Sent Rep. Barry Mask a supportive email asking him to clarify what kind of legislation he's considering. I also suggested he check out trying to overturn vehicle carry laws and may issue permits. Haven't recieved a reply yet, but it's great to hear some one in the House is at least interested!
I actually saw Gov. Riley in Mark's Outdoors a couple of months back. I'm just standing there holding an XD, and I hear one of the workers say, "Hey Gov." He was with one of his grandkids I think, and no security personnel that I saw. His shirt, however, was quite long, and untucked. Completely possible I witnessed the Gov. CCW'ing on his day off. Haha.
It took everything I had not to approach him and ask for his support on OC, but as I saw it, he was "off duty."

Thanks for contacting him. I received a reply when I contacted him, but that was months ago. Hopefully, he's enjoying time with family and will get back to email afterwards.
I, too, think it would be a good idea to reverse the permit requirement for vehicle carry. However, since this isn't warm, southern California, most of us will need a concealed carry permit several months out of the year or any time we put on a suit coat. Since AL CCWs are issued at the sheriff's discretion, that means we currently need cooperation from their offices. Several AL sheriffs have revoked CCWs based on good, clean OC incidents. Perhaps ultimately we should push to completely revamp AL's current discretionary CCW system into something like TN's "shall-issue" system. This would insure statewide uniformity. As part of that new system, I'd certainly like OC to be left alone as a constitutional right and only require a permit for CC.
Best regards,

Gun Show went well, had my first "Are you on OpenCarry.org?" comment.. lol (what's up, Para.) Met a bunch of people who were interested, some who were not. Handed out 50 flyers and left 20 more at the two gun stores I frequent.
Still OC'in in the gas station across the street and to and from the apt mostly. Walked right past a sherriff's deputy standing with some people filling out a report right outside the apt. Nothing was said, just got in my truck and left. There's no way he could have missed the Springfield XDm, I passed him strong side, and I had on a white shirt. The more I venture out, the more evident it is that attitude simply is everything.

| Had a crazy OC day yesterday. Started off heading to Bass Pro Shop on I-20 but it wasn't open at 9:30am, so ended up just leaving. There were about 25 people milling about, no one said anything. Then I went to the gas station across from the apt, non-event as usual. Next I went to Best Buy and checked voice recorder prices, non-event, even chatted with the front door loss prevention guy. Then MacDonald's and my only chat there was with a nice older lady who said 'Is that a Glock?' :-) Then IHOP that night.

Nice, keep up the good work, Cricket.
Today's OC destinations were FedEx, Tom and Jerry's Gas station, package store, Pelham pawn shop, and ATI Pistol Range. No comments anywhere except pistol range where a guy behind the counter thought it was illegal. He's a good guy, but why is that usually said by people who are OC'ING themselves?
Rockin an Rollin.
Anybody else have any recent OC stories from central Alabama?

They aren't OC'ing, they are packing heat for protection of the poor unarmed bullets.
One never knows when a university professor will come in.
I can't believe they would admit to shoving her out into the hall where she
could threaten students and think that is a good thing.
Anyone hear if she will be charged with bringing a gun onto school grounds with
intent to do harm? Funny how they claim this to try and disarm us, but let a real
crook break the law and they don't even get charged with it.
