I wouldn't want to open carry for the simple fact that too many cops have the idea of shoot first ask questions later. And when they shoot and kill you, they don't have to plant a weapon on you because you already have it in plain sight. And there not exactly the most honest people in the world. Fuck that.
agreed. Some fcking jumpy rookie...
Today I'm walking along with shaved head, fanny pack, decent size, surveying every potential threat as I moved form bank to car...
And this cop starts cruising behind me like I"m the bad guy. The fanny was so I coudl pack the big glock with sweats while doin my banking... but it damn near got me gaffled. I did nothing wrong and waited for him to leave before leaving so he didn't tail me for a half hour.
But yeah, cops don't always understand there are good guys out there with guns. Shit hits fan, they're going apeshit on anything they see. Best bet in a messy shooting/robbery is to hit ground like everyone else and just shoot the closest bad guys first. They have zero loyalty once their friend pinkmists in front of them.
