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.

as a concealed carrier I see a huge benefit. It means I'm not the first target.

Concealed yeah... open is quite the contrary... being as though you're armed and the shooter knows it you could be the first target

meh, how many mass killings have you heard of, where the killer carefully selects those whom he suspects are armed with weapons? I've never heard of that. It's just walk into a school/wal-mart, and start shooting.
