The Open Carry Argument

[Rhoadmar]

Open carry just draws out the bad in people. Whats the point of open carry?

Open carrying since 1/2013. No bad yet.

If this is true, I need to open carry more. I have a lot of bad in me that I need drawn out.

I think he's misunderstood. I assume that he means that open carry draws out the bad not from the person open carrying, but from the people who are afraid of guns and/or think they have any business telling the open carrier how he should choose to exercise his natural rights.

Oddly enough, I was only bad until I started carrying openly. Open carry helped to make me a better person.

This thread just brings out the nonsense in people.

My intentional assumption of the opposite was a lot funnier.

Yes "chipbennett" that was my point. Thanks

Meh. their "badness" is their problem, not mine.

Open carry does tend to bring out the 'best' in your average criminals who are looking for easy victims.

 

[eldirector]

Short skirts "bring out the badness" as well. That hasn't stopped ATM.

Seriously, criminals are always on their best behavior when they see me armed. I am not the sort of mark they tend to select.

I carry at 4:30 iwb. A hybrid holster definitely makes it more
comfortable. Tried other holsters,but not as comfortable

Ha, I'm tracking you now. I read that completely the opposite of what you meant.

Only the ones with the really high fees.

That essay is the best set of facts regarding open carry that I have seen. Great logic, and something that I think everyone needs to read if they have a problem with OC.

Now, as far as the posts on the other 283 pages...I can't say how good they are. Based on the last couple posts about short skirts...

Wait there is an essay laying out a logical argument, what is next a FAQ?

Wait there is a sarcastic comment reprimanding a newer INGO member? What's next, a color of font to display sarcasm?
