In NH open carry is what you do if you are to cheap to spend $10 for a 4year CC permit. Any one who can legally possess a firearm may open carry a loaded pistol. CCW's are so easy to get that while we SHOULD to emphasize our civil rights, nobody bothers.

NC has an "open carry statute", however its a catch 22 due to another statute, "brandishing to the terror of the public", somehow an anti gun member of our state got this one on the books and makes the venerable "gray area".

So, CCW is much easier and my choice, unless I'm out camping, hiking, etc,...

In the Uwharrie National Forest, where I usually go, the General Store in Eldorado, not even a 1 horse town, most of the locals, openly carry, or have the 12 gauge on the rack in the pick-up. Very polite town, and the crime rate is zero percent.

New Mexico has open carry and CCW.  No permits needed to purchase, own firearms or ammo.  It is rare to see someone with sidearm and it does not cause any problems.  Maybe in Albuquerque or Santa Fe with the large influx of people from the west and east coast, might have problems with open carry.

$10! That is amazing. In my neck of the woods it costs $50 for the permit + $50-$75 for the training class...... and that is only because we have a grass roots organization that has pressured it down from $100.

I am 100% for concealed carry - PERIOD!

I am 100% for open carry provided the person carrying uses good judgement.  We must live with the society norms we are dealt today, and discretion must be used to respect the feelings of others.




Right on. I agree. Good Judgement is key. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same idea as to what Good Judgement is.

You're right there...Poor judgement by those who don't deserve the power they so carelessly wield is why this country is up crap-creek now.

In the woods/ wilds   I am all for open carry.   Other wise, I don't like it... far to many people out there are OCing strickly becuase they know it will bother others, they want that confrontation.

Yeah, yeah I know, you would never do it, but far to many people out there do.( hell goto places like THR, very common.)

I also beleave it can make you a target.  the last thing I want on my back is a target.

I agree that CCW is the best way - it keeps folks guessing and the chances of me becoming a target are lessened. CO. has both open carry and CCW but some Mayors ie: Denver mayor chickenpooper (Dem) make it questionable to even CCW in certain areas of den. with catch 22 laws - I prefer CCW!

Albuquerque and Santa Fe are starting to exhibit some of the same attitudes as Denver.
