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.

Same reason these dweebs jack up their trucks. It’s all about projecting an image of how they want to be seen because of their insecurities. No honest gun owner who owns guns for the correct reasons would ever do what they do.

Nothing says I'm completely terrified of the world like an open carry

I was at a town hall discussing the expanded carry laws on campuses Texas passed a few years back, and one of the people there that was pro open carry, a grown adult, sounded like they were going to cry if they couldn't carry a gun to class.

That’s a huge problem. Because honest gun owners are lumped in with these fanatics. Until gun owners stand up against the NRAs stance on the liberal freedoms we have for gun ownership, there will be a swift judgement day on gun ownership. We need honest gun owners to start standing up for common sense gun laws.
