Open carry is more politically effective than concealed carry.

Yeah, whatever.

How one carries a firearm is a highly personal decision. When we traveled to New Orleans from Illinois last year open carry was the only option available to me. Illinois CCLs are not valid in Louisiana and they will not issue LA permits to non residents.

We stayed at a VRBO in the Lower Ninth and there was no way I was going about unarmed there. So I used the only option I could, legally speaking. I carried a Springfield XDS in .45 in a retention holster plainly displayed on my strong side.

I’ve grown very tired of the concealed vs open carry argument. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Neither is perfect. Nothing in this world is.

So rather than engaging in snarky criticism over another persons choice we should be supporting each other in how we choose to exercise a fundamental God given Civil Right.
