Way to miss the point. Of course being armed isn't against the law. But most states don't allow open-carry, and if someone is reporting you to the cops and saying you're armed, that means you just broke the law by failing to conceal your weapon. Furthermore, if the person reporting you says you're acting suspiciously or in a threatening manner, that's enough justification for most cops to shoot you.
- djloche 11y agoOpen carry is only disallowed in 5 states. That said, I agree that the police are more likely to shoot first and ask questions later no matter the situation.
- daveguy 11y agoOn the contrary, in the US most states do allow open-carry. Only 9/50 states prohibit or restrict licensing to effectively prohibit open carry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_carry_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_carry_in_the_United_State...
- talmand 11y agoHard to believe but Texas just now joined that list. Keep waiting on the massive shoot-outs I've been told to expect. Still haven't seen someone open carry.
