Open Carry is a good idea and a bad idea. If you want to do it, there are a couple things you should know think about to protect yourself while you are doing it. Topics included are:
Protect Yourself and Your Gun
- You have something bad guys want
- It’s like walking down the street with a handful of cash
- Stolen Guns happen, Story out of Oregon
- Open Carry can stop crime, Story from Georgia
Awareness
- Pre-Fight Indicators
- People trying to get close to you without you seeing
- Watch out for Distraction Techniques
Dealing with People
- Look Respectable in how you dress
- Polite when asked questions, even stupid questions
- No “I told you so”
- If asked to leave, leave
- If drawing a crowd, leave
- If someone is hostile toward you, leave
- Don’t be afraid to call 911
Dealing with Police
- I’m not a lawyer or police officer, neither are you
- Don’t be a Jerk
- Someone called them, that’s why the cops are there
- They are afraid of you and your gun
- If the officer goes to his gun, you are in danger! Keep your head and do what you are told when you understand what he wants you to do
- Given an order by police follow it, fight it in court later
- “You may be the rap, you won’t beat the ride”
- Be respectful
- Carry Your ID
- Talk to the cops about what you are doing, what you plan to do, and what you are not going to do (AKA, I’m not here to hurt anyone)
- Don’t touch the weapon while talking to the cops
- You don’t have to talk to them, if you think they are trying to get you for a crime
- To find out if you are in trouble, “I’ve gotta go, I’m running late, Can I leave?”
- No, then take the but chewing that is coming and don’t say anything or act up
