I don’t pretend to know a lot about guns. We have them, I go to the range with hubby now and then, of course we support 2A, etc. One thing I’ve never understood is conceal vs open carry. Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems to make much more sense (and safer?) to have open carry- no “surprises”. For women, especially.
The surprise factor is a big benefit.
Concealed, you can walk into stores and eateries and not get told “get out, we don’t like guns here.
When there are lots of CCWs, robbers have to worry more, more uncertainty.
With open carry,you have to worry that some thug who wants a gun will come up behind you, bash you over the head, and take yours.
Disagree - makes for a more polite society if one just assumes everybody else is armed. They don’t need to see what you may have.
Very easy to overpower a woman and take her gun away from her. Concealed is better I think.
