into trouble at the local stop n rob. Do what makes you feel comfy, but think first.

EXACTLY

Open carry wins you zero points from "gun guys" but loses you everything from antis and granny on the fence types. Plus its like wearing a "SHHOT ME FIRST" sign and a walking gun resupply point.....When society reaches a point of "so what its a gun" OR "hey thats cool what'cha got there?" The opn carry of handguns to beltfeds will be cool. Until then its like gold teeth on a ghetto kid, lots of flash but little substance
