HAHAHA! OK, that was funny!
I agree that open carry is the best defensive posture, but in the real world it is best used when actually being attacked.
I see it more like this:
I agree with the first part of your statement, but not the second. I think we'd all be better off if many more people carried openly. There is strength in numbers, and numbers are a deterrent. The general reluctance we have to open carry is generally just a matter of conditioning. More folks carrying openly will eventually break that conditioning down. JMHO.
