So I was shopping in Publix grocery store this weekend, and ask a manager about their policy on open carry. I thought I had seen folks engaging in open carry there, but I told the manager that I knew businesses can have their own policies, which I support, and I didn’t want this to be awkward for them if I come back openly carrying.
He informed me that he has a number of customers who open carry, and Publix follows the laws of the state. There is no problem with it at that store. I appreciate their stand on the issue, and I will certainly reward them by continuing to shop there.
In case we’ve never discussed this before (and I think we have), I open carry because I hate concealed carry and told the manager so. But there is a larger and more important reason. I open carry “For the peace, good and dignity of the country and the welfare of its people.” I owe that expression to Jeremy Bryant.

After you’ve done the workout, put in the effort, and sweat several liters of water doing the climb, it’s good to get the payoff. For me, it was downhill singletrack heaven pretty much the rest of the way out to the trailhead. I earned this payoff.
Have a great Labor Day!

Breitbart:
This means 12 states recognize the Second Amendment as your concealed carry permit. The states are Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
I’m not quite sure where Hawkins gets his information, but 30 states allow unpermitted open carry, my own state of North Carolina being one of them. Fifteen states allow permitted open carry, and open carry is only prohibited in five states: California, Illinois, Florida, New York and South Carolina.
It should be embarrassing to South Carolinians that you’re on the same list as California and New York.
