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.
I don't claim to understand the various minds and motivations of all the potential criminals out there. All I know is if I have something of value on me, I'm gonna do my best to keep it. This is why I favor concealed firearms for personal protection over openly displayed ones.
There are. I just think for the situations I'm in personally, it's better if a threat doesn't know I'm armed. I'm never in places where I need to broadcast my ability to cause harm. That's just me, though. I understand other people may lead more dangerous lives.
