I think SDA is fine. Pushing for Open Carry is pushing it too far. (Yeah, I know it’s guaranteed by the Constitution), but open carry is nothing but Gun Bling ... “hey look at me, I’ve got a gun” ... it has nothing to do with “self defense” and in most cases, it is not a deterrent, but turns you into a target ... (get the guy with the gun first). It threatens the non-gun people and incites them. I’d rather walk among them concealed with my 357 as I do now ... walking right past most “no-gun-zone signs too, try that with open carry.” I have better self-defense protection concealed.

On this subject I am pro-choice. I respect your right to make your own decisions in this matter; I do hope that you will in turn respect my right to carry as I choose and as the situation warrants.

>>open carry is nothing but Gun Bling<<

...unless of course you're an old man or a 105lbs woman pumping gas at 11pm at night and there is a predator a couple of pumps over contemplating rape or a thumpin.

The thug is watching you, about to make his move, you then turn to place the pump nozzle back into it's holder and the thug notices you're sporting a Glock 9mm on your side.

Perhaps he'd be convinced to abandon his plans rather than suck oxygen through the hole in his chest. Juss sayin.

Just some food for thought. Concealed carry is extremely restricting in a split second situation.
