...most cops here in the mobile area are just out there to harass you and I do mean that.
That has not been my experience, but I don't go downtown much either, most of my Mobile OC stops have been near I10 and I65.
the cops here don't harass me to much about my car, but there is a reason for that to, and I'm not a cop either, its just a mutual respect thing.
??
let me open carry and I seem to be a magnet for cops,
When were you harrassed? I must have missed the posting...Also, if you have been OCing, why haven't you been posting your experiences, both positive and negative, as the positive ones help the new OCers in knowing others are OCing with no problems...Like me.

Just try walking into the Walmart here on Schillinger near the paint and sporting goods area and watch this crazy eyed Manger come outa no where like your some kinda gang banger or something. It does help to carry in the areas your carrying Mississippian, but its not a very good idea to to carry, hmm lets say harbor freight, or the walmart I mentioned or Winn Dixie. About the car thing, mutual respect, I'm prior military and a war hero, so that might have something to do with not being harassed about my car, cause before that, my car was a target for LEO's, don't know why exactly, except for the fact it looks like a young persons car, since I'm a young person, I guess envy always plays a roll in young people being harassed as well, don't know what it is exactly but that seems to be a major factor in getting pulled over for no good reason. Don't OC in that sporting goods store on Airport right across from pepboys in the same shopping center that Circuit City use to be in before they went outa business. For obvious reasons, there is a satillite police precint there right next to the store, and I've explain to personel right there at the gun counter about open carrying and they still argue with me and say its not legal and ask me to leave or they'll send a officer over to handle it another way, hmm , maybe I might get awarded with some silver bracelts that don't feel so great.
I'm sorry about not posting in awhile I have just been so busy these days that I hadn't had time get online hardly at all, please forgive for that. I will try to do better about that, in the meantime stay safe, and be happy, look forward to latr responses.

This past weekend, I OC'd at the Walmart on Shillinger just south of Airport, then at Zaxby's and then at the Walmart @ Dawes and Cottage Hill.
Didn't have any problems but was in the two Walmarts for only a few minutes...Actually was in Zaxby's the longest.
I wasn't even dressed as good as I like to be while OCing as I was going fishing afterwards. I was in cut-offs and was wearing an old raggedy looking shirt.

You know Mississippian, I'm in that Wal-Mart almost 24/7, and Zaxby's is a rather safe place to OC, good choice. And the Dawes and Cottage Hill Wal-Mart is as well a great place to OC, since it's off the beaten path of just about everything. But good post , look forward to hearing from you when you OC in Academy Sporting Goods.

nothing that you probably don't know already, Academy has a satellite police station next door, I wouldn't advise to OC in Academy, cause a employee might get scared and run next door a whine. I did happen to see a old black security guard in there one OC a old six shooter and know one acted crazy about it. But its probably because he was a old country black guy with a six shooter and a security hat on with a old worn out blue jacket with a American flag on one of the sleeves. I wouldn't be as fortunate, cause I'm alot younger than a 70 something man. And I might come across as some young kid who is to inexperienced to carry a gun. Even though they don't know I've already been to war and handle way more fire power then any shop can offer around here. That just don't matter to people, people stereotype all the time and make there minds up for themselves, wouldn't you agree. I just stereotyped the old guy, cause he was old, I'm assuming he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with his little six shooter if he had to, but at the same time, he could just prove me wrong. I didn't think twice about the gun he was wearing on his side, not cause he stands for the same thing I do, but be cause he was a old dude, and I just don't think some guy in his 70's is going to be able to shoot someone accurately with those old eyes. But hey, I could just be a really mean wrong a** whole.

Thanks for the 'heads-up'.
I am not the type to just run up to Academy and dare anyone to mess with me, but at the same time, I will not let the fear of being harrassed keep me from going there if I need to...They have some pretty good sales on fishing gear at times, most of the gear I use on my kayak came from Academy.

| Just that day we are in there dixieborn. But you,I, and everyone else in our area and across Al. that is pro OC should try and OC all the time. The more people see other people carry the more normal it will become and it will just start to look like nothing more than a cell phone on your side after, lets say a year or less.

i was all over town today with no troubles at all! bought some ammo at the Wal-Mart in Semmes, i always get a kick out of it when they card me for buying handgun ammo when there's a .45 on my hip, but i'm glad to give it to them. kept just the holster when i went into the post office to buy some stamps.
later i was in both the Books-a-Million on Airport, and the one in the mall with no issues. then the Christian bookstore on Schillinger, the nice lady in there was surprised to see it and asked me about why i carried it, but didn't have a problem with it. then last stop in the Winn Dixie at Schillinger/Ziegler. i carry in there just about every time i need groceries and have never had a problem despite some people's comments on here...
all in all good day, and happy i didn't have to use the digital voice recorder i bought for the purpose!

awesome dixieborn, that's great you accomplished all that, what about the law and the post office, I thought your not even allowed to have a firearm even in your vehicle on there parking lot, cause that's considered federal property. I don't know, just asking, I always hate going to the post office, cause leave my firearm at home, go to the post office, then drive back home to pick it up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know the post office by the airport is like that, I know I read something about no firearms allow on premises, at the post office. That being said, The most dangerous place in America, A gun free zone. Any place you can't carry is a dangerous place.
anyways, good job, and keep up the good work Dixieborn

Advocate I never asked for your validation, and I have no desire to gain it. In all your posts in this one topic, never once have you provided an instance of your own that you have ever OC'd around Mobile. So please stop providing nonsensical replies to my posts. They get very old, I do not want or need your fashion advice, and your 'legal advice' is ridiculous. (While I agree Mobile cops can be inappropriate, I'd bet my next paycheck that I will never get accused of 'demonstrating' while shopping by myself in Winn-Dixie.)
In short, you really do not need to search through every single discussion topic on this forum and respond to all of them. If you have something to contribute, by all means do so, but the never-ending obnoxious seeking out and adding your $.02 to every single thread here is bad form...

| There's always one guy somewhere, who feels they know everything and feels there opinion and way of doing stuff is so much better, that they feel they don't need any one elses responses,hmmm, need I say more, I won't be responding to anymore of your post dixie, but I will continue to post on anything that I feel requires a good response to a post other then yours, you obviously don't need any advice from me, you have been granted a gift that none of the rest of us humans have, congratulations.

I think what dixieborn is trying to get across is that your enthusiasm for open carry is appreciated, but replying to every single response on every single thread is a bit overkill.

Well the fact is, I have on more than one occasion asked for the advice and input of others on this forum. It just happens I have never asked for yours... yet for some reason, I (and anyone else who dares post here) get what I did not ask for and more.
I do appreciate constructive and helpful advice from others, I do not appreciate condescension.
I'll leave it at that, I have no intention of hijacking this thread into an argument. And I look forward to reading the constructive, positive, and polite posts from anyone in the future!

Well I finally got around to contacting Wal-Mart about my run in with their
Schillinger store... here's their response. I'll probably head back there and
try to talk to a manager about it again citing this policy. Will let y'all
know if I hear anything new!
Thank you for your message.
Dear *name*,
There is no policy against customers carrying their handgun in our stores as
long as he/she is legally licenced by their state to carry.
As a private property owner, Wal-Mart has the authority and ability ask
customers to leave or to remove their handgun on case-by-case basis if it is
causing any kind of a problem.
