I am a big 2A supporter but I am against open carry. It should be concealed. Why in the world would you want to open carry anyway. The bad guy see's your carrying and has a weapon and gets the jump on you and takes your weapon. These idiots protesting and open carrying firearms gives the 2A a bad reputation in my book. I guess they think they are tough guys by open carry. All it does is cause the anti gun people to flip out and may cause a disturbance. I just don't understand why you would want to open carry. Give me a reason.

Wonder why all LEO’s open carry. Seems like they should be dropping like flies...
I've exposed mine before on a gut feeling and both times the guys who set me off left. One I heard whisper to the other he has a gun under his shirt...I know for a fact it worked one time because the same to guys were caught later that evening after robbing another store. Also helped that I called one of my LEO buddies on duty and expressed my concern. I think everyone should open carry if they wish to.

So much wrong here, I can't even begin. I will say this: A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I see nothing in that wording that says "It should be concealed"

For how I see it is that you have your permit to carry concealed, then there is no need to carry open. like the OP stated about the bad guy. Too me the ones that dose carry open when they do not need to, dose it to show they are carry. When you out in the woods that is different. Not in other terms.

I agree with you up to a point. Unless I’m hunting or trapping my handgun is concealed. I really don’t understand the reason to open carry in public. For me, there is no good reason. But, the constitution says we have the right to do it so anybody that wants to should be able to.
I don’t particularly want anybody knowing I’m armed. And that includes LEO. I’ve been pulled over three or four times in the last 20–30 years and was armed each time. Cop didn’t ask and I didn’t tell. In my opinion, that’s the way it should be.
I agree that people open carrying ARs or any other weapon really in Walmarts and other public places are really not doing us any favors as gun owners. But again, their right to do so.
They have the freedom and the constitutional rights to act like idiots if they want to.
Eh...wot?

Yet after the last 2 displays of open carry nothing happened not a shot fired or person harmed.

When I happen to carry, I open carry, because I refuse to pay for permission from the crown to tuck it under m shirt instead of over. If it was free and didn't require a license I'd happily carry concealed.
