Open Carry since the big shooting
Anyone have any issues with open carry since the shooting at the movies?
Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
No problems have come up for me. I still carry daily around Prince William County. People just give me the usual stare from the corner of their eye hoping i dont see them lol.ModelAUzi wrote:Anyone have any issues with open carry since the shooting at the movies?

Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
I haven't had any problems here in Fredericksburg. I was out hiking yesterday and no one seemed to noticed. Granted I was out in the wilderness along the Rappahannock and most folks out there carry as a matter of course.

Carried yesterday around Leesburg. Started a great conversation with the guy at the NAPA Auto Parts store.

Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
Question: Would it be a bad idea to OC in a Theater such as Paragon?(Formerly Muvico) I do not believe that the shooting should be a reason NOT to carry, I believe it is a good reason to carry.

Oc'd in Walmart on Iron bridge, and Radio Shack, and Office Max on Jeff davis in Chester. Thought I saw some looks, but just might be my paranoia.......
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.

Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
A couple extra strange looks, perhaps. A couple of Deputies in New Kent eyed me suspiciously as I checked the air in my tires. But, on the other hand, I've also been complemented on carrying in that same time frame.
Mostly, though, business as usual. And, I open carry daily.

Heh. I carried at the movie theater last night. (Manassas 4 Cinema) Not only did we not have any trouble, but the old Indian fellow (former Bollywood type) who owns it invited us up to the projection booth, showed us how to thread the film, and let my wife start the movie. Very cool.
Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
I OCed at the gun show today. OK no big deal. Then I went to Chick-Fil-a the trooper there didn't say anything. Then I had to go to Starbucks. Once again no issues. I also got a numbers Matching Mosin for $118 out the door. It reads 1939 on it but for 118.00 how can you go wrong?

Re: Open Carry since the big shooting
I was in the VIP Section of Paragon Village 12 and I did not have any problems OCing until I went to the bathroom. Security asked me to put my Firearm in my Car because Guns were not allowed up there. Totally ruined my movie experience.
