Thread: How many people CCW here?

It took Oklahoma awhile to get open carry passed. I was granted my permit in August and tbh I'm still a little paranoid abut whether I'm profiling or not. lol the first time I carried I kept checking to make sure it wasn't visible.

I open carry most of the time (once in awhile concealed) and it's pretty common to do so here in Arizona. I carry not to be a hero who prevents some sort of crime from occurring, but rather for protection for myself and my family who live in a city where we are short over 150 police officers for the city's size and population. I agree with Jimmy regarding the possibility of an non LEO open carry citizen becoming a target for the "perps" but for me personally, I just try to avoid situations where that may be the case. Whether you carry concealed or open, training with your gun of choice and proper mindset are key.

An S&W M&P .40 in the winter, and a Ruger LC9 in the summer (when the clothes are less bulkier). Usually I conceal, but have been known to open carry when on my motorcycle because there really isn't a comfortable way to CC on a bike.

I CC where legal, OC where legal. There are "tactical advantages" to both.

Either way, my holster is filled with a Walther P99 in 9x19mm.

FWIW, I made my own OC holster.
