I have been in law enforcement for almost 30 years. The sight of someone open carrying makes me cringe. A LEO will always have his hand near the firearm to keep someone from trying to take it. That comes from training you receive. I see people in public who are oblivious to exposing the weapon to everyone. My first thought when I see this is, someone is going to take their weapon from them and use it against them. Cover it up, conceal it, do something. Stop trying to be a billy bad-arse when you have no clue about weapon retention.

And in your experience have you had any issues with regular folks carrying? Hell, when someone pulls me over they know I might be armed already and I tell them I am. Never been an issue.

My lack of face tats might help too though

Muh tactical training.

Knowing it upsets cops makes me want to open carry.

Don't forget some of these losers are fighting against your rights.

Whittington’s support of Constitutional Carry goes against a group of Louisiana law enforcement officials who on Thursday held a news conference supporting Edwards’ veto and urging lawmakers not to overcome it.
