Where I am (Ca), open carry can get you charged with felony brandishment. Having said that, I draw much quicker with an outside the waistband holster than inside the waistband for now.......but a large T-shirt can still cover an OTW holster although it would definitely print. Personally Id rather not want other people know I am carrying but those that do open carry dont bother me a bit. When I visit out of state friends its fairly common.

It's a 2 inch penis extension for 99% of them.

I'm not a gun carrier or fan of weapons but love the 2nd Amendment.
I have yet to hear one story about a lawful NRA member going and shooting up places 99% or more of all gun related murders are stolen or illegally obtained weapons. My first experience with open carry was in late 70's in Houston Texas. I had taken a trip in a tractor trailer from NJ to TX and while in a diner, a group of men with cowboy hats and boots all had their firearms on the table. Here in AZ I used to see it often when I first arrived in 2017 but I have seen none in the last 4-5 years. It's more common as you get further north in Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Carefree. I also spent two weeks in Havana Cuba in March/April 2000 and saw all the military with machine guns and rifles all over Havana at night. Felt incredibly safe. Never seen a citizen with a weapon in any country outside the US.

I use to open carry when I was younger. A lot of it depends on the laws. As it was legal for me to open carry but concealed carry required a permit.
I honestly prefer to open carry. It is easier and more comfortable than concealed carry. With open carry I can use my preferred weapons where size isn't an issue. Especially during the summer when I would be in shorts and t shirt or cut off. I don't open carry any more. Cause I got tired of every idiot that freaks out at the sight of a gun. It really shouldn't be a big deal if someone has a legal firearm. But our society has made everybody scared of a simple tool. |

The new micro peen is people in zero crime burbs with home security systems that announce "you are currently being recorded" as you walk by their beautifully manicured front lawn while out for a morning stroll
We've created a climate of fear |

Same reason everyone has lifted trucks and a monthly payment equal to their rent.

I probably wouldn't but I have zero problem with it.

Post office is a little more sticky. It wasn't a law to restrict carry in a post office until 1972 but in Jan of this year a federal judge in FL ruled it unconstitutional. As far as your very first sentence. That's BS.

There's just no smart reason to do it other than trying to show off or you have a hardon for arguing with anti-gunners. It's just for attention and nothing more. |

Same reason criminals usually don't try to rob gun stores or places/people that are likely to be armed. |

Met a man at one of our training sessions a few years back that had a physical issue with his left arm that allowed him only about 70% use of it. Consequently he had a very difficult time lifting his shirt with his left hand, making concealed carry problematic at best if not impossible. Ditto reloading, even racking took several seconds or even attempts. He had ful function of his right arm/hand. Open carry was his only real option.
