The Open Carry Argument

[bobzilla]

CCers have also been disarmed/shot.

Are we going to start calling for no more CCing?

Damn 5 year olds are getting sneakier

Have you heard you are more likely to crash your car unless you get vaccinated?
It’s really bad.
Not a joke.

...which should become the new poster child for the maxim that correlation does not prove causation.

Yep, I've always hated when people pull that statement out. There are actual pros and cons for open carry vs concealed carry. You'll be shot first isn't really a thing.

Exactly. It seems that the only examples produced have been along the lines of some fool flashing a Shiny Thing and drawing attention to himself, or else a criminal shooting a uniformed security guard.

I always run down the street yelling "I HAVE A GUN" when I want to show off my new gun.

The way that I carry is the best way to carry because IT IS THE WAY I CARRY.
That is really what many people really mean.

Well, MOSTLY true.

Some people have stated... JFC.
Just
F'n
Carry

in other words, you do you, I'll do me.

That is why I said many people.

I would really love some stats on that because I think it's urban legend bull

Afraid the bean counters will always skew the data to meet their end. JUST LOOK AT THE CDC.

Covid targets OCers first too?

Dang, I guess I better start hiding my pistol.

Yes just like it did not target BLM protesters aka rioters. Covid is very advanced that way.

IMHO I just do not agree with open carry. Just because you can does not mean you should!
Besides, why invite trouble and antagonize the anti-gun people and let them scream more often trying to crush the 2A?
My 2 cents and then some. Peace.

Good to see you've read the entire thread and taken the time to digest all the pros and cons...

I hope that was supposed to be purple...

They just need to read the first post.

Personally, I love antagonizing anti 2A people.

Over 10 years and no trouble yet. Aside from poorly trained police but it has been a long time, and word has gotten around in the ranks.

Too funny. People have to project their fears onto everyone and say something should not be because they are afraid of it.

I've only been at it for eight years or so, and I think I've averaged about one person that has reacted a year. Zero have been bad, half were asking about legality. One lady actually asked me if I new I had a gun.

That had to be one strange conversation.

Oddly enough for the brief time my son was home he open carried, and no one said a word to him. I actually doubt anyone even noticed.

That really isn't odd. It seems to be the norm. People are oblivious.
