Guess I'm an a**hole .. eh...what can you do?
His vids are starting to get old though , he should mix it up with some different people ...
Do both is my motto
I invited him here via facebook.
I love your videos. As far as open carry, I think you have some misconceptions, I OC daily, it doesn't scare people, I have been thanked by many, and it doesn't make you a target. In some situations, open carry is actually required by law. I would love for you to come to our forum and discuss this with some of the most experienced and well educated members of the firearms community. Open carry is very active in Michigan, and many of us would like to hear from you on the subject. You might learn something, or teach us something. If your local laws allow, maybe you should try it out for yourself. My screen name is as it is on youtube, stainless1911, hope to see you there.

it doesn't scare people? if he listens to your audio on the youtube screen name you gave him, he might think otherwise. don't you have a bunch of cops telling you you're scaring people?
correct area for discussion
i don't either... just saying that you might be helping to prove him right if he checks out your vidsI dont really believe the cops who say Im scaring people, I have enough real time experience to disprove this.
+1... Adding OC to your repertoire gives you more flexibility... don't have to dress around your firearm... can carry in more places.... induces conversations about firearms and carry that you never would have had.... shows people it's ok for normal people to carry.... faster draw.... one handed draw... less chance of snags... deterrent value... etc...
FPS's video is pretty close minded.
The whole "you will get shot first" argument is such total BS, let alone that it's never happened, but wow... someone busts in, you blade strong side away from them... voila, they're not going to see your firearm.
A robber/thief does not a murderer make. Just because someone is willing to threaten violence to get theri $150 out of the till doesn't mean they will actually kill someone... if they were willing to just out and out kill someone why would they leave a live witness to the crime? They would just kill the clerk and everyone in the store... they don't because they're not murderers. They're party story robbers... BIIIIIIG difference.
They also know that the cops aren't going to hunt as hard for the quickie mart robber as they would for a murderer.
People who use that logic clearly aren't thinking things all the way through.

Me, personally, when faced with both types, I could not tell the difference. I'm going to have to assume they are carrying a gun for a reason, not for a conversation piece.
^ What ShadowBear said. I'll avoid it if I can, but if theres cause for an SD shooting, there prolly isn't the time to second guess the intentions of someone who has apparently already lost it.
