The only real reason anyone carries concealed.

[Blueshell]

I agree that both concealed and open have their own merits.

The only defensive merit to CC is to ignore restricted areas. All other merits are offensive.

 

[Blueshell]

I don't like to carry open because it attracts attention and I lose my anonymity.

That isn't a real reason, it's just how you feel.

 

[Blueshell]

The real truth is that while both open and concealed carry have inherent advantages and inherent disadvantages there are many reasons that make each method of carry valid so it is up to each individual to choose which method of carry suits their needs.

The only defencive reason to carry concealed is to continue carrying at all in a 'gun free' zone.

All other reasons either serve an offensive purpose or are imaginary.

I do concealed carry most times.
Care to guess how I carry in "Gun Free" zones?
Simple, I don't.

We all chose how we carry for individual reasons. None of us need someone telling us what their perception of why we carry the way we do is.

A lot of people argue we don't 'need' guns, either. Your point?

Owning guns is legal, as is how I choose to carry, or for that matter, If I choose to carry.
My point is that I don't care what those that argue that we don't need guns think, just as I don't care what those, such as yourself think about how I choose to carry.

As is my telling those people their "reasons" are invalid.

The fact that you post proves you care. Please don't lie again.

I do concede that incidental CC, like putting your coat on, is valid, though that's not CC with intent to exicute a suprise counter attack, which is why most CC and is also illegal as hell.

How about I don't like tucking my shirt in?

The only real reason to carry concealed is to bypass laws that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Combine that with a host of other known reasons, and you can use it to get a Starbucks coffee for five bucks.

Sure there's a host of reasons, but only one of them is real, all the rest are imagined.

Righhhhhttttt.....

Yup.

Gee I really wonder where blues stands on OC/CC

So you want me to wear my gun belt out side my shirt like BDUs ?

Nope

Your example is perfect because nothing stops you from applying fashion to an OC style.

Your gun belt is just your belt, which is already in the belt loops of your pants. So you just attach the holster and *poof* don.

Not everyone wears pants with belt loops much less belts.

No, not a lie. I really don't care what you think.
I just replied to see if you were one of those blow hards that has to have the last word.

Blueshell,
Can you describe some of the imagined reasons for CC versus OC?
I can do whichever I wish, but I'm always interested in hearing what people think of their choices (aside, of course, from the fact that they always think they are RIGHT).
