Open Carry vs Concealed Carry

[Walkeraviator]

I dont know if anyone here is registered over at opencarry.org, but it is a wonderful sight that can be a great asset when learning laws pertaining to your area regarding open carry.  The one downside is the few real anarchists that are on that sight.  They spend a lot of time cop bashing which fires me up.  But if you can learn to avoid them, then the knowledge over there is very useful.

That is one of the things that annoys me about the Free State project, (my MAIN beef with them is something else)
But a large portion of the problems for Open Carriers ARE generated by police officers who don't know what they are talking about, or put the Chiefs "Policy" ahead of the written law. The proper answer for a Cop when told "I just saw a guy with a gun on his hip" is, So?

Even better if the cop pointed out.  "And the thought of stealing his wallet was the LAST thing on your mind wasnt it?"

A lot of your posts irritate me. But THAT one is a classic

I say we start a new carry movement and call it the FREE-CARRY, or FREEDOM-CARRY movement, as in "your free to carry as you see fit".

Haz, To quote Andrew Jackson, "It's a damned small mind that can only find one way to spell a word."
He didn't learn to read till AFTER he was in the White House, his wife had to teach him. He was the one who came up with "OK", It's his own shorthand for ALL CORRECT, or as he probably wrote "ol korekt"

At the same time English is our language and words mean things.  Is too the same as to or two?

If I'm typing it it might be. No spell check in the world will keep me straight on that one.  
Teddy Roosevelt was a great believer in a fad of "simplified spelling" that was popular at the turn of the Century, That was when we lost the English R in Armour, and switched the E for an A in grey. He even ordered that all govt. documents use "Simplified spelling" but it didn't work out and was allowed to fade away.

Thank goodness!  I am FAR from being a William F. Buckley but I do try.  Ours is one of the last 'live' languages in my estimation.  All others do not have 'new' words they combine things (e.g. electric torch)
