[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 1986091, member: 24500"] I feel, (as a personal humble opinion) that concealed carry is the only advantage to carrying a firearm. It offers the best tactical advantage of surprise. I feel, that while open carry might change a perps mind about committing a crime, it's seems more logical that a criminal will use a tactical advantage of surprise to gain not only what they are initially after, but the possibility of another firearm. Criminals who seem stupid enough to commit crime probably won't have that inner monologue of conscience to determine "That person might shoot me." Instead, (still humble opinion, don't get all butthurt) I feel they would look for a way to gain more from the single act. I asked myself these exact questions when I was trying to determine what my personal stance on it would be. So I pit myself into a criminals mind. If I were going to rob a quick trip for a little cash, and I saw someone waiting in line with an openly displayed firearm... I'd walk in and shoot the lawful citizen to gain an additional firearm, arguably either A) Worth more than the till... Or B) A much better gat than what I'd currently be making my living with.
