What's amusing is that far too many here are as paranoid as the fool waving the cell phone.

In my state only tourists are taken aback to see handguns on hips. They might consider that they don't get mugged or raped here.

I thought the video was spot on. On each and every point that was made. Some of us here that are proponents of Open Carry have said about the same stuff over and over.

he was correct in his description of some of the Loser type OC'ers as well as some of the Police who have no idea of the law. Great video!

Why not just say "I have no problem with your weapon at this time at all. But we're both men right? So you have no problem with me saying I'm gonna light you up if you touch yours, right?"

You're a tough, I'm a tough. Keep it straight and don't be a bitch rat when the police say something you know will get you YouTube hits. Faggot.

Couple of weeks ago, I walked into a local gas station to get a coffee. I was working and was uniform, there was a guy in the store with a 1911 out and open for all the world to see (It was a Sig). As I walked by him, I said, "Nice looking Sig". He said sorry as he covered it up, my reply was simple; "No need to be sorry, Sig makes a good gun". We both laughed a bit, I got my coffee and left.

Doesn't get much easier than that!

When you read the responses from NYS men (?) claiming that they will chose to swagger about carrying a handgun in plain sight, then be surprised if an LEO approaches them about it, are going to be really stupid labels them as dumb phucks in my book. Given that NY is second only to CA as a "bluer than blue" state, open carry, outside the woods is a macho invitation to a confrontation. Only a cop with a double digit IQ would walk up to some guy walking around a pubic park with a handgun in plain sight and ask how his day was going. Two cops at least..... one to talk, the second with the 870 at the ready.

Now I'm a Fed lol? Illegal weapons? Sorry I didn't realize you were suffering from dementia.

I only go to the buffets cause your mom likes it and she lets me get her senior discount. That woman loves to eat!

Anyone with a brain moved out a long time ago.

Takes less smarts to decide to GTFO NY than it does to come in out of the rain....

Of course, even stupider than those of us still here are the ones thinking of coming back :)

If every NY cop was like you on this particular issue, we wouldn't have a problem.

Anyways, I didn't think open carry was even legal in NYS. In public anyway.

It isn't. It's so poorly written that even armed guards for banks must carry concealed although it isn't enforced.

(c) have and carry concealed while so employed by a messenger employed by a banking institution or express company;

IMHO. open carry in a public setting is as dumb as refusing to obey a command/request from a LEO.

Here's a good quote from a "Carry" site.

"Fact is, in NY it is illegal for anyone over 21 to even handle an unloaded pistol without a permit. This is why if you go to a gun shop you must show your permit before handling any pistols on display. Since the only permits are for concealed carry, that is only type of carry permitted in NY.


Now, I've taken 3 (three) pistol safety classes from 3 (three) different instructors, and I've also extensively discussed the rules with my gunshop proprietor, who is also a retired NY State Trooper and firearms instructor. They have consistently stated that open carry is not permitted except in very limited circumstances, which I mentioned above. No doubt this is a combination of criminal code and caselaw.

I believe you would be charged with menacing if you open carried publicly. You could certainly be shown to be deliberately carrying and attempting to intimidate others (even if that's not really your reason), which is the misdemeanor version. You would probably lose your permit and have all your pistols confiscated (the issuing official actually can do that even if you are not charged with anything). As others have pointed out, New York is not gun-friendly and the average person is not very comfortable with the concept of private citizens carrying firearms for other than hunting. The rural counties may be a lot more reasonable but the law is the same statewide.

I'm not ready to test the law and try to open carry; but if you are, be my guest."

So strap on your hogleg, parade your butt down Main St in Rochester, maybe they'll let you have your phone in the cell and you can whine here about how you were mistreated. Provide us some laughs !

I do, ALL of the time. Been doing it for about 7 years now. Not once have I been jammed up for my actions.
