Open Carry vs Concealed Carry

[tt11758]

I haven't open carried since I wore a uniform.  Personally I prefer the element of surprise.  Besides, as m58 mentioned, too many people are still scared to death of guns and the evil people who carry them.

I haven't open carried since I got my first CCW  in 1981, but the sissy people need to be acclimatized to it, We're here, we're KEEPING our rights and they BETTER just get over it.
After all, what are they going to do about it, there are 90 MILLION of us and we ALL have guns ?

While hunting or fishing I will open carry, though I mostly will conceal it. But I do agree with keeping the firearm concealed while in a populated area.

That's part of how we got INTO this situation, "Oh, we don't want to offend any one"
F#ck em., if they are such pussies that the mere sight of a gun gives them the shivering shits, they should just go some where and die, what are they going to do if some one actually speaks harshly to them, go into therapy ?

They're probably already in therapy.

Here's the reply I posted on CNN's site:

I fail to see what all the fuss is about. The gentleman was exercising his God-given rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. The fact is that he behaved himself perfectly. There were no attempts made on the life of the President. There were no shots fired an anybody or anything. The weapon was never used in a threatening manner. Much like most lawful gun owners in this country, he was polite and considerate. Let’s face it, an armed society is a polite society. If you don’t want to see the gun that somebody is carrying, look the other way……much as I do to avoid seeing the spandex that is stretched precariously over your cottage-cheese like thighs.

See, just because you can do something, doesnt mean you necessarily should.
