[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 1930396, member: 24457"] Open Carry is not for everyone. If you aren't comfortable open carrying, then please don't. I'd say the same thing about concealed carry. If you aren't comfortable carrying at all, please don't. But when you examine all the "what if" scenarios, please remember that we have 43 other states to look at their experience over many decades, in some cases 2 centuries plus. If the "gun grab" scenario among non LEO types is so rare that it's statistically insignificant, then what makes you think OK will be any different? If the "criminal will shoot you first" scenario has NEVER HAPPENED ANYWHERE, then what makes you think our criminals are so much different? There are some undeniable benefits to either method of carry. There are some risks. Look at FACTS and make your decision based on what is actually likely to happen, rather than on some imaginary boogeyman that has never shown himself to even be real. Should you decide that OC is not right for you, then don't do it. Feel free to join us in ensuring that right, though. We will certainly mobilize to fight for your right to carry how you see fit if that is ever threatened. We will even welcome people to our get-togethers who don't OC. CC, OC or no-C. If you share an interest with us, then you are welcome. [/QUOTE]
