That was one of the points I made in my first post. If someone has the old hog leg strapped on for all the world to see, if all hell breaks loose, they are the first one that's going to hit the dirt. If it's legal, I support their right to open carry, but with that said, it takes away any advantage they would of had by concealing. |

"To the OP’s point, I was in line at a Chipolte a few years back. Restaurant was busy, line was long and there was some douchey redneck kid in front of me with his GF that had his gun on his hip with his tshirt untucked everywhere but the gun side where it was tucked behind so the world could see it. He looked about 16 but I imagine he was maybe a bit older. He was clearly making a point to let everyone SEE his gun and was generally just acting like a teenage turd. It made plenty of people around uncomfortable, clearly. "
You should have pulled his gun, dropped the mag, emptied the chamber, then when he spun around hand him the sidearm and ask him, "are you really that flippin' stupid?" I wouldn't have done it, but I'd like to imagine it happening. |

Any smart shooter will look for their advantages and threats prior to acting on their shooting. An open carry person is the 1st threat they will see. There’s a reason off duty cops don’t open carry. |

You're assuming that the offender will be smart/rational. Sometimes, often, they aren't. There are countless recorded incidents of apparently reeruned shooters walking right past armed security guards and opening fire on unarmed targets with the armed security behind them. Of course, assuming they're idiots isn't the best idea either. |

Tactical advantage.
