I believe that guns should be carried concealed!

I don’t like the old-west aspect of people, carrying a gun on their hip.

But I do like the idea that miscreants don’t know who might have a 9mm under their skirt or in their pocket!

There’s a lot to be said for the element of surprise.

the legal definition of ‘concealed’ is different from what we would think.

‘concealed’ means not even an outline discernible...

Folks should have the option of both; ‘concealed’ or ‘open’.

I totally agree.
Having a weapon in plane sight, in my mind, will bring a lot of grief in the long run.
You had better be aware of who is around you.
It brings a lot of unwanted attention, I believe

The poll says “in public” so I guess it means concealed or open.

I personally would not open carry but I have no problem if people do. I just think concealed carry gives me the edge.

The poll didn’t say anything about open carry. It just asked about carrying guns in public. For instance, concealed carry is carrying guns in public.

while i prefer to carry concealed its ones right to open carry if he/she wants to, in certain situations having your protection exposed is a better deterrent

So you favor gun control in that you would allow people to bear arms only as long as they hide it or do it in private?

Is that your position?

Consider the thought that if a would be criminal sees several people open carrying he still has to ask himself, "How many are carrying that I don't see?"
