Several of our instructors have all told us the same thing.
You want to be a target?
Put that damn Glock sticker or S&W sticker on your car.
Wear that gun outside & open carry like a show-off.
You’ll be the one they take out first and all that “ooh-rah” you thought you had will bleed out of you as your life ends.
Being the gray man is always best. Always.
ROFL !
Thanks for the
Graphic,
Gray man It Is.
In some of the small towns in Arizona, IIRC, an awful lot of folks open carry - probably have been doing it for decades. If you're visiting, you might stand out more by NOT having a handgun visible (of course, you stick out like a sore thumb anyway, because everybody knows each other, and nobody knows you ;^).
I don't do it myself, but I enjoy seeing folks open carry - it reminds me that I'm lucky enough to be living in a Free State, rather than a place Idi Amin might love, like California or New York...
