Interesting enough there is as much of the open carry crowd that are as critical of concealed carry and they are of open carry.
I would hope it would reach a point to where carry is the primary concern and the mode of carry is just that mode of carry.
There are pro's and con's of both, but to be over critical of the two modes of carry does no one any good and quite often splits position as to rights.
Who has not heard someone refer to the concealed carry group as criminal carry or the open carry group as in your face attitudes, neither should have it's place when talking rights.
I would agree that name calling has no place when talking about rights. But you have to admit that most of it comes from the CC side. I know very few OCers that don't also "criminal carry" when the weather is poor. Since we do carry CC also, I think we can call it whatever we want. Kind of like when dark skinned people call each other derogatory terms in an oh so loving way.
"What's up my N&)(@"
(please note sarcasm)
It actually irritates me that they think it's ok to use terms like that just because they are what they're referring to, no matter what group we're talking about.
Rob Pincus irritated me the first time I heard him on Armed American Radio. He basically thinks that if you OC you're doing it primarily for political activism. And therefore we are nothing but ignorant morons. I'm not really sure how he can't see that we're simply carrying for the same reason he is. To protect ourselves and loved ones. It just happens to come with the benefit of deterence, and standing up for our rights.(and his)
As to Rob Pincus statements are his and not mine. It has been my opinion for years that training has some good and some bad, take the good and leave the bad as you will benefit from it.
When open carry and people feeling it has a "benefit of being a deterrent" is an assumption that many like to tie that rope to, while deterrence comes in many aspects as we go about our daily lives. Many on here proclaim that they never had encounters or negative encounters as their open carry side arm is never really noticed and with this in mind it would have no effect as being a deterrent.
This is more of a my truck is bigger then yours and my car is the best, why would you want anything else?
I've seen some of James yeager's videos on YouTube. Can't say I'm a fan. He makes some really dumb comments.
1911's suck.
All guns should be Glocks.
Pistol grip shotguns with no buttstock serve no tactical advantage cause you can't aim them. In fact even a pistol grip shotgun with a buttstock serves no tactical advantage.
The guy is more annoying than informative.
