A first
Spotted my first OCer today. Took a pic:
Asked if he OCed all the time and he said yes. Asked if he ever had problems and he said no. Seriously, those were the only two words he said. Wasn’t real talkative and seemed annoyed that I’d ask.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I’m with Breda on this one. I’m still a newish shooter, only been shooting for about two years now, but one thing that has chapped my ass is how negative many pro-2a folks are. I prefer to open carry for a number of reasons, not one of which is anybody else’s damn business. I don’t care what my fellow OC’ers look like. If they carry legal that’s all I care about and I assume that there will be OC’ers of every flavor from Biker to buttoned down.

Breda, you may want to re-read Gus’ comment – he was ridiculing Andy for self-identifying as a Marathon runner and taking all of the stereotypes Andy applied against OCers and applying them instead against marathon runners.

Looks like Andy did his job: split a bunch of gun people into factions and distract the direction of the OP.
We’re falling for this stuff in 2012?
Respectfully, keep the peace and ignore the troublemakers. Anyone ever consider Andy just got a bonus for his work here?

All kidding aside, I actually think what Andy and his ilk do is quite valuable. It’s no good pretending that there aren’t factions. It’s like ignoring the cousin who always kicks your dog and insults your wife – just because they’re family.

” This is why you see the fools out there OC dual cowboy guns and other outrageous shit.”
What’s wrong with double single actions? True classics NEVER go out of style. I eagerly look forward to buying, and open carrying, 2 Ruger Blackhawks in .45 Colt.

Perhaps if “sheepdogs” started treating the “sheep” like they’re actual, you know, people then perhaps you could have a constructive dialog.
The most herd-minded people around are those who refer to others as “sheep”.

Black socks with sneakers? How gauche.

In a perfect world, I would have both an open carried gun and a hideout, like lots of cops do on duty, and lock the open carried gun and holster in the trunk of the car when going to the PTA ice cream social. And my daughter would have her .22 slung crosswise on her back riding her horse to school and hang it up in her locker along with her coat (the .22 not the horse). And my pocket knife would be a large Barlow that I would use to open the ice cream containers with for the PTA ladies.

Caleb,
I think the socks are navy, to match his shorts. Also they coordinate with the grey of the shoes, which go with the shirt. Note the belt and holster match his wallet. That outfit has it all tied together.
Say, does the Outdoor Channel have a “guns and fashion” show yet? Calling Mike Bane… 😉

I live right outside of DC (literally, if you drew a line from the white house to my house on Google earth it is 7.2 miles) and see people open carrying all the time.
I see them in suits.
In shorts.
Well dressed and poorly dressed.
I see them at the grocery store and the bagel place on Sunday mornings (and in fact, on Monday I saw someone carrying in both places).
Some look like typical government bureaucrats.
Others like motorcycle gangsters.
And some others like any other typical soccer mom.
I think 99% of the people walking around McLean VA are 100% clueless to the fact that people are openly carrying because . . . . with one exception (when I went to a VCDL open carry dinner) I have never run into an open carrier displaying any of the behavior that some are alleging.
Zero. Zilch. Nada.
I did see it at the VCDL dinner – which is the only time I was ever actually scared to be sitting next to someone carrying a gun. . . coincidentally that was the same night I first met Bitter (of The Bitch Girls and Snowflakes In Hell fame personally) – but we had met to go shoot at the NRA range, after which I left to attend the VCDL dinner.
As to fashion – to each their own. This guy has tattoos. Big deal. He’s probably a bicyclist – hence the shaved legs (and I know lots of guys I used to mountain bike with who have arms full of tattoos but you can’t see them when they wear their suit to the law firm).

WTF does ink have to do with anything? Andy, you’re a twat. I spent 15 years in the Army, am a doctoral candidate and have been CCing since I was old enough to do so and OC when it makes sense. I also happen to be mostly sleeved on one arm and tattooed elsewhere. My girlfriend has more tattoos than I do and carries her LC9 everywhere where it is legal in our state. I’m (not) sorry that my/our decision to get tattooed is so patently offensive to you. I’d love to see your peer-reviewed defense of the statement that A-hole OCers are tattooed.
