Because in order to open carry, you don't need to go through a background check. Anybody could throw a pistol in their waistband (with or without a holster) or sling a rifle on their shoulder and Open Carry and I'm sure Calibers had seen it all. Let me tell you a little about me Mr. 3 posts total here. I'm Damien. I was a member of the Open Carry movement since I moved here in 2010, and when the New Mexico Open Carry group started, only recently left after seeing some of the stupid stuff posted there. Go ahead and ask Travis, Lucky, Roger, Francisco, David, Joseph, Carlos Jr. and Sr., and Leverett who I am. They can confirm that I know my **** when it comes to the laws and that I'd been a part of the movement since the start. I stand by my claim that arranging attacks on the store's reviews is childish.

Working a gun shop and range many years I have seen the things stupid people try in a shop. Damien is right all you have to do to OC is carry. No one instructed you or qualified you to carry. Theres no test and no education on laws or carry unless you seek it. I'm not saying we need to get certified to carry but CC does have a minimum of standards required to do so. Also Calibers is a business with INSURANCE that has liabilities and insurance requirements that could be even outside the laws. So to again for Calibers request to not OC could be a liability issue not a company decision. We don't know Calibers extent of insurance nor is it our business. But to say Calibers is anti gun and lets stop shopping there is insane. We need every gun friendly business we can garner. Another thing is if we abuse our privilege to carry it could be placed in danger. Just because we can do something doesn't always mean its right. As for Damien I can say the guy knows his stuff and has an extensive background on laws and guns and has been a voice of reason. And if you think of it theres a few gun shops around that don't allow any type of carry in their stores yet we still shop there. There is no big deal or wrong going on.
