Open carry should be legal for all law-abiding Americans, but it is not always prudent. Anyone with open carry should also have something concealed, since they have a responsibility to ensure that a criminal doesn’t get away with their gun like these thugs did.

“Open carry should be legal for all law-abiding Americans, but it is not always prudent. Anyone with open carry should also have something concealed, since they have a responsibility to ensure that a criminal doesn’t get away with their gun like these thugs did.”

Carrying for ‘79. First as a citizen, and professionally for 31 years.

The only time I would ‘open carry’, is when I draw on a threat. Advantage is compromised when the bad guy knows what I gots, and where it is: HE takes the advantage of stealth or deception in an approach.

On the job, open carry is required in uniform; in plainclothes, I carry concealed for obvious reasons....I have the advantage of stealth and deception.

Of more consistent concern to me than carrying one firearm, is carrying two. And comfort is difficult. KISS

Makes no sense to open carry IMHO.
YMMV
