Great! Hopefully, they'll stop harassing you. Persistence pays. Good work!

I OC'd while walking down my street into hopkinton with my son in a front carrier (2 months). My wife commented that someone was going to call 911 and report a man with a baby and a gun...... None of the neighbors did much more than wave and say hi while raking leaves and cleaning yards.
Haven't made it into downtown Concord while OC yet.

NOPE! Can't be that lucky! 6th incident/4th detention tonight this evening... Why do I only get stopped in Concord? I'd like to get stopped elsewhere!
If this officer stops me again I will question him why he keeps detaining me when I'm "That Activist from <my town>."

Possibly tomorrow evening. There is an event up in Bristol and I may leave the house 30-45 minutes early to OC if someone wants to tag along. Send me an email at "Open Carry NH (at) gm ail " (no spaces) and If you send your number I can give you a call ~20 minutes prior to me being there; otherwise I can give you an estimate of when.

I open carried with my girl friend at Friendly's restaurant in Concord. While we were eating our ice cream, a young boy that looked about seven or eight asked "are you a police officer?" I turned to face him with a smile and said "no, buddy, I'm a regular guy." He said "well, what's that?" pointing at my sidearm. I said "it's a pistol." He asked why I had it and I said so I could protect myself and the people I love. His dad chimed in and said "lots of people carry guns." I got up, introduced myself and my wife and shook the mother and father's hands.
The boy then asked what I had to do to be able to carry a pistol. I told him I didn't have to get permission, but then said if I wanted to cover it up, I had to get permission from the police. I showed him my CCL. The father thanked me for sharing. They were a very nice family and it was a pleasure meeting them.

I'm thinking of open carrying an empty holster to see if I get detained. I wonder if I'll get detained?

That's fine, I'll be asking if I am free to go and that I don't consent to being detained for no reason.

So why risk your own safety by being unarmed?

Open Carried in Concord all day. We stopped at Einstein Bros. Bagels on Ft. Eddy Road, Joe Kings Shoe Shop, some antique store and then went to Wal-Mart. No issues, but did get one positive compliment while in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Did you drive between places or did you walk? I just ordered a couple of "I'm lawfully carrying my pistol(s), please don't call the police" t-shirts. We'll see how those work out

No. Light clothing, dark pistol. Not on purpose. That just happens to be the shirt I put on this morning.

No. Light clothing, dark pistol.
Many cops driving around? Did you walk with your pistol toward or away from the road?

I have no idea. I did my shopping in the usual way. When I was walking one way the pistol faced the road, when I walked the other way it was not. Just like all the times I've OCed in Concord.

I went shopping at the Shaw's in Lancaster during PorcFest with my 10 yr old son while OC'ing my SIG P229 .40
No one said anything until I was finally in line. I ended up waiting in line for a good 20 minutes because of some mix-up with the purchase in front of me. While waiting, the cashier finally noticed my sidearm and piped up (with a scowl)
"You carry a camera AND a gun?? That's really making me nervous"
To which I replied "How would you feel if I were a police officer?"
She said, "I'd feel much safer since a police officer has a badge."
I then responded, "That badge gives the policeman a license to use his gun however he sees fit without fear of going to prison for it. If I use my gun in a way that isn't for self-protection, I'll go to prison. Does that make you feel safer around the cop or me? I certainly don't want to go to prison."
She responded after a moments pause "I suppose you have a point..." We stood around as she waited for management to come fix her register and I chatted with her and other FSP'ers without further questioning about my firearm.

I OC'd in the Lancaster Shaw's (waaaaay back in '06) with nary a glance. Same for the state liquor store next door.
Even in God's Country, there are those who have been brainwashed.
