Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying law-abiding people that conceal carry are criminals. Or shouldn’t conceal carry when to them, it makes reasonable sense to. I believe in certain cases, depending where I’m going and such, it would be more advantageous for me to be carrying concealed.
I just point this out this way because no criminal open carries. Police open carry. People are used to seeing ‘good guys’ open carry. All they have to have click in their head is that law-abiding citizens that open carry are also the ‘good guys’. They would be concealed or open carrying.
The other problem with concealed carry is when you pull a gun out from its concealed position, others that don’t know what’s going on around you don’t have any instinctual clue you’re one of the good guys. When crap goes down, thugs pull out their concealed guns. When crap goes down, good guys like cops remove their open carry weapons.
Yup, that's what I meant, sorry. I definitely support those who wish to conceal carry instead of open carry. I also conceal carry depending on the situation. Plus, when I visit NY daily, I have no choice, I must conceal carry.
