This is not responsible ownwership. The only people you fight are those who are sworn to protext ppl like you who cause more trouble but such actions. Clearly define your REASON for carrying out on the strip please. Doyou carry everywhere ekse you go? And if so, Why? What is your inheriant risk that you feel so threatened you need to VISUALLY show you firearm to the world and invite trouble?

@onem3 I don't feel inclined to define my reason for carrying to you or anyone else, it is my right, period. Yes, I carry almost everywhere I go. I greatly value my life, and the lives of those I care about. It would be irresponsible to not have every means of defending myself and those around me. I hate to answer with a question, but when you get into a car, do you feel so threatened you need to wear a seatbelt? I buckle up and carry because I know that I alone am responsible for my safety.

Open carry but no ammunition... Good job guys but I prefer to carry mine loaded and concealed.

[MilesOfCommonSense]

@PolishPrisoner My 1911 was carried condition 1, cocked and locked, as far as I know every one that attended was carrying loaded with a round in the chamber. Maybe your confusing NV laws with CA laws. ;)

@MilesOfCommonSense

cocked and locked? what are you John Wayne?

can't handle the 7 lbs of trigger pull for the single action?

[MilesOfCommonSense]

@dodger592 1911's are single action only and are supposed to be carried in condition 1 with a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked. Carrying hammer down is dangerous and since 1911's are single action only, you would have to manually cock the hammer back in order to operate the firearm. When you say "7lbs of trigger pull for the single action" I think you're actually thinking of a pistol that will operate in a double action fashion for the first round, the 1911 will not.

@onem3 Simply because he has the right to! He is not "fighting" the police, you moron, he is asserting his right as every American should! You "onem3" represent the very cancer in America because you are to cowardly to assert your Constitutional rights and you have become indoctrinated by a system to feel it is some how wrong or scary for regular good citizens to have the right to carry just as police do and have the right to be left alone when they do.

The ignorant public needs to understand right to bear arms is never going away and if they don't that then they need to find another country to live in where maybe pink and purple colors are more bountiful!

[nadzorka2929]

---->the more this is true, this is the only issue with any of the public not wanting you to open carry, people want to be the idiots they want to be and that can't be done with people that are armed that just gets in their way period! People need to learn the law and understand that is the only thing they can complain about, the emotional state and ignorance of the public is their problem, if they don't like the laws where they are then they need to find another place to live period!

[nadzorka2929]

Reading some of these comments confirms my opinion on people that have a problem with open carry and that would be only people that have an issue with open carry are the ones that normally have a fat mouth and act like asshats around you and if your carrying a weapon they feel uncomfortable and then can't act the way they want to and therefor treat you the way they want to and that would be to act like assholes with big mouths! Someone please tell me im wrong! The more redneck they are are---->

@Paulsfullofshit aka youre a brainwashed douche

[Elpapi702]

Why do so many fear law abiding citizens that carry firearms and trust police so much more? We both train with our weapons. And all the guys I know that carry have a great appreciation for life. I've never seen anyone get into an argument and draw the weapon. So what is the fear all about?

[Elpapi702]

@Dog070 we can legally carry in a bar if we want. Its private property and as long as the owners don't discriminate against us we are well within our rights to do so.

[Elpapi702]

Where do I sign up? I open carry every day and would love to be around other like minded law abiding citizens

[Aethan001]

Fools

[dog070]

ya'll are dumbasses. you are just doing it for looks I guess. Because in Georgia you can't carry in any place that serves alcohol. so basically ya'll can't go in anywhere on the strip(unless your laws are dif.)

[spacecated]

I really don't get all the fuss. Open Carry is legal in the state of the NV. These guys in the video are not breaking any law, so why all the negatives? To those who don't care for Open Carry...then don't! No one is forcing you to do so. What gives you the right to impose your fear on others?
