    I always see open carry as a large target. IF I was the bad guy, I would go for the people with visible guns first.

      I understand open carry from a political statement perspective, but now that many states have constitutional carry, if you’re just carrying for protection it should probably be concealed.

        I’ll never be not amazed by this kind of discussion, however often I read them. :) Makes me a little happy to be on he other side of the atlantic ocean.

          I live in a European country with concealed(but not open) carry

              I would put money on Czech. Switzerland has very strict gun laws that make it so that you can’t really use your gun unless you are at a licensed firing range. Czech republic probably the most liberal gun laws in Europe.

        If you’re out in the wilderness hunting or in a place where you can be hunted (by bears, mountain lions etc) that’s understandable. Once I came across a hiker in the montains with a glock on his backpack shoulder strap for easy access in case of emergency. Nicest dude ever.

        I like the legal protection for people like that but the downside is it allows stuff like this post to occur in public places.

      When a stick-up kid knows a mark has a gun that is just a pay day. They aren’t going to do the stick up and then decide to get their gun out, they had that gun on you before you ever knew they were there.
