Re: Interesting Psychology: Open Carry & The Weapons Effect
The article is worthless. I have opened carried since day 2 and have had only positive feedback save one neutral response When a person quietly said "John Wayne..." as he passed. He was dressed in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and looked like he walked off a movie set ...lol. Most do not notice. A handgun is a great equalizer people good and bad realize that it makes them think. I will continue to open carry as it was a hard won victory and is our right. Most people that come up to me to discuss OC are afraid to OC nothing more nothing less. They ask if people get mad, give me dirty looks, turn away as I walk up, are you nervous they ask?? No, no, no, no, I answer. "I don't know if I could do it "comes the response. I look at them in disbelief and that feeling has not lessened for me. Oh well. A story: I was helping my wife load the car with groceries one night. we were parked way out, new car and all, anyway I notice two people in a truck watching us as we loaded the vehicle. The minute I turned my weapon side to them the truck started and it pulled away. Coincidence, maybe, but they were scoping us out and I intentionally kept weapon side toward car for the 3-4 minutes we were loading up. Did not mention to wife as we were loading but she quietly noticed the same truck and once we entered the car we shared our stories. CC or OC is your choice. As for the now two others I have seen in the last year and a half doing OC , thank you.
