First open carry... sort of
"Open carried" my AK from the street into the gun shop today. It's not the most "suspicious" thing in the world, taking a gun into a gun shop, so maybe it doesn't really count, but it was kinda cool, and no one bugged me, so, thought I'd share for the hell of it.

Hey thats cool man, props on your first time open carrying, I've OCed a bunch of times in your area and no problems but never a AK, so make sure you got a good recorder on you.

Cool! I have never OCed a rifle, so that is sweet, even if it was a short walk.

Re: First open carry... sort of
Yeah, I don't really plan on making a habit of it, I was just taking it there to ask him some things about it - like getting the bayonet lug fixed so the bayonet will fit, which he did do! And the gun wasn't loaded either, so like I said, it's not really a full-on "open carry," but I did walk in public with an AK-47 strapped to my back, so I felt kinda cool, lol.

Re: First open carry... sort of
Hey man, good job. Since I can't legally carry a firearm(under age), I'm thinking of a long gun, not an AK but the good ol' American Colt AR-15. It will be a very interesting experience for me. Any good pointers anyone can give the OP and myself? Besides carrying a very good voice recorder.

Re: First open carry... sort of
AR-15 is a different story. That's "our" gun. The AK is the "evil" gun. You will get less trouble with an AR, lol.
There's not really much to tell. Carry across your back, try to keep the muzzle pointed as down as possible, and don't touch it. As far as what to do if the cops show up, that's up to you. It's your decision to either waive all your rights and surrender to them or assert your rights and not give them anything. Just please don't ever become belligerent and make all OCers look like idiots. Even if the cops want to arrest you, just protest calmly, don't start shouting like a fool.

Ha, I don't think the local police will give me to much trouble. I'm actually planning and going down to the station and talking to some of the officers about open carrying. I'd rather approach the police and actively talk to them, than having them approach me and needing to defend my rights or wave them. The area is very lightly patrolled, but they might start more heavily patrolling the area if they get reports of a person carrying an AR on their back.
