That last table did not work well. This should be clearer:

Open Carry Advantages

Tactical - Faster Draw, tactical deterrence, larger handguns easier to carry

Strategic - Armed Citizens a visible presence

Social - Normalize Rights and Defense

Disadvantages

Tactical - Less surprise

Strategic - Carriers are identifiable

Social - Can draw unwanted attention

Concealed Carry Advantages

Tactical - Surprise

Strategic - Uncertainty about who is armed creates deterrence

Social - Does not draw unwanted attention

Disadvantages

Tactical - Loss of tactical deterrence, slower draw, larger handguns more difficult

Strategic - Presence of armed citizens is uncertain

Social - Less normalization of rights and defense

Here it is as a crude HTML table:

		OPEN CARRY		CONCEALED CARRY
ADVANTAGES
	TACTICAL	Faster Draw, tactical deterrence		Greater surprise
	STRATEGIC	Armed Citizens a visible presence		Uncertainty about who might be carrying
	SOCIAL	Normalize Rights and Defense		Does not draw attention to yourself
DIS- ADVANTAGES
	TACTICAL	Less surprise		Slower Draw
	STRATEGIC	Carriers are identifiable		Armed citizens not identified
	SOCIAL	Can draw unwanted attention		Does less to normalize rights and defense

I'll "pretty up" the HTML code and FReepmail it to you so you can see what it looks like in HTML.

Having so many categories and sub-categories ("Tactical", etc.) made it a bit of a challenge...
