The Open Carry Argument

[Hayseed_40]

Likewise.

you two get a room...

 

[Hoosierdood]

Thanks for the stimulating discussion.

Likewise.

NO...NO...NO... I'm afraid that we can't leave this discussion on such friendly terms. It just isn't right. We need more drama! Oh, I know...


OCers are a bunch of cowboys compensating for something.


CCers are a bunch of narrow minded bullies.




Discuss...

Yep, as I've said before, I find these cordial, gentlemanly discussions to be completely devoid of what I came here for. I came here for an argument (and abuse, of course).

No you didn't, you Douchebag!

JBT! You wouldn't know OC from a hole in the ground! What an idiot!






There. Is that better?



To the mods:

Don't ban me, bro!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

There is conclusive evidence to show that OC is so much cooler than CC.

Citations? Sources? Screw that jazz.

(oc rocks.)

I don't know man. That brought up some good points towards OC but in my opinion it draws un-needed attention to oneself. And I mean complacency (spelt wrong probably) sets in no matter how experienced you are and if 2 or 3 guys want your gun it's gonna be a hard pressed battle to draw it and fire once they've jumped you and are grabbing for it. But like I said, good points in that post, gives a new perspective to the idea. I'll have to think it all over.

If 2 or 3 guys jump you for your wallet I'd like to see you pull your gun from concealment and engage them. They would probably take your gun too while your were on the ground unconscious. They would have no determent because they would have no idea you were actually armed.

The fact is you can never prepare for everything and even if you ARE prepared that is no guarantee that you will prevail. Just go with what feels best and prepare accordingly.

Very true. Food for thought.

Open carry

I opt for concealed carry & keep em guessing. If I open carry, I might tip my hand?

When your holding 4 aces why worry about tipping your hand? That way no one mistakenly thinks you are "bluffing".

Feigning weakness to encourage others to bet against you is a tactic normally reserved for games such as poker.

Oh yeah?! Well... I think OC is for sissy-faced jack-wagons that have to feel tough.. When in reality, a little 5 year old girl could take their weapon and kill them all. That is, if the gun doesn't jump out of the OC holster and go on a rampage of its own!

 

[GBuck]

^^I may be missing some purple somewhere...

 

[ATM]

I won't play cards with 5 year old girls.

I've carried open a lot lately but there is still something to be said for CC. At this point my pistol feels like it is hanging out there screaming, "Grab me." Today I OC a little because of the chilly weather but used a newer holster that I bought for carrying a G23 or G19 with a weapon light. It is open on the back so the light can protrude out of the holster. The nice thing about it is it has two levels of retention: A snap over the trigger guard and it needs a sharp down and rear motion to pull the pistol. It is virtually impossible to pull the gun straight up and out.

This is a general observation, and not aimed at you particularly, but to stir up two pots at the same time:

I am somewhat amused that Glock owners hate the 1911, because they are afraid that they will forget to disengage the safety in a moment of stress, but then want a holster that requires a manual of arms merely to draw.

Or you can do This because not all Glock owners are afraid to Lock their Cocks.

What Glock has a factory safety?
