Re: Open Carry = Target?

Not sure it has much to do with fashion. I'm more interested in practicality and comfort. I'm just not a vest guy.

Re: Open Carry = Target?

I've thought about getting a light weight safari jacket to throw on as a cover garment rather than tucking my my shirt around the gun most of the time. Just wasn't sure how comfortable it would be.

As far as the bat victim, even he thinks it was because he was open carrying. He said he won't do it in the future.

I think in some cases people will be targeted for their guns and others they won't. It comes down to situational awareness and being prepared. There is risk with Liberty.
IMHO, the Tampa Bay incident does not fit into the category that comes to mind when someone makes a statement about being attacked while open carrying. I maintain that people are talking about a criminal of some sort attacking an open carrier either to obtain the firearm or to aid the commission of a crime such as armed robbery. The anti-2A dude exhibited insanity for jumping on the OC guy just for having the firearm. I think of that one like a "do-it-yourself SWATing".
Fair enough. However, I think we should consider all targeting if we want to discuss whether "open carry = Targeting" as the title suggests. It's just targeting for a different reason.

Re: Open Carry = Target?

I would say open carry made this guy a target.

We all have to remember, there are exceptions to everything and nothing is 100% one way or the other.

Return to “Open Carry = Target?”
