[QUOTE="Lycus, post: 365100, member: 3988"] I disagree with your logic. Given the choice, some may choose to carry openly - others my choose to carry concealed. Merely because I may choose to carry openly that does not mean the man nearby me lacks a firearm in his pocket. Also, considering the fact that the vast majority of the public is unarmed as it is (criminals know this), the likelihood a criminal's target will be unarmed is already absurdly high. Really, you believe someone is going to avoid attempting a pounce on their target merely because said target doesn't visibly have a weapon? It already happens all the time. Sure, if we were ideal and 60%+ had concealed weapons, that'd be a bit of a deterrent, but that's not how it is. Hell, if 60% of people were to wear their weapons openly, do you really believe coercive criminals would have the nerves they currently possess? Note also the poll question is not whether or not open carry should be the only option, but is it a viable one that should be permissible. [/QUOTE]
