B...Yes, Mike, I agree. Most don't even notice.<br /><br />But not because most recognize a person carrying a gun as a daily, normal occurrence, but rather because most people walk around in their own little fog and do not pay attention to others around them. Most people today have a herd mentality.FatWhiteManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946272184958991397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-20329873847631855992010-12-06T09:26:11.630+01:002010-12-06T09:26:11.630+01:00FWM, As a big critic of my using anecdotal stories...FWM, As a big critic of my using anecdotal stories to draw sweeping conclusions, your few personal open-carry experiences aside, I ask again.<br /><br />Do you agree with Mike W. or not?<br /><br />"Most people don't even notice."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-55644929551632870872010-12-06T08:26:26.483+01:002010-12-06T08:26:26.483+01:00Nice to know what Jadegold does when he is out in ...Nice to know what Jadegold does when he is out in public -- staring at men's waists and groins.<br /><br />Work for TSA also Jadegold?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-30188505870856236342010-12-06T03:34:55.937+01:002010-12-06T03:34:55.937+01:00Colin: Surely thaey were snickering at you.

Safer to ask him what he thinks of O-bamma.<br /><br />I watched an amusing TV show about open carry where a female student from UCSF strapped on with a proponent. After roaming around downtown San Francisco and getting some major hassles from people who didn't want to see it, they went to a barbecue where everyone had a holstered gun. Apparently the law states the guns can't be loaded. They just parade around to try to get other people comfortable with the idea.<br /><br />WTF?Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-78072365317388054892010-12-05T18:11:50.186+01:002010-12-05T18:11:50.186+01:00I'm thinking a contest to name Mike W's &#...I'm thinking a contest to name Mike W's 'trouser monkey' is in order.<br /><br />How about:<br />Mr. Lonely<br />Deadwood<br />The dripping edge of nanotechnologyJadegoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219212637582238275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-57989238194324102622010-12-05T16:29:58.376+01:002010-12-05T16:29:58.376+01:00He's never run into me.

There, I can assure you people notice and fall right into his category 2 or 3."</i><br /><br />Mike,<br /><br />You would be surprised how many people blunder around in their own little world, ignoring others that share the same sidewalk or store aisle. That self-centered attitude, along with the fact that so many people carry cell phones, PDA's etc on their belts these days means that, yes, as long as you do not stand out and blend in with the rest of the herd, a large percentage of those you would encounter do not notice you are open carrying. Its kind of sad, really.<br /><br /><i>"Which brings up a question. In open carry, can a person wear an overcoat which in effect conceales the gun?"</i><br /><br />No, that would be concealed carry.FatWhiteManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946272184958991397noreply@blogger.com
