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.

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?

Because you're a dick would be my bet
