I agree. May as well hold a big sign up saying...hey, look at me. My wife and our friends would feel very uncomfortable if I were to carry openly when we went out. I have no desire to upset my friends just because I can. If concealed carry without a permit were allowed, that’s different.
That's fine, that's why we have also fought for concealed carry.
However, I hope I do get noticed when I openly carry. I hope I teach people that civilians can own firearms legally and responsibly, without incident. I hope I teach criminals to move on to the next victim, that I won't be an easy target.
If you want to blend in with society, you're right, open carry is not for you.
I’m looking forward to the day the new law in AZ takes effect that allows me to carry concealed without having to register with our State masters. 90 days from tomorrow. I’m going shopping for a nice shoulder holster....
