Savage Shooter Wrote:NC has always been an open carry state, but, in a big urban area like Charlotte, where I live, I can recall seeing someone open carry only once in my 35 years here.
UPDATE: I had a customer come to my office last Friday and he was open carry! I remarked to him that I had just noted on a forum that I had only seen one other person in Charlotte carrying open in 35 years. He said he had been doing it for about two years but that he is selective where he carries open. He said he avoids "busy" places" like the mall and grocery stores. But I agree with Customcutter in trying to avoid being the primary target. If a criminal is intent on shooting one or more people and he is not totally incapable of rational thought, he is likely to want to take out the threat most likely to thwart his plans - and spotting another guy with a gun, would try to shoot him first. I'd rather have the extra time to be able to asses a situation and have the drop on him rather than the other way around, so I'll keep concealed.
