And if you are going to just say "grow some balls", that's not helpful.
I just made a new leather avenger-style holster and would like to show it off. I also understand that if every person carrying a gun carried openly, then public perception (especially after seeing nobody getting shot and nobody threatening anyone) would change for the better.
Here's what's holding me back:
1. I have to carry pepper-spray when open-carrying so I can escalate force of necessary - at least that's how I feel.
2. I don't like intimidating people unnecessarily.
3. I don't like the YouTube videos where people bait cops just to make the video interesting. AZ is a Constitutional Carry state, but I like our cops.
4. I have been fired for having a gun in my vehicle. I tried to sue, but my attorney was less than enthusiastic.
5. I don't want to have to disarm and be defenseless just to go into Costco. (If they don't know, they don't say anything.) Ya - Costco forbids weapons, even though they don't have it posted.
So - take those apart and convince me why open-carrying when I can would be helpful, good, right, etc.
