    The 9th is just trying to keep that from SCOTUS... But soon enough.

    As far as open carry - not so much. But the local Walmarts are a testament that there are people who do.

    Why, you have seen people in walmart open carrying? I never have, and I do all my grocery shopping there. But I do go early, to avoid the natives.

    I have a few times, more in rural areas. I don't think I'd try it in New Orleans... legal or not I'd rather not make new friends in central lockup... :)

    You're a FED. Figure it out yourself.
    I live in Harvey, and work in Metarie. I open carry on a daily basis. I keep it discrete so that the average joe doesn't notice but still open enough that I'm legal and a officer can distiguish that I'm not trying to conceal. ( dickie type pants, collared polo tucked in with a belt. IWB holster. )

    The one time I went to WalMart here in the Red Stick, I decided to open carry for the hell of it. Wore my Sig P226 in a Safariland ALS holster. Nobody seemed to care.

    Kevin, approx how long have you been OCing? Have u had any negative experiences/interactions, say from other civilians, or LEOs?

    I'm guessing that the same restricted places for CHP, apply for open carry. Or are there any restrictive differences?

    I started getting over the nervousness and OC'ing about a year ago. For the most part, the general population I've noticed, doesn't pay attention to their surroundings enough to notice. The few that do, will usually, give me a dirty look, give a respectful head-nod of acknowledgment or ask me if I'm a cop. Around LEO, when they notice, they make a point to say hello, and if they have time, will try to make small talk, I'm guessing to feel out what kind of guy is carrying a pistol in their presence, which I perfectly understand. (I've met some really great people this way). I use the Laws and rules for CC as far as where I do/don't carry. I try to go by, if you can't conceal, then you surely can't open carry.

    I shop often at WalMart in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs, and I've seen several guys open carrying. I've been thinking about doing it myself, especially since getting a concealed carry permit would cost almost $300 (including training class). I'm living on Social Security, so that's way too expensive.

    What's the Mexican Carry? Never heard of it.
