Thread: open carry conceal carry?

Just wondering places around GS and OB that are gonna be progun and those that probally will not get my business.

Dont know about ob but i work in ms. 4daysout of the week and the new open carry is going into effect the first . Alot of the gas stations and even state rest areas have no gun/weapon signs. I told the lady at gas station i stop at "for or against putting a sign like that up is like putting a bullseye on the store to be robbed". Her answer,with a dazed look in her eyes,was " ive been robbed before i dont like guns". I ask her did she thinl a robber would pay attention to that sign? Customers started coming in and didnt get her response,but this is whats wrong people think signs and laws will stop the lawless!

Yup. Might as well put up a big neon sign saying "Please rob us!!". I think its stupid. Its people like that that have not been properly informed/trained in guns and gun safety that are going to ruin this country. I grew up shooting guns. It was a way a life for me. Guns are not the problem. People are the problem.

As soon as I'm of age I'll be going back and forth between a 38. Army Special and probably any heavy barreled 357.revolver. I loved most heavy barreled 357's, I like shooting small trees down with them.

45s are even better. They can do some damage to pine trees and fence posts.

I have a front pocket holster that my public defender goes in, while at Buffalo Wild Wings early this year on Airport Rd in Mobile the butt end of the gun became visible when I sat down. I did not pull it out but the pockets to my khakis were a little loose (the holster has a clip that secures it in my pocket). I did not know it was visible and did not know it was even a problem but was asked to leave immediately. There are very few places that I go without my weapon (thanks to a bad trip to one of my work locations in Memphis). I respect the right of a business to not want weapons in their establishment but like the post said earlier they are letting the would be robbers know that they will be the only one armed. I personally have not been back to BWW since the incident and probably won't go back. On a better note, the Chinese place in Anniston that I ate at tonight gives you a discount if you show them your concealed carry permit (5%).

I know some BWW are not antigun so before you write all off check with the each establishment. I was just wondering what places are pro and what places are antigun around GS and OB.

I haven't noticed any "no guns allowed" signs at any of the places I frequent down here yet.

They have been back and forth on this so much...I didn't realize they got everything settled....even though I still carry when I head to Jackson....

you will be much better off with a small frame auto that you will carry instead of a hog leg that you WILL quit carrying because it is too big.
