So Loco are you the Motor City Madman in the flesh or do you just have his picture as an avatar?

Open Carry is legal in missouri. I have no problem with it what so ever. You know, If more folks carried a glock on their hip I bet the crime rates would drop dramatically.

In the flesh my friend.

Open carry is legal in ND as well.

I carry mine well thats for me to know and you not too.I have a Mn CCW in witch I had to take a shooting test and had to show knolage of my handgun and applied for Utah also under a certified Instructor.
Mn took 1 month after fingerprints..
Utah took 4 months after fingerprints,pitcher of me.They do a complete BG in all states they cover and you better have all the t's crossed and the I's dotted..........or they will refuse it.

What would be considered open carry it has to be visible and not under a coat or shouder rig? On your belt in a hoster?

I really HATE stupid comments like these.

Who really cares what he had strapped to his hip. The 2nd amendment guarantees him the right to keep and BEAR arms.

You telling people he had a "hand cannon strapped to his hip" only serves to undermine this right. So don't make such a big friggin deal about a person legally carrying a firearm.

Even having to pay to get a license is an unconstitutional law regulating and infringing onour right to keep and bear arms.

Amen to that. I agree 100%...

You see it fairly often here in AZ. It is nice to be able to exercise my CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to keep and BEAR arms. It also cuts down on the panhandlers that approach you at the gas station .

Most bulidings in our state ban guns on their premises. In fact, just about all do. I guess the only way to do it is if you're walking down the street.
