Open Carry ? not so much!
The weapon on that tiny lady is at a ruthless criminals disposal, she would be easily overpowered. This is inviting a dangerous situation.
I personally never want anyone to know I am armed.
A little lady wearing a 45 on her hip has Zero tactical advantage.
It’s dumb!
I agree. Concealed carry is always a better deterrant. I’d also worry, if this lady slips on wet spot on the floor, and left her weapon off safety.........
Not so dumb. The article doesn't identify the person or her location.
Perhaps she practices martial arts, and simply carries the firearm to keep thugs from trying something stupid, wherein she has to apply the ninja death touch®, or some such immediate termination technique.
I've trained many such people, and many of those appear less intimidating than this lady, with or without the firearm.
I agree, the obviousness is not in her favor. If everyone or a good percentage were also open carrying, the specter would not be as precarious. Two perps could take her weapon all too easily in a store like WalMart. Now if she wants to go armed, she should consider an assortment of weaponry, practice with them all and choose which is most appropriate to what she will be wearing and what she will be doing when she leaves home. And she really doesn’t need to be open carrying when it is the exception in her community. There are so many excellent systems for concealed carry available ... and there should be no ‘ask the nanny state for permission to be armed at all times’.
