We have had many discussions on open carry vs. concealed carry on our forum.
Not only that, but quite a number of forum members here are also members of OCDO.
This leads me to believe that we give the impression that ours is more of an Open Carry forum than a Concealed Carry forum. Some may even get the impression that almost all of our members open carry regularly. I do not believe that this is the case, but have no firm data to back up that belief.
For that reason, I wanted to start a poll to allow forum members to give us some hard evidence one way or the other.
[EDIT] Those people who have their permit are requested to vote. The following paragraph was merely intended to keep from giving a skewed result by people who don't yet have their permit and carry open/unloaded until they do. I want the real results of people who have their permit, or how they expect to carry once they do have their permit.[/EDIT]
In order to not skew the data, I am specifically asking those people who are waiting for their CFPs to vote for the category that they believe that they will be in once they do receive their CFPs. In other words, if you're going to get a CFP and are open-carrying unloaded only until you get that CFP, don't vote for a category that is your short-term solution while waiting on the CFP. Vote for how you plan to carry once you receive your CFP. I'll set up the poll such that you can change your vote if you change your mind.
[EDIT #2: I've noticed that a number of people are saying that they mostly CC but sometimes OC to hike or camp.
Hmmm. I think that may be skewing the results of the poll from my original intention. I think I should have worded it to say OC in public, e.g. on the streets, in restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Out in the backwoods, it just doesn't quite mean the same thing.
This poll was set up so that you can change your vote at any time. Anybody need to change their vote with this clarification?]
In this thread, I'm not interested in rehashing the old debate of which is better. We've covered that quite thoroughly in other threads, so let's not go there. Just let us know which category you fall into the most.
So ... let's find out, shall we?
