There is a discussion over on the forum of open carry. It was merely a question of preference that turned into a debate...feel free to join in!

No thanks, I'm on enough forums as it is. And to tell you the truth, I don't give a tinker's damn about the FJ Cruiser or any other foreign vehicle. Heck, they ain't even made by Toyota.

Edit: Ask one of them to find one instance where a gun was grabbed and used against the carrier. I only remember one and itwas strictly a gun theft.

A lot of violent prisoners were asked what they feared more, a policeman or an armed victim. About 70% said an armed victim.

This is just my personal experience but it seems to me that a lot of people against open carry are afraid to provocative. They'd rather hide their status as armed citizens for whatever reason. It has absolutely nothing to do with tactical whatever.

How many of these people citing tactical reasons for carrying concealed instead of openly slice the pie when they enter a room or change their daily routes to and from work? It's not tactical to walk out in the open, but these people don't run from cover to cover on their way from the car to the super market.

If they want to carry concealed then let them but they don't need to make up weak arguments against open carry. I'd have more respect for them if they'd just come out and say they're too shy or they don't like the attention.
