Hey all, I have not posted here in a long time, but I found this and think I should share it. It is a FULL COPY in PDF format of the MPOETC course regarding OPEN carry. I printed it out and carry it folded in my back pocket, might be a good idea incase someone says YOU CANT DO THAT BECAUSE THE LAW SAYS YOU CANT or something of that nature.

Great post.
So , the manager at Wally World can tell you to coverup , even if you don't have a CC permit , and your still legal......right ?
A Peace Officer who observes a person walking the dog , on a sidewalk , Open Carrying without a CC permit , is violating the law him/her self , when he/she tells a person to coverup.....right ?

You can ONLY conceal carry legally if you have an LTCF or fall into one of the listed exceptions. Should you conceal your firearm because someone told you to and you don't have a license, you will have commited a crime punishable by jail time and the lifetime loss of your 2A rights.

A cop telling you to cover up is no different than Joe sixpack telling you to. If you do not have a license, you can't cover, legally. Should the LEO use his position to force you to cover, such as threat of arrest, THEN he is violating the law.

Thanks, this answers many questions I had.

Thanks!! I printed a copy and will have it with me in my car. While I do have a LTCF, I don't always choose to cover up.

If you visit a State Park, you must conceal. Other than that, with a valid LTCF, yeah you can go about your normal routine.

Be prepared for a possible negative encounter. They are some what rare but entirely possible. It's a good idea to carry a few of the flyers found on this site with you, as well as a voice recorder.

Stay safe.
