The only problem with open carry at the mall is that you will be the first one that the shooter takes out.
Naw most people never noticed a open carrier to begain with.
I can't believe there wasn't one person in the vicinity who had a firearm.
I agree with that only in part. if enough open carry is seen, these attention seeking perps won’t try it as often.Open carry is fine, and ought to be legal everywhere, but I will still carry concealed for just the reason you state. On the other hand, open carry deployment is almost always faster. Each to his own, i suppose.
Post even a single story where what you describe has happened.
It never has.
