[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 1856326, member: 10585"] I agree for the most part that your "untrained" or "opportunistic" criminals will move along to an easier target or not even notice. My previous job at Loomis I open carried either an XD or Glock in a serpa holster and was amazed at the people that took a min or two to notice I had a gun or acted surprised that I had one. In my current job, I am still a security guard, our uniform and equipment looks better than some police departments and I still get the surprised people when I talk to them for a couple of min and they realize I have a gun. I do however believe that if you were ever in the wrong place at the wrong time where a "professional" criminal wanted to commit a crime it might be a different story. Wanting open carry so you are protected if you print or if your gun pops out. That is honestly one of the silliest reasons for wanting open carry. As a cop would you ticket someone for printing? Or if you saw someone who was reaching for the top shelf at wal mart and their shirt came untucked? Has anyone in Oklahoma or any other state for that matter ever been prosecuted for accidentally printing or accidentally exposing their firearm? The open carry vs concealed carry debate is just like the tastes great/less filling Miller lite debate. Everyone has their own opinion and will more than likely not budge.
