Concealed versus open carry

[Bob R]

open carry will only get you harrassed by police even if legal, and cause problems
with the public.y

So, is this your personal experience or just what you have heard happens local to you?

I have been OC here in E. WA for more than a few years now and yet have to be on the receiving end of "police harassment". Maybe they understand the law as well as those who open carry do, who would have thunk.

I normally carry concealed, but I see people open carrying quite often.

Just because they are open carrying I have no desire to "take them out first" or any such thing. I do believe that if someone is going to start something and they see someone has a firearm they will either wait until that person leaves or they will go somewhere else.

In my part of the world, I see someone open carrying a firearm at least 2 or 3 times a week. I would be willing to bet I come in contact with someone carrying concealed several times a day. Most people around here know this and I think that is why our crime rate is so low.

Suffice it to say that there are a significant number of people who agree with your assessment but also a significant number who strenuously disagree.

And dammit, they just found the thread.

Oh No, not again! I doubt this Thread will last very long.

Why didn't you do a search on your topic, it's been beaten to death many times before.

^^^Precisely^^^ Here's hoping this thread has a quick demise.

OK cancel thread...had idea it would upset so many...

Yes, it's a rather divisive topic that has been repetedly pummeled.
Request granted!
