Definitely in NY (pistol anyway)

As dumb kids we used to call the police and ask questions.
(It was legal to walk around naked with a loaded shotgun as long as you unloaded it to cross the street.)

Open Carry is pretty much the definition of "to keep and bear arms". is it not?

Is it open carry in the woods? Where do yo draw the line between sporting and carry?


Open carry for Texas CCW holders was signed into law in 2015. As expected, practically nobody open carries. I've only seen 3 people open carry since the law was passed.
