The Ten Commandments of Concealed Carry

No spelling for you

Need to check state law on the law of notifying an officer on a traffic stop. Some states require an IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION, while others require no notification.

Letting people know you are armed allows them to react to that fact. Especially if you don't know THEY are armed. Now, they could attack you before you can draw your own weapon. Others who know you're armed could use that fact to threaten someone because "my friend has a gun and he's gonna get you if you mess with me. Or, they COULD try to talk you into a situation into which you don't want to be drawn. If no one knows you are armed you have the advantage of surprise. If the bad guy concentrates on the cashier you have the opportunity to draw before he knows you are armed. If he knows you're armed, he may concentrate his attack on you instead of the clerk. Another scenario for you: Someone sees your weapon and either calls the police, tells the store manager, or, best of all, points to you and yells "He's got a gun!" The first two bring a bit of a hassle, the last could start a panic. And, for that matter, calling the police could start a major problem, too. I believe it was the Police Chief of Chicago who said his officers are trained to shoot anyone they see with a gun. Most Policemen wouldn't over react like that, but, who knows.

I'm not about to put words in his mouth, he didn't elaborate on what he might consider nonconfrontational.....

I was referring to the list, as were the remarks bashing Ayoob. I wasn't referring to the response you said you got somewhere else. There was no mention of being non-confrontational in the original list or in the edited version posted here. I don't think anyone here contemplates or condones using a confrontational attitude when they envision lawful open carry, so I think it would be safe to say we don't disagree with Ayoob on that particular point.

?..the reality that happens for me when I open carry daily is that the vast majority of comments/encounters with the public about my gun are positive.

I carry concealed and I've never had any encounters of any kind - ever.

Guess I'm just not an attention whore.

From most of the idiotic posts that you have made on this forum, you clearly are.

You cannot imagine the satisfaction I get from being called an idiot by someone like you.

wow, more evidence of your vapidity. like the man or dislike him he is usually spot on with his comments. I think he is far more credible as a contributor to the discussions here than you are. YMMV

How rich! I never called you an idiot. I said your posts were idiotic. Whatever conclusions you drew about yourself from that comment were yours and yours alone. What I called you was an attention whore.

Thanks for responding exactly as I expected. You win! You are just so clever aren't you, demonstrating your expert command of grammar and English?

I want to be just like you when I get old - you're not as dumb as I thought!

I don't know. The democratic party has stuck around far longer using pretty much the same tactics. It works for them.

Funny thing is that you think it is a competition for someone to win.
