    Open carry question

    Now that the open carry law has been passed. I've only seen one open carry so far.

    I have been wondering, what places, restaurants, and etc allow open carry?

    I have looked at the codes at every place I enter, as far as I can see not many places allow open carry.

    I've seen it once myself. I only look for 30.06 signs

      I've never seen anyone open carry yet. I don't blame the business's not letting open carry in their stores. Out of sight out of mind and every is happy = more business. I won't shop where there is a 30-06 sign. They have the right to post it and I have the right to go elsewhere.

        i do it... never had anyone say a word. now, I don't "tuck in my shirt and open carry"... I just don't worry about the FN 5.7 holster hanging below my tshirt 3 inches. never had anyone say a word. but to answer your question, any place that doesn't have a 30.07 sign posted allows it as far as I'm concerned.

          I have seen it one time. 06 or 07 sign I just move on. No big deal.

            I've seen it quit a few times and have open carried a couple of times. I open carry around the house so I don't get sweat on my EDC. If I have to run and get gas I will just leave it on my hip instead of changing holsters.

              I open carry the majority of the time. Most national chains don't ban it from what I can tell. Saltgrass, Longhorn steakhouse, Red Robin, and Whataburger. Those are really the only restaurants I go to, Whataburger announced they wouldn't allow it, but its not posted at any of the ones in town and no one has said anything to me about it. I rarely do the shopping, but Lowes, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart do not ban it. Outside of that I have only seen it posted a handful of places and none of them were places I was going, just places I was walking past to get somewhere else. For the most part no one notices that I open carry, I've had 2 people say something about it over the last 5 months. One was positive, the other just asking if I preferred open over concealed and why. Easy answer, open is comfortable.

                I have open carried a few times (shirt tucked in, OWB holster), but most of the time I have my shirt untucked. i prefer OWB and my shirt only covers about half the holster. I would label it comfortable semi concealed carry! only had one guy at a bait shop say something about it. he was the owner and asked that I cover it up next time due to TABC laws. he said he didnt care, but had to follow the laws. they were really busy, so I didnt bother to explain to him that TABC laws didnt apply unless he made 51% of his money for on site consumption, and I didnt want to inconvienence him by holding up the line. he was polite, just didnt understand the laws. i sure enjoy not having to worry about it showing and being able to carry a full size pistol! only places ive encountered around here that werent posted 30.06 before but posted 30.07 are some resturants and gas stations. none have said a word about the bottom of my holster showing either. i think the majority of people are so unaware of their surroundings that they dont even notice anyone open carrying!

                          I thought I had seen an OC at Canton a while back but she turned around and had a badge on the other side so she was a LEO. Other than that I have not seen one person OC.

                            I open carry sometimes depends on what I'm wearing or doing at the time. I have had a lot of looks and only one person say something to me and that was at wall mart at about 9am store employee followed me around a while then asked me if I was drinking alcohol in my styrofoam cup..
