I resemble that remark!!! )
I'm not chick'n. I'm smart. I'm old... too old to fight anymore... so here's my 2 cents worth: I am certainly for both - Open Carry and Concealed Carry - do one or the other-- just be armed!
I live in Texas, so the only place I normally open carry is on my own property; otherwise I conceal carry. Now. If I go across the Red River into Oklahoma I could open carry, but I probably won't. If some young punk sees it, and decided to take my gun away from me, I might not be strong enough to keep him from it. That being said, I won't be frequenting places that might be more conducive to that event, but a lot of crap takes place in places like parking lots at Walmart and/or the mall. If I were younger and as much of a scrapper as I used to be, I'd be carrying openly when authorized... but I'm not. So, I'll just keep carrying concealed, and try to maintain my attitude of awareness. And I will be very happy to see others open carrying all the while. )
Bottom line......Those who don't want to OC are chick'n!!!
Enjoy life, OC and confuse a BG!
