I don't like concealed carry.
I'd much prefer open carry.
I've never understood that convoluted logic.

I understand your feelings, but there are cases of individuals being ambushed who open carry.

One of the cool things about open carry is that the bad guy never knows who's got the piece. Thus, the gentler ones in society garner some benefit.

"there are cases of individuals being ambushed who open carry."

Yeah, I had all the reasons explained to me in the classes, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
The logic is that if a bad guy is going to rob a grocery store and sees someone carrying, he nails him first, but if twenty people are openly carrying, he won't try to rob it in the first place.
Another argument was that if a bad guy sees someone carrying, he takes him out just because he's carrying.

No, sorry. This looks like a fabrication of excuses because that's the way the law reads.
To me, it's still not logical.

'Course, I'd much rather have concealed carry than no carry!
