That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states
out west, though I believe Virginia allows it.
And lawd almighty it's a stupid idea.....

As compared to the more common "concealed permit"?

Open carry seems a way for short little ****s to swagger, and little more.

So your really saying your little guns don't make you feel tougher? To
be a viagra gunner you got to get a big gun?

Ask someone who isn't a cop or in the military who walks around with a
handgun in "open carry." I don't do that, unless I am out in the
"forest" where the feral dogs play.

Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so
interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not
getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not unusual...
hummmmm...

Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think
of carrying a firearm...let alone a church official.
No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure
changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going
hunting or target shooting.

There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target
shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If
I go
hunting, I carry a firearm.
Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !


"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting
or target shooting and "carrying" your firearm with you.


I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean
"packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think
that is the way Don was using the term.


"Carrying" typically means carrying on your person a concealed firearm
for personal protection. In many states, you have to have a state-issued
permit to carry a concealed weapon in states that recognizes your
permit. I have such a permit.

Not from Maryland. You don't have an acceptable reason to have a
concealed carry permit in Maryland. But, I can see why are mean nasty
prick like you would want to carry a gun?
