Greetings gun-toters!
I'm only a couple of weeks away from receiving my CCH/W permit so I can buy a handgun in NC without any questions asked and as many as I want at one time. So, I've been reading posts and post of you guys seem to open carry large caliber [to me which is anything above .380] handguns. But what about the smaller ones? Walther PPK, Kel-Tec, North American, (snicker--> Raven), or any more easily concealed firearm. And with that I got some contemplation going...
Does the bigger gun equate to a bigger threat?
Average clean-cut citizen with a 1911 or Coly Python on his hip. Does the attention this person attract less than someone who has a... Let's try some hyperbole... Average clean-cut citizen, with a Colt Anaconda/Bren-Ten/ Wildey Mag/Desert Eagle on his hip. Are they perceived to be a bigger threat than the first citizen?
Now let's downscale...
Average clean-cut citizen with say... A Bersa Thunder .380 [more or less a superior Walther clone] or a Ruger LTC say on their hip or shoulder holster. Would they be perceived to be a smaller threat because of the size of their gun?
i really don't know and i want to hear from you guys, the experts at this forum. And what is a forum? A sizable nugget of information! But enough text, have at it!
