[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3081650, member: 9374"] As I've said many times before... open carry is legal in many many many states now. And exactly HOW MANY instances of this have we seen? I mean, across the country, truly, how many? Most people won't encounter a criminal in the commission of a crime at all. Ever. And factor in how many of those extremely rare instances are scouted out in advance by the criminal? Most of them aren't [I]The Italian Job[/I], they're smash and grab, or quick in and quick out, or what-have-you. How many people come in shooting? Or even READY to shoot? Almost NONE... like an infinitesimally small number. And how many of those incidents have we seen a criminal boldly step up and take out someone open carrying? Seriously... Most of the criminals out there are looking for soft targets. Just like our douche mass shooters. They're not looking to go into a place they know people are likely to be carrying. It. Just. Doesn't. Happen. I say carry how you like, how you're comfortable and simply be aware of your surroundings. Don't live in fear, and don't let fear of being stuck by a falling piece of toilet ice from an airliner keep you from going outdoors. Jus' sayin'. [/QUOTE]
