[QUOTE="tranger2, post: 2234361, member: 10076"] I was in a business on the south side of OKC yesterday morning when I saw a man (customer, not business owner) wearing a long un-tucked shirt with the shirt pulled up on one side and his pistol exposed. I first thought his shirt rode up or he didn't realize it was exposed until I saw him four hours later when I went back in the same fashion. It made me think, why does he carry open? 1. Is he hoping for a deterrent effect? No one will attempt anything around him because he's armed? 2. Does he like the attention? the stares and whispers because it's still not a normal sight? 3. Because its his right to do so and he does it proudly? I have seen business owner's carry and know it is for a deterrent effect. I'm not trying to bash this guy, I really would like to know. I should have talked to him. Anyone here open carry and give me positive reasons. I carry about 80% of the time and have always felt concealed was right for me. [/QUOTE]
