How often do you open carry?

[BerksCountyDave]

Here's a question I've been wanting to get an answer to around these parts. I know quite a few of us on these boards OC, so I'd like to know this:

Of the time you spend carrying a gun either concealed of open, what percentage of that time is spent open carrying the weapon?

[SFMarine]

I open carry when I walk the dog...I guess that counts in the 1 percentile.

[Emptymag]

I didn't vote, but I have been OCing(when no jacket is needed)almost daily, for walks with the dog thru the neighborhood, since last spring.

As for retail environments, maybe about 6 times.


Considering the weather in PA, I'd have to call "fibber" on anyone saying 100%.

[JoeWilliams]

I open carry in the woods when hiking, fishing, camping, or hunting. Otherwise, I'd just as soon my gun be a surprise if it ever comes out.

[TonyF]

Voted 1% to 20% but it's actually more like 5%.

[Brown-Bear]

Prolly 80% of the time. If I'm carrying a gun its most likely OC. But I don't always have my gun on me.

Guilty.

99.9%

[Pa. Patriot]

No carry allowed at my day job.
I OC 99% of the time when not at work so I picked 61-80

I carry openly most of the time - the only time I conceal is when I'm going into known hostile waters - like my paternal grandmother's house (She's an anti and at 86, not likely to change)

Once in a while, I'll throw a jean jacket on to cover at a store or something if I'm not in the mood to deal with OC encounters, should they happen - but that's rare. I'm usually willing to "take the heat" and educate when I can

If I am carrying, it is OC, with the exception of any place it is illegal to carry, or if it is raining. The only times I CC now is if I happen to have a jacket on due to the weather. I would cover it if asked on private property.
