I'll be applying for my carry license next time I get a ride to our county's Probate court office.
(me qualifying is no issue)
Do you license holders open carry, conceal carry, don't carry at all or (the ever-famous) "it depends".
I've been working for a guy, absolute, unadulterated gun nut, since just after Christmas who open carries everywhere. I'm helping to remodel his entire house, top to bottom about 4k sq/ft. 4 b/r 3.5 baths (NICE place). He has seen fit to strap me up with a "loaner" - S&W 1911 .45 cal ACP brushed-stainless with holster and now I'm carrying everywhere I can without the carry license. I'm strapped up right now in fact.
GA carry license doesn't care whether it's concealed or not.
However, I notice when I'm out with him somewhere people key up on his piece right away. (he carries a Christiansen 1911 - very high dollar) Then they notice my holster is empty. Most don't care but it always draws attention regardless. The 1911 is too big for me to conceal and with spring and summer coming the shoulder holster I've ordered won't do good with a t-shirt pulled over it.BTW: Taso lives just a couple doors up the street from this guy so I see him every couple days or so now. He opened a new office just after new year's day. That reminds me, we've been invited to a surveyors get-together in a few days so I need to remind him in case we're going.
I guess I'm just throwing this out there.
What say yee?

I have done both. Working in the woods, I don't normally carry because it's extra weight but if I had to, it would be open. Anywhere else is concealed. I do have a 24" machete that keeps most bad guys at bay.
I don't carry a gun, but I might if I was in a situation where it might be needed.
So I'm wondering just why your client wants you to carry a gun for a remodeling project? Seems like a PITA to me. especially something that big.
Or maybe it's just cool for all the kids to have guns, like playing cowboys and indians when we were kids! pow! I got you. No, you missed! neener neener!!!
[USER=44]@Andy J[/USER] , the local news did a story the other day about an insurance company that required all employees to have a CHL (condition of employment) and have it with them.
Seems silly but stranger things have happened.

Well, if the insurance people are going to rob,steal and cheat you, I guess that they should be armed. :snarky:
I own quite an arsenal and have a concealed carry license, but I think that open carry is not a wise choice.
If someone is going to rob a place or god forbid shoot innocent people, he will have spotted the open carry dude and that will be his first shot.

In Sanibel? Heck Andy I thought the biggest problem Sanibel has is the damn tourists riding bikes in the middle of the road or an occasional littering conviction! 😉

I was thinking more like for alligators or iguanas and such. a few tourists here and there are asking for it too!
