Yeah, the guy from Houma jstokes I think. Same guy who claimed he was arrested, had his gun confiscated, then called someone from the back of the cop car who had enough pull to get him and his possessions released.

Point being, this is far from some guy carrying his shitty pistol in a nylon holster.
It's still the same message they're trying to send.
Whether it's pistols in holsters or slung rifles, it's still OC.

Well, I'm for the open carry of rifles. That would be one uncomfortable-ass IWB.
I'm with ya, Jack. Time and place for everything...
We just had a "concealed means concealed" thread, I don't think you want those problems.
Nope, not so much. And "Dusters" just aren't as popular as they used to be....
Someone open carrying isn't necessarily trying to send a message. I think that generalization is wrong. I think there is a big difference between this and someone who is 20 and can't get a permit yet open carrying as a means of self defense. I don't remeber many people on this site ever being for open carrying rifles, even the local guys are against it.
Jack, not all people open carrying handguns are trying to send a message. However, a message gets sent. Sometimes it's "look at me, I have a gun and I can legally carry it." Sometimes it's "I have a gun, don't mess with me." Messages get sent sometimes when they aren't intended to be sent. People see things and interpret things differently. When I see someone open carrying a handgun in a holster that has no retention and the person looks like they are not physically able to defend themselves against a gun grab, they send a message.
Look, you guys can OC all y'all want. It's legal. However, I have an issue with untrained individuals running around with guns in poor holsters. Not only am I concerned of their ability to deploy and safely use a firearm, I am also concerned about their ability to properly defend and retain their firearm if the need to do so arises. I feel they same way no matter who it is, LE or not.

So what if the, as you say; improperly retained OC weapon gets taken away in a tussle with a bad guy? I read that statistics show the same happens with CC weapons relative to the disparity of CC vs OC. By this logic you should be as impassioned about people with improper CC gear?!?
If you're going to do it, do it right.

Therein lies the rub! There are so many people pontificating about what the right way is, people are being told bad info and paying for it.
I also heard that some retention holsters have actually been the cause of the death of the person CC'ing and defending. Remember the 3 second rule in a deadly encounter.
Barcadia. An adult chuckie cheese. I live near the northgates st so im exited about some late night video arcade action right by the house.
For Gen X'ers apparently.
