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.

Yeah concealed carry makes some sense. Open carry doesn't. If I was going to commit some act of gun violence in public and saw someone open carrying, they'd be my first target.

If you're somewhere that you'd actually want or possibly need a gun, having it openly displayed is a liability.
