MSNBC crops him out of the story?

That being said this ass hole is almost as much of a problem as the gun grabbers.

How many people have been murdered or assaulted by open carriers?

Hard to say. BLM members open carried in the parade the day the Dallas police officers got ambushed. They were initially identified as suspects but gound some cops and turned themselves and their guns in and were cleared.

Where do I conceal carry? In a place where I might meet bad humans and it's legal to do so.

Using common sense is a huge plus in deciding what is the responsible way to exercise your rights.

You are correct. I don't know why anyone would want to open carry in public. They are just putting everyone including themselves in danger.

If I walk into an establishment and see someone open carrying, I walk out and go to the next store.

That's precisely the point though Fit...

You THINK you're in danger because someone is open carrying... when statistics show that open carriers actually ARE licensed and trained etc etc and only rarely are idiots like these guys... who STILL didn't hurt anyone... and because they're open carrying, you have the chance to choose to leave or come back later or whatever else...

It's the guy with the glock hidden in his waistband who (by an order of magnitude) isn't licensed or registered or trained and can also be idiots like these, but they are intentionally concealed carrying because they INTEND you harm.

Either way, the odds aren't high.... but the difference between a say 1 in 10mm chance (of being hurt by a concealed carrier) vs a 1 in 10byn chance (of being hurt by an open carrier) IS a massive difference... against you.

I understand the concern about open carry... but being ignorant/uninformed of the danger doesn't make you safer.

If a criminal were there, the first people he'd target would be the open carriers... and you'd likely be able to get away.


I'm not defending these guys... they're morons...
