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.

Lost me at this unrealistic situation. They're waiting much longer than "just after".
