And yet Americans are more comfortable with gun ownership. As long as the folks carrying are concealed carriers. A bit of disfunction on both sides there.
Yet we have significant numbers of people, on this forum, complaining about how bad it is for Americans to open carry.
It’s a tactical issue. A bad guy who sees a citizen open carrying knows who to take out first.
A bad guy who knows there are citizens with CCW’s everywhere he goes will hesitate; dying in a hail of bullets is not his fondest wish.
Yeah, there are busybody liberals who call 911 on anyone open carrying hoping for a SWAT response. I would prefer to keep both bad guys and liberals guessing. Or are they the same?
