Why Open Carry is a bad Strategy

[Bikenut]

99% of the time I cc the 1% when I oc is if I'm running around the woods working on the farm. I don't oc in public as a personal choice. I don't like people other than my wife knowing I'm carrying when I'm in town. In my town you can oc normally without any issue. However the new
Mayor is a big anti gun type so it's best to avoid any of that

Yes, let us run and hide from the anti's instead of fighting them. I understand.

I posted a thread on this earlier but I think it is applicable here.

What is Open Carry – Really

It is the beautiful bold face of the 2nd Amendment
It is the American flag to America’s enemies
It is the ultimate symbol of American freedom
It is Ronald Reagan’s “Tear down this wall!”
It is “in your face” to the anti-gun left
It is George Washington to the British
It is storming Normandy to the Germans
It is “Cinderella escaping ” to her Concealed Carry stepsisters

The Brady Group co-ops CC'ers opposition to OC and make it their mantra against all carry.

So you posted this here, and then turned around and started a new thread with these same words? Classic spamming.

Yeah, I get that a lot too.

So, I started a thread with it and used it in this thread in reponse to the opposition. Big deal! I've noticed DesertEagle that you have made the exact same argument against OC on numerous threads, so are you spamming?

I have a very simple question for the CC'ers who are so adamantly against OC..........

If a CC'er pulls his gun out from hiding and when the criminal sees it he decides to stop attacking and no shots are fired... what stopped the attack?"

I'll answer it for you.

The sight of the gun stopped the attack.

Here is another question......

So if the sight of a gun that was pulled out of CC hiding stops an attack already in progress exactly why wouldn't the OC'd gun in plain sight stop an attack before it even starts?

Edited to add:
I certainly hope someone beside crickets answers that last question...... but I'll not hold my breath while waiting.

That was post #307 posted .......... 02-07-2012, 03:05 PM

And as I expected the only reply has been from............


crickets.

If you browsed the forums, you would notice numerous people who express their same opinion in different threads. However, none of them post the exact same thing over and over again like you did. If you found something against OC by me, it was a while ago before I switched to the dark side.

Wouldn't you be more in the dark by being concealed and more in the light by being open?

I think that depends on if he got his cookies or not.
