There is less of a chance you will ever need to pull it out if you OC as BG’s like easy marks.
Do you honestly believe they will go after me, who OC’s?
Or someone like you who appears to be unarmed?
That's one way to look at it, and I'm all for you open carrying. But another way of looking at it is, some dirtbag with a $75 .25 caliber Raven might cap you in the back of the head point blank to get the $750 .40 caliber you are advertising.
Say you are at a public venue, walking around for a while. A dozen or more criminals might covet your piece, and decide to follow you into the public men's room, 30 seconds behind. While you're unzipping, BANG, from behind.
Sure, I know, your Magic Ninja Powers mean you have 360* vision, 24/7, so it could NEVER happen.
I love the change that has taken place on FR!
There used to be a small crowd here that pushed OC... everyone else was in the "a unconcealed weapon is a death wish" crowd.
I have watched with glee as the transformation started taking place throughout the United States, when people would finally say enough to "political correctness" and grab their Rights back... I even like to think that I helped to accelerate the cause, after we got band of idiotic "open carry" advocates to stand in a field outside of D.C. and announce that no more infringements would be tolerated... we hereby reclaim our Rights.
I do not surrender my "Rights" because another citizen may "feel" one way or the other about how I practice them.
