I don't know when I'll want to have my gun in the car, or in my purse. But I want the option. I mostly want to have it at the house if I'm here alone (which isn't often.)

I'd still suggest a holster for purse carry, never know when something will get caught in the trigger guard. They also make some nice purses that are designed to carry a gun. Just a thought.

I understand the thought behind open carry, but it just paints a target on your chest. You lose the whole point of carrying a gun, the surprise element. Each to their own I guess.

The only time I can see an open carry situation I agree with is when you are on your own property like a rancher or farmer or when you are hunting. If in the general public, I just don't see the need. Just had a guy come in the other day to apply for a job doing the open carry thing. That's not the best way to impress a prospective employer.

Having said that to say this, I wouldn't ever take that right away from those who want to. I may find it stupid, but that's their right to do so.

We're an event staffing company. We have "security" in the title although it's about as loose a term as one could use when describing the job. Guest services is more appropriate for what we do. And when asked "how would you deal with an obviously intoxicated guest causing problems for other patrons" you probably shouldn't answer with "I'd detain them using physical control techniques and escort them out of the venue." And "what can you bring to the job" answers should not include "MMA fighting techniques and firearms skills."

He got props for being honest. Yet way wrong answers.

Totally agree. If under "contained" circumstances or "in the wild" OC seems perfectly viable. For general public carry I could think of more cons than pros to OC. I absolutely think it should be legal if only simply so you don't have to contend with printing or any other silly "gotchas" that can sometimes arise of concealed only environments.

As for holsters I'm pretty big on wanting to have the weapon ON me, not detached in a manner that could leave it vulnerable to any number of negative scenarios.

I used to travel to Kennesaw GA when they had open carry. If you tried to rob someone of their gun there five people would have pulled their weapons and shot you.

Speak politely with them, reason with them, don't be demeaning, remind them everyone paid for a ticket and are there to enjoy the game. Be courteous, yet firm. Leave on good terms.

I wish more places took that approach. No need to escalate things immediately.

Welp after all these years, I finally found out that I'm a cross-dominant shooter (right handed, left eye dominant). It's easy enough to fix with pistol shooting, obviously, but does anyone have experience fixing it with rifle? I truly don't want to start shooting left-handed, as all of my current bolt rifles are right handed.
