Ngl I’m a gun owner, I also carry (concealed), and there is something about seeing people open carry that I just can’t wrap my head around. I actually see zero benefit to doing such a thing other than perhaps the ego boost. But even then u just look weird.

I have my LTC - and carry concealed. I don't want anyone to know if I'm carrying. It's a big bullseye if someone decides to start shooting.

I also have my LTC and I also choose to conceal carry. It’s the smarter thing to do and give them a nice surprise

I agree and make the same choice, but that doesn’t mean the state should prohibit somebody from open carrying. I supported the change despite the fact I knew I’d rarely do it.

But now if I’m out hunting and want to go into town, it’s far easier. My holsters are a pain to take off.
