Double yes!
Absolutely . . . next question.
A well armed, educated, safe society is an armed society.
Quite frankly: yes!
With the faggots around the world pushing their sodomite agenda and bandying about as a “right” they want “upheld,” a true “right” given to us by GOD, the right to armed self-defense, is constantly abridged and derided as unnecessary among “civilized nations.”
I promote the open carrying of firearms and wish to see it universally adopted and adhered to across the nation. The faggots can push their pederasty on the public in the name of “fairness,” but law-abiding Americans can’t carry a weapon for their protection? GTFO!
It used to be that carrying a concealed weapon was a sign of a coward and a criminal. Now we have to be “licensed” to do so. Meanwhile, it was understood and universally acceptable to carrying a pistol on one’s hip in full and open view of the world, and we were a much politer society as a whole. What changed?
It wouldn’t make me feel any safer than my concealed weapon already does. Ought to be legal. I wouldn’t do it, though ... prefer to conceal. I don’t need the attention.

DEFINITELY!
In a place where law and order are still the lay of the land, yes.
In a place where societal norms have broken down, it probably wouldn’t.
Being able to open carry probably wouldn’t keep you safe in an inner city setting. There’s simply too many non-law and order people around. You would be outnumbered, and could be ambushed at will.
Just my two cents worth...
That sign is posted at a gun store in Medford, OR, is that where you got it?
Yes.
Open. Concealed. Both. As long as we are as well armed as those trying to victimize us. At least then we’ll have a fighting chance.
I will find out July 1st when Mississippi goes open carry. Would like to find a double holster with two six shooters in it, but that might be overkill.
No. We need to be honest and not just foment bluster. Open carry would be disruptive. Whether you like it or not, some people are just not comfortable seeing people walk around armed. They will never be comfortable. The people who conceal carry will understand this.
Open carry makes YOU the instant mark, especially in a bad situation. I, for one, do not want this. I do not want bad guys to know if I’m carrying, period.
Open carry may be the law in some states, but it is not practical and would be socially disruptive.
thanx, nice work
Lived in Israel 10 years. Quickly got used to seeing people with machine guns on city busses and in movie theators and malls...
Quickly got so I felt a lot better seeing them there than not.
I guess every resident from 1492 to about 1900 quaked in their boots then because we were armed....
I mostly open carry when I’m visiting Arizona. For me, it’s more comfortable getting in and out of a car wearing an OWB holster. If I need to cover it up for some reason, I pull my XL-size t-shirt over it. It prints badly, but works well enough for temporary concealment. For real concealment, I’ll pocket carry a smaller gun or go AIWB (appendix, inside-the-waistband holster carry).
However, I have never had a problem while open carrying in AZ (Phoenix, Sedona, Prescott) and most people don’t even bat an eye.
I really appreciate having the choice to open or conceal carry at my discretion (in AZ that is).
I have no problem with open carry by citizens.
It is a visible deterrent to crime, the same as a badge and gun carried by LEO’s.
Unfortunately, Law Enforcement cannot be everywhere to prevent crime and clearly their focus these day is on revenue and after action reports.
Open and armed citizenry would curtail crime as each armed citizen becomes a 1st responder, on scene long before LEO, Fire Dept or Ambulance.
An openly armed citizen could and would prevent violent crime. Either total prevention or mitigation against further violence.
They would also be able to render 1st aid or provide a more secure environment for others to give aid.
Further, they could hold offenders for LEO’s, who could then investigate and build a case for prosecution.
No, I got no problem with open carry and really do believe we would be a safer society.
I own a business and have this sign in my window. If you’re scared knowing there might be weapons in my store, I don’t want your business.
I eat at home in the presence of firearms all the time.
It isn’t like they are going to get a mind of their own.
Abso frickin’ TIVELY !!!
