Really?

When I worked at the big fish tank, at least once a month, someone would ask what time the 11:00 dolphin show was.

A rifle will most certainly bring the cops

We are celebrating a hard won victory not antagonizing the legi critters

I'm interested. Can someone share the COMAR that allows this or at least doesn't disallow it? I'm not up on it as far as Marlyand say so or likelihood of being arrested for it despite our Constitution. I've never done an open carry of a loaded weapon as a civilian anywhere so I'm trying to figure out how to get comfortable with the idea. Have gun, will travel.

I'm often in favor of not doing open-carry just to antagonize or cause a scene but I support open carry. If it was common I would not mind it as much but lean toward concealed as preferred since I think it could draw the wrong kind of attention depending on the situation. I don't have that permit yet.

If your asking about long guns please don’t. However, there is AG opinion saying it’s legal

If you don’t have a permit, you cannot carry legally a handgun

Can't share something that doesn't exist and is therefore legal.

If you can't carry yet no worries, this is more comraderie while OCing than just OCing if that makes sense. A group of us used to always hit up a local food joint before the quarterly MSI meetings, this just continues the tradition post Coof.

That's a shame. Give my best to your lovely bride and Dave Jr.

I could open carry an AR rifle, but with an 8/5 acceptance, it is highly unlikely that I will be able to open carry a handgun.

Bring it. Remember it can not be loaded in your vehicle. Have the mag loaded ready to go.

Thanks guys! Make sense.

Wish I could join y’all, family duties call though. How often do y’all have these?

Why not long guns?

 

[River02]

Why not long guns?

Probably the increased likelihood of drawing negative attention, therefore the increased opportunities for unwarranted confrontations--- but just a SWAG on my part.

And you don't think OC will draw unwanted / negative attention?

 

[swinokur]

Not as much as long guns.

We are celebrating the win in Bruen and the resulting change in MD.

But mostly the tradition of a meal before the MSI meeting

But if you want to revisit the OC of long guns as we did after the AG ruling, no one is stopping you

See you there

Stumble across a YouTube video yesterday kind of on this subject. It was Ken Hackathorn and Massad Ayoob discussing the terrible job the gun community has done selling ourselves to rest of the country. One of there gripes was people going to a town where open carry is legal and marching around the streets with an AR and waiting to be challenged by authorities or other citizens and making a video of it. Their point was 20% of the voting public is us the gun community, 20% hate and want to outlaw guns, leaving 60%+- that we need to get on our side. I think they said most people vote on emotions not facts or rights. In a state like Maryland where the vast majority of voters don't normally see folks open carrying I wonder if it helps or hurts our cause. Thier main point was that the rights we have can easily be taken away in the voting booth. After the way our rights have been shit on here in MD its easy to say its my right to open carry and I am going to do it But is that the best way to influence other voters?
The video is on the Wilson combat channel from about a year ago
