I’m Not A Fan of Open Carry - This Is Why

[dathreaper]

Open carry a fake gun, conceal carry the real one 💡

[GGT]

I agree 100%. I ONLY open carry at the range. CCW legally, all other times.

When I’m in a city I conceal carry when I’m home out in the country i open carry.

[amypaquette]

I always conceal carry in public! And open carry on my own property

What would you recommend for open carry even if conceal carry is better?

[BowNotBayOh]

That’s why I open carry a Single Action revolver. Only some people know the pull the hammer back first

So bad actors prefer to attack an armed guy more than an unarmed? Is that what you are saying?

[mattwantsatesla]

"people can grab it" right that's why retention holsters exist.

[jacklawson]

I would personally only feel comfortable open carrying with a level 3 ALS holster

[uncommon_korean]

Not all but most people that open carry have some type of complex or ego like “hey…look at me I carry a gun I’m so cool”. The rest watched too many fucking cowboy movies growing up with their maw and paw 🤣

I agree with you, but I also feel that the gun community should open carry from time to time. We need the community to get used to guns again and get back to feeling safe, knowing that there are good people carrying and protecting their communities. So yes, conceal carry is the smartest way to carry, but we all need to help change people's opinions on guns or lose our rights

Want to strengthen our second amendment and be a violent crime deterrence?, then start open carrying, concealed carry is reactionary and dangerous, open carry is a deterrence, why wait until you have to react when you can prevent by not even having to unholster your personal protection device.

They make secure/under the pants Holsters you know😅. If someone tries to grab my piece they're catching one of the meanest elbows.

the practice of concealed carrying firearms does little to enhance personal safety or uphold the principles of the Second Amendment. It creates a paradox where individuals feel empowered through concealment, yet remain targets of fear and societal expectations. Open carry not only embodies the true spirit of the Second Amendment but also serves as a powerful deterrent to crime. Embracing this philosophy fosters a culture of confidence and responsibility, allowing individuals to stand as true advocates for their rights, rather than cowering behind the veil of concealmen. Also concealing your weapon does nothing to strengthen our second amendment right. And for someone who open carries on a daily basis in Nevada, where open carry has been legal since 1864. It’s pretty normal around here. A lot of people actually practice open carry here, and that’s got me to carry. And there is yet for anything to happen that a lot of people claim will happen. Also remember their videos of concealed carriers having their firearms taken from them and being used against them as well, not just open carriers.

What if your open carrying out hunting??

[American--]

I just keep a good knife in my pocket with my pistol in my truck unless I am going somewhere for a while such as a restaurant or work ( I have to bring it to work in the navy lol)

[Tatterboy]

Apply this same logic to cops or armed security.

[ceejaicuenza]

If your only option is to open carry, make sure you have a level 3 holster

Are paintball and rubber bullets good for home protection?
