    I’m a little ok with this, a couple walked in to the supermarket and she had a Beretta in her shoulder holster, outside of her nice dress. Sure it was kinda sexy but…

    I was glad she and her wife were ready to protect each other or others, but I really don’t like losing the element of surprise and the possibility the gun can then be used against the owners if things go poorly.

    If you’re carrying, get the drop on dumbasses trying to fuck your day up.

      Some moron recently got disarmed and capped with his own gun recently. Dude died for no reason, the other guy didn’t even have a weapon, but had slick hands and capped the dude when he tried to get his gun back.

      Between that and people accidentally discharging their weapons into themselves/their homes/their workplaces, I’d be in favor for a ban on open/cc in general. Not that it really matters, but I’m also in a same-sex relationship and have never felt the need for CC/open carry anyways.

      I’ve never understood open carry. Only place I do so is in the woods.

      When Oklahoma passed open carry back in the day, I read about some dumbass cowboy walking around downtown Tulsa with six shooters. Robber just came up behind him, put a gun in his back, stole his guns.

      Even if it as legal in my state I wouldn’t do it. Why would you purposefully make the people around you uncomfortable?
