Conceal Carry vs Open Carry
I've had a ccl for over 15yrs and thank God have never had to pull my weapon. I live in Baton Rouge which has a "little" crime problem. I do not leave home with out a hand gun and usually a shotgun under the seat in my truck. When I grew up in the country every body had guns and guns did not make people nervous (hell we even had shotguns hanging in our back windows Of our trucks on school property in high school so we could go hunting after classes).
Now then to my point, I'm seriously considering open carry. It is our right in Louisiana and as we know, if you don't exercise and work to protect a right the libs want to take it away. People need to understand, guns are not the problem, mans evil heart is the problem. I believe only the Lord Jesus and scripture is the only thing that will change a man's heart. I welcome you guys thoughts. It's still a free country (for now) we are all intitled to an opinion. |
Only real problem I have with open carry is it draws attention to you if someone decides to get stupid and then you become a target by the bad guy.

most people dont realize that u can have open carry. but u can and most probably will be questioned by a cop if he sees u. and the cop can disarm u if he wants to esp if others are feeling uneasy and complaining. thats why i have ccl. draw less attention to urself.

I've been considering open carry too. Drawing attention is gonna happen for sure. Still unsure.

I do open carry at times. Example if I'm filling up with gas at a station alone at night or at Albertson's late at night. |

I don't go to theaters. Most have "No Guns Allowed" posted in small print (you have to look hard to find it most times). Most have little to no security and as we all know by now people in a "gun free" zone are sitting ducks to a low life coward.

The only time I have seen anyone open carry was at a local coffee shop and this guy was about 150lb soaking wet and it looked like he had the biggest pistol he could find strapped on... kinda funny if I say so. I am going after first to take class for permit so I can not only feel safer for my family but also when we travel out of state and I just carry my gun in the car.

Churches
Quote:
U.(1) The entity which owns the business or has authority over the administration of a church, synagogue, or mosque shall have the authority to authorize any person issued a valid concealed handgun permit as authorized by the provisions of this Section to carry a concealed handgun in the church, synagogue, or mosque. (2) The provisions of this Subsection shall not be construed to limit or prohibit any church, synagogue, or mosque from employing armed security guards who are either certified law enforcement officers or who are authorized to carry concealed handguns pursuant to the provisions of this Section. (3) If the church, synagogue, or mosque authorizes the carrying of concealed handguns as authorized by the provisions of this Subsection, the pastor, priest, minister, or other authority of the church, synagogue, or mosque shall inform the congregation of the authorization |

Kibb, in college I worked at the mall of Acadiana. The head of security said he would ban anyone he noticed carrying. He said if he sees it then you are brandishing your weapon. It came up when I asked him about a customer open carrying.
|
I'm speaking of CC. At most, I may print on accident. Printing isn't brandishing. Anyhow, if a business wants to ban me for carrying.
|
That's why he's security and not LE. He doesn't know what brandishing is.
|
Yea, I agree there is a difference between the two. He was a sheriffs officer for 25 years and was also the founder of crimestoppers so he says. I don't know much myself about CC, just telling you his opinion on it. I CC without a permit because it seems like the law isn't on your side if you use your gun to protect yourself permit or not.
|
Lousiana is an open carry state.... There is no brandishing laws as per my cc instructor.
