OK I asked in another thread what open carrying a long gun accomplishes and why exactly would you want to do that.
The first person to respond said (paraphrasing) that it’s educational and it desensitizes people and that it shows gun owners as normal folks. I didn’t necessarily agree but I was willing to concede that he had given an honest answer to my question.
But then the guy said (again paraphrasing) that the added benefit was that it pissed anti off (the pissed off part wasn’t paraphrased) antis. He then said he got off on watching the antis get all red in the face when people open carrying proved that they weren’t important ( I Didn’t understand that part entirely)
So basically when someone says you open carry (at least a long gun) to intimidate people you really can’t say that’s not true because this guy just said it is (at least for him) and I can’t get behind that no matter how hard I try. I validates everything I’ve ever heard an anti say about open carry.
