You say this like there's an absolute universal standard against which every human who chooses to carry will use in determine whether to OC or CC. Are you that daft? That's like me saying that the benefits to driving an eight thousand pound crew cab superduty far outweigh the benefits of a passenger sedan....unless of course you want to park in a garage in downtown Indy with a 6' clearance, want to get more than 15-18mpg, are afraid of large vehicles, don't want to $.40 more per gallon of fuel. So, no, the benefits of CC do not outweigh the benefits of OC. They only do that for you based on your priorities and personal preferences.the benefits of concealed carry far outweigh the benefits of open carry.
So what you're saying is that people who don't do it your way aren't fit to do it at all? Arrogant much?I've seen many people HERE (in the OC vs CC thread) state that they enjoy strangers coming to ask them about their gun. I've met MANY people who OC who don't really have any business carrying in the first place. A lot of times it is evident by attitude, gear selection (uncle mikes softy, fobus, etc), the way they handle their firearm, etc. It's pretty clear. Can I prove it in black and white by reading their minds? Obviously not, but give me a break. If that's what you need, this further proves my point of the types of arguments that OC'ers hang on to.
If you look at the tactical advantages of CC, they so FAR outweigh the benefits of OC it's not even funny. Therefore it's pretty reasonable to deduce that there are other motives present, when they shouldn't be. Survival is about fitting in, why someone would want to stand out in the crowd is far beyond my comprehension.
That's what I think of your posts.
The only thing telling is your rudimentary grasp of logic.I've been asked to provide pros, I have. I've yet to see one pro for OC. Telling.
That would matter to me if I gave damn what others thought.I've provided numerous reputable people advising CC over OC, I've yet to see the opposite. Telling.
I bet you don't either because most OCers recognize your weaksauce BS for what it is. Why bother answering a question which is based on a completely fallacious premise in the first place? Particularly when it's so much more fun to point out the absurdity of your thought process.I bet I don't get answers to either of these.
Iknowright. I thought you would have recognized your inferiority sooner and given up. Props for perseverance, but you're starting to take it to the "doing the same thing and expecting different results" level.But I have to prove it to you? I answer your question, and I get no facts back? Laughable. Typical. I'm a bigot and closed minded?
and for the record, ALL banks do not allow guns. You're credibility is now shot as well.
This is unreal.
Can you cite the IC for that? I was sure that factor was something each person got to decide for herself, but you seem pretty sure about the infallibility of it. I just want to make sure there aren't any other absolutes that I need to know about.Comfort has no merit in carrying a gun imo. Don't carry if you want to be comfortable.
For you it might be. It is not for me.AIWB is faster.
A sample size of n=1 is not evidence. Moreover, the example you provided is not analogous to the one you used to justify your claim. Being targeted specifically FOR the firearm is not the same as being targeted for murder because you have a firearm.I've addressed this earlier. To sum it up, prove it like you've asked me to? I just showed you evidence of how it wasn't a deterrent, but the REASON the guy was attacked.
Does it not also put you at risk of being the first person attacked or make you stick out like a sore thumb in a stick situation?
There are. Without CC we OCers wouldn't have idiotic threads like this to keep us entertained.There are no real cons to CC.
