I wouldn't open carry in public. It only identifies you to a criminal as a threat and you would be his first target. If it hit the fan, I'd be grateful he was there and the criminal would concentrate on him till I got mine out.

Open carry is usually a Hi Point in a Uncle Mikes Nylon holster with a CCW badge and pushing 320lbs laugh

Funny, I saw a guy coming out of Home Depot the other day with a double shoulder rig, a 1911 .45 under each arm. I just walked in unnoticed, possibly with a concealed Shield on my hip.

Have seen these type of questions before. Just anti-gun libs being jackwagons on social to feel better about themselves with "support" from like-minded people. When they're rebuffed then they all get on their soapboxes with each other.

A woman I know did this about a year ago while on a plane but with a guy in the seat in front of her reading a magazine story about AR-style rifles. She leaned up, took a photo of him, then posted on Facebook something along the lines of "I'm on a plane and this man is reading this. Should I be concerned???"

Of course, almost all her responses were "OMG, you should tell the attendant and have him removed!" or things along those lines. I asked why she was basically invading his space with a photo and trying to shame him, and that reading a magazine isn't illegal. A few others did, too. She eventually deleted the post.

Concealed carry IMO is better but I don't give two chits if someone's is openly carrying.

I have no problem with open carry and I also dont think it necessarily makes you a target. Robbing someone is a wolf vs sheep mentality. If they see another wolf is in the room they will most likely move on to a softer setting/target. Someone open carrying may stop a robbery without even knowing it.

Im a 2A guy and I dislike open carry.
Its usually the Hi-Point in an Uncle Mikes as mentioned.
I dont know this guy, dunno his training, makes me nervous.
I believe strongly in concealed carry.

My experience with open carry is that its a deterrent . I had two thugs to come into my shop with bad intentions until I turned for them to see what was on my hip and it prevented them from going any further with their intended actions

Open carry gives up the element of surprise. It also says, "shoot me first" in event of an armed robbery. No thank you. Concealed carry is the way to go.

If it wasnt for the greedy sheriff's department Alabama gunowners probably wouldn't be required to renew every year. You should be able to carry concealed without the annual pay to carry ordeal

The belt doesn't match the holster. That is a police fashion faux pas. He obviously doesn't need to be carrying.
