Open Carry Club and Open Carry Marches in Philadelphia?

[cbdresources]

Does anyone know of any open carry clubs or groups in Philadelphia or if there's ever been an open carry march in the last 20 years or more?
If not, would anyone be interested in starting up a group?
Or is it anyone's opinion that it's a bad idea?
There's all kinds of other clubs and groups that seem to freely operate, congregate and sometimes terrorize the city.
Why not a legal and constitutional group of law abiding, tax paying citizens, gathering together to participate in an activity that they enjoy?
That activity is not noisy, obstructive to traffic and doesn't pollute the air or put other people in danger due to reckless behavior.
It will also help enlighten and educate the lawful public about their rights to own and carry arms in a city that has written laws allowing them to do so.
I wouldn't mind doing a small test run with some people if any is interested.
I believe there are at least ten of thousands of legally armed people in Philadelphia alone. Some want to keep their ownership private and for emergencies only while others want to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights to the full extent. Either way, it would provide an opportunity for anyone to get the experience of exercising their right in the safety of an organized group and in their community.
I'm still educating myself about open carry in Philly because I started off on the path of misinformation by listening to others who hadn't read a thing about it or were in the business of misinforming the public they serve.
Looking for feedback on this. Positive, negative and neutral.

Why would you want to do this? You will only scare and intimidate people and make an issue

Most have no clue that OC is permitted. But when they do its the familiar "there should be a law"......

There are places and times when it is best to carry concealed.

I OC in the city all the time, nothing flashy or public marches, sure I get some looks but just go about my business. Exercising your rights can be done without issue

I have nothing negative to say about the idea but it looks like everyone is running out of gas around here. And everywhere else for that matter.

They will shoot you first!



Haha!
This thread should be fun. The anti-OC crowd hasn't cried about OC around here in about a decade now, so they may be eboldened now.

Don't open carry!
It's legal, sure, but if you open carry, it will scare people, and, and, and they will make it illegal, and then you won't be able to open carry!

So don't do it.

It's for the childrens.

And stuff.

LOL!

Do you open carry?

Do you open carry?

I rarely even conceal carry!

I did open carry my G19 for a few months back during the great OC debate of 1812.
It was uneventful.

I don*t have much to add other than check out this thread when you get time. It*s an OC thread by member ViperGTS. He use to carry in Philly a lot and had some interesting encounters. He did make a difference in Philly training through his experiences. Might be a good place to get a full feel and to learn about OC in Philly. https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=132551
