The Open Carry Argument

I don't want the bad guy knowing he is in the wrong place.

You should read this - It's really good.

Right, 'cause if the bad guy behaves himself knowing that you're armed, it totally ruins your opportunity to get into a gun fight and shoot him.

I read on INGO that OC'ers are just out looking for gunfights... so it must be true right?

The fail...it hurts...

That's is good info. I haven't thought about it in the light presented. While this may be beating a dead horse for all the older members I'm glad it was in the cath e posting section and easy to find. Thanks op for the post.

I'm sure once he found out you'd tell him.

It's that tactical element of surprise. You know, right?.

Did you read the OP? Most people don't notice OC because people are so into their own little world rather than keep the eyes opened.

How often have OCers been targeted vs CCers?

Don't know the answer to that question, however I just read this... https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...-open-carry-right-robbed-gun-he-carrying.html

Yup, been posted before. However, that's 1 case. I read somewhere that over 1,200 times a day a CC draws a firearm for self defense. So 1 vs 1,200x a day of OC vs CC being targeted...

There is a difference between being targeted because you are carrying and drawing your gun because you were targeted. See this is why I rarely look at the OC vs CC thing.

If you are CCing, how does the criminal know if you are carrying or not? You are more likely going to be targeted if you are CCing than OC. Did you read the first post?

As I've stated before, you cant say a particular decision you've made was good or bad until your viewing your decisions in hindsight. OC and CC both have possible good and bad repercussions.

OC or CC? Well, life's a gamble...JFC

I live on a dirt road down from a subdivision so we get traffic every once in a while. I typically OC when I walk the dogs. Never been confronted about it. That's the only instance I will open carry unless I'm in the truck and know I won't be going anywhere public.

What is your reasoning behind CCing everywhere else?

That gives him 50 posts. My guess is he's headed to the classifieds...18 posts in the last day and a big ramp up this afternoon.

Some people gotta have something to argue about, or the world will fall apart...
