Open Carry has many fans, but when it comes down to a firefight, it will fail you.
When you Open Carry, you are signaling the world that you are prepared for a fight, even if you are just bluffing!
Bad Guys are not afraid of you unless you are actually ready to fight.
And they aren't going to give you that chance.
Combat Strategy demands that you have the offensive, the edge, the element of surprise.
Tactics learned on the conventional firing range are worthless in a real fight. The Bad Guys aren't going to give you time to get ready, and sight in on them. They want to win, at your expense.
Concealed Carry is the way to go on the streets. You get the element of surprise.

Anyone see a pattern, same subject, same day, all from low post count members. Hmmmm?
Ace_Developer:223430 said:Uniformed Cops open carry because everyone knows they have a gun.......why conceal it? Personally, I choose CC over OC. Although OC may give you a slightly quicker draw, you are announcing to the public that you think you can shoot.
"Cops" is the operative word here.
You are going to be fighting alone, not with a partner, backup forces, a dispatcher listening in, and an arsenal in the patrol car!
There is no comparision.
Do you realize the can of worms you've just opened up?
I too prefer concealed, but just because it's the carry method of choice for you and I that doesn't make it ideal for everyone.
Funny
My favorite carry pistol is considered a mousegun
Taurus pt145 45ACP compact
Perhaps you think that 10+1 45 ACPS won't hurt?
If I still had it, I'd OC the Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum I used to own, but I sold that many years ago.I really like my XD-45 4" but it's a little large for everyday carry.
