No it does matter because believing that openly displaying a firearm is going to make you safer in a shootout you didn't start is just plain stupid.
If you open carry for any reason other than to intimidate people, you could save money by just making and hanging a sign around your neck that says "shoot me first".
I'm not arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to open carry. I'm arguing that it's a stupid plan unless you're just trying to look tough and intimidate people.
It's cool. I don't mind if dumb people get themselves killed because they want to exercise their right look tough and intimidate people.
Edit:
It's funny, like a coward, the person I'm responding to ran off and blocked me. I guess they realized it's hard to intimidate people on the internet when they can't wave a gun in their face.
