Please say a quick prayer and wish me a good experience. Today is my first day Open carrying.
I have the day off of work, and only have errands to run at Walmart, Home Depot, and at my Church.
I've read every single bit of Statute and Law I can get my hands on about open carry, and I believe I am now well enough informed to know what I can and Can't do.
May this be the beginning of a long gun toting voyage for me, and may I never have need to actually even remove this amazing tool from it's holster.
I believe that God is my protector and I have nothing to fear, but I also believe that the bible has told me that it is foolish to not have the desire to protect yourself and those around you from the works of evil men. This is why I've chosen to take the road of Open Carry until I get my CCW in 3 months.
And 1 last question for you guys, becasue it seems like I'm not totally 100% sure on this one even after all the reading...
Can I remove this gun from my holster and put it in a drawer in my desk at church? I believe it qualifies as storage and not concealing.
It will only be in the desk when I'm there. Even if I go to the bathroom, it will be put back in my holster.
Tell me if this is ok or if it's considered an illegal practice. I see no reason why it would be a problem, but I am asking instead of assuming that I know everything. Also, even though the law is TOTALLY clear on the rules, I want to be assured by some folks that my carry in places like WalMart and Home Depot is completely legal, as long as the entirety of the gun and holster is in plain view.
Thanks guys.
