you can open carry in some states, do a search.
here is an audio of a guy openly carrying and being harrased by the cops.
NC allows open carry, however in the liberal cities you get strange looks and may be stopped
where I live in the country, I know a crusty old local who wears a 44 mag wheel gun wherever he goes
including the bank!
I love FL's gun laws!
yeah, i researched all of that before i decided to get the cwp. the law states that you cannot carry an unconcealed weapon "to the terror of the public". personally, i don't like to leave anything related to my own legal affairs up to "the public" unless i have no choice. that said, at the time i researched it there had never been a case of someone being prosecuted solely for the aforementioned law.

If I recall correctly, there are at least 4 (maybe 5) criteria that must be met in order to be convicted of Going Armed to the Terror of the Public. You can be charged but it is unlikely to stick unless you meet the criteria.
And there are certain situations where NOT having the conceal permit is advantageous. Like if you forget you have your gun and get caught after having a beer (it happens and I'm only talking about a beer, not being drunk) CWP holders get a felony. Those without only get a misdemeanor.
A 19 yr old was killed last year 5 block s from me for trying to steal a trailer . No charges filled on the homeowner shooter .
...can i ask what the reason you all carry guns for? suppose its different in the UK as it would be hard to find someone with a gun so if i was told by a mate had one id be like wtf you got that for.
do you keep them as self defense or just cause its ok by law to have one so you do?
