Do you support open carry?

And if so, what is your stance on concealed carry?


I'm definitely a pro-gun guy, but I don't like the idea of open carry in most public settings for reasons I have already posted. I would like to see how many other pro-gun guys like myself think that open carry is a bad idea.

I have a license for concealed carry, but I would never carry openly knowing it makes many people uncomfortable.

I would never open carry because I'd be the first one shot.

I live in Montana.
Open carry is legal, except for certain buildings and parks.
Concealed carry is legal, except in incorporated municipalities.
Concealed Carry Permits are "will issue". If you can legally own a gun, you can get a CCP which will allow you to carry concealed in any city in the state.

Own whatever you want. Keep it concealed unless you're actually using it. Desperately trying to draw attention to yourself and make a scene indicates you probably aren't mature and mentally stable enough to have it.

Picture this...
YOU are a Secret Service agent on the advance party for a Presidential visit. When you land in a certain town, EVERY pickup you see has a rifle or two on racks in the back window. Many of the drivers of these pickups have a holster on their belt, with a pistol in it, usually either a 1911 .45 ACP or a single action revolver.
When you complain to the County Sheriff, he tells you it is hunting season, you can't change it, you have to live with it. You spend the next week in a paranoid panic because of all the weapons in the area!

It happened, at least twice. no presidents were harmed.

Do you wear close?

I can guarantee you that it's more comfortable on a hot day to go swimming with no shorts. Do I get to do that? no, I don't, and it's because not everyone is ok with nudity.

I look at this the same way. most rational thinking people don't care that I have a johnson or a legal pistol on me, but they don't want to see it while ordering a grilled chicken club sandwich at Chick Fil A.
