I heard the same story...except it was from my friends cousin Kenny's sister's friend's cousin's mother that works at the courtouse(damn, we're practically related Bubba!)...she knows somebody who got thrown in jail for life for open carrying.
You are both wrong it was the guy at the gun store that told me.
Oh, another important note I just learned at the same shop,
get your lifetime license to carry as they are being discontinued January 1, 2011.
Ok maybe a very low % have had some type of weapon retention training.
Your just tied to the tracks and that old train just keeps on running over you.
