Open Carry Jan. 1st

[GL0Ck]

I will be carrying an empty holster in protest of the ban on unloaded open carry of handguns, come January 1st, and was just wondering... (forgive my ignorance of the law, but I know someone here will be able to advise me) What is the legality of placing other items in a holster? (Airsoft guns (loaded or unloaded), or ive heard of some people planning on putting bananas in holsters). Basically I want to protest and hopefully waste some tax dollars by taking up some of the PD's valuable time, without getting arrested. I know it seems childish and immature, but hey, im childish and immature... so there ya go.

i fail to see how carrying a banana on your waist can get you into any sort of trouble at all

nothing surprises me when it comes to gun laws, I see them defining the banana as 'an unidentifiable baby killer with high capacity potassium'... 25 to life.

but, due to tyrannical federal judges, you will be "realigned" to a county jail because you're a tri-non, where you will be court-ordered to be released due to overcrowding and only serve 1 year out of 25 and be on non-revocable parole.

Spend your energy where it counts, vote. And try to show the light to all the young liberals on the site voting our rights away.

Walking around with a banana in a holster won't do anything but get you laughed at. Spend the day with family and enjoy life.

If you're feeling froggy and want to jump, find a way to carry an AR pistol grip in/on the holster and let the day unfold.

If you do carry a banana make sure the peel is off, unlike some FUD from grocery stores that says it should be separate from the banana, it actually can be in the same container but not wrapped on the banana itself to be considered legal carry.

Just remember the kind of behavior that put OC on the map and led to its outlawing. Carrying an airsoft gun is a bad idea.

Could not have said it better. Lifes to short to be packing bannanas.

If I shot a cow in the head and let it bleed to death on the middle of main street (like they do in slaughter houses) do you think that would be smart?

Neither is open carry.

Just because a law allows you to openly carry a firearm doesn't mean you should parade around main street doing so, doing that will just put negative attention on gun owners, which we don't need.

If you want to keep your rights or get more of them, then volunteer to teach people to shoot, participate in the political process or even start your own. Pot is looked at as "cool" by much of society, we need to put that kind of spin/marketing on guns if we want to move ahead...not do the opposite.

Being immature about this will only hurt this process.

Bananas though, I'm not sure that ones such a bad idea....no gun around ( no gun pics on shirts etc). You could say when asked by a news crew that "an unloaded weapon is about as dangerous as this banana". And bring some comic relief to this...but bringing anything that resembles a gun would be counterproductive.

i agree with this post.

most people who are afraid of guns don't understand them.

once you teach them about them, they typically either have fun shooting them, or at least respect them enough and understand them enough to know that they don't kill people on their own; people kill people.
