I am a gun owner, have a CHL, totally support the 2nd Amendment, and support open carry. But, just because it is legal to open carry doesn’t make it mandatory, and, to me, certainly doesn’t make it wise to do so.

If I’m anywhere, even in a gun store, and I see someone carrying openly, it makes me nervous because I don’t always know if they’re friend or foe.

So, why would I use MY right to open carry to make someone else uncomfortable?

I’ll just continue to carry concealed and no one will ever know, unless a foe threatens me or someone nearby.

Very well spoken. I agree 100%. OC may be legal but it tends to be ‘too in your face’. CC expands your options when only you know that you are carrying.

Obviously no experience with 107 degrees in the shade.

every gun store i have been in in Colorado does not allow open carry. you can conceal carry or you can have your weapon cased.
