“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 can show you hundreds of stories of 0eople carry concelead getting attacked.
But people who OC and are attacked? That is as rare as an honest liberal.
Criminals are not stupid. They are not going to attack someone who is carrying a gun and knows how to use it.
