Why open carry and scare people? That is not very smart. Just conceal carry and be ready.

.....”Recently Walmart banned a man from all of their stores’ nationwide for open carrying in a Kentucky Walmart after someone called the police to say that an armed man was inside the store acting suspiciously.” .....exactly why I have the right, but wisely choose not, to open carry anywhere...! this is known as SWATting, if I am correct.... some foaming-at-the-mouth anti-gun crusader sees an opportunity to make up a phony story about “acting suspiciously” and calls the cops, who respond with a SWAT team.... yeah; carry concealed; you may have the right to carry open, but it is not always prudent to do so.....

“Why open carry and scare people? That is not very smart.”

There are those that claim just because it’s legal that they can and will do it as it’s a 2nd A right. I fully agree with them. But I also agree with you in that it’s not very smart. It’s inviting trouble and unwarranted attention. Which is why I suspect this guy did it, to get attention. If that’s not the case, then like you said, “not very smart”.

Carrying concealed keeps one from getting unwanted attention while maintaining an element of surprise for a potential dangerous attacker.

I am a fan of concealed carry because I’m not into confrontation. However if open carry is legal and a person wants to do it I am also a fan. If enough people do it , then seeing a gun won’t be a big deal. When you see someone in uniform open carrying do you get worried? I don’t get worried when I see someone openly carrying unless it’s an AK-47 with a 30 round magazine. Then my Spidey Senses are alert.

"Why open carry and scare people? That is not very smart. Just conceal carry and be ready."

It is a political and educational action. Just maybe, if open carry was more common, fewer people would sh*t their pants at the sight. It is the same kind of "political theater" that the left indulges in oh-so-frequently.

Yes, concealed carry is better from a tactical standpoint, but this isn't about tactics...it's about politics.

I applaud any and all who open carry. THEY are the heirs of 1776.

Exactly. We've just passed Constitutional Carry here and we've got some boob who, literally, likes to take his AR to parks where people take their pets and where moms take their children.

He calls it a 2nd Amendment "audit", whatever that's supposed to mean. And then he's all offended when someone calls the police and they try to engage him in dialogue.

He's an idiot and idiots like him will do more to push people from the middle to the left. If Walmart says no open carry, I have no problem with that. For me, concealed means concealed.

Because that is the only way many people will ever see a gun on the hip of a law abiding citizen.

I OC who ever I can. I did tonight to the local Farmers Market and few people even notice.
