“Every single instructor of mine has advised that “open-carry” means visible target.

It defies even the most basic Art of War concept of concealment and reveals your “fog of war” to everybody.”

Every single instructor of yours needs to get over their belief in such myths.

We’ve had open carry here in Michigan for quite a while now. Aside from a few swatters and a shrinking number of overzealous cops there have been few problems. Certainly no evidence of any open carriers being targeted by a criminal.

One nice thing about open carry is that it kills the problem of accidental exposure of a concealed firearm. Detroit firearms instructor Rick Ector carries both concealed and openly depending on the situation. He says he’s never had to fire his weapon but has exposed it to deter thugs who were stalking him.
