[QUOTE="Timberbeast7, post: 208328, member: 9700"] Do all the bars and whistles stop all criminals all the time.....no. By showing you have a gun you have lost the element of surprise. OK, so lets say instead of shooting you the bad guy singles you out pre-crime to take as a hostage, hit in the head, tie you up, etc, etc. Or, what if you're standing in a bank and Mr. 1 in 1,000,000, the one guy who is willing to kill somebody, walks in and sees you wearing a gun.......then what. If you are going to carry a gun for personal defense it would behoove you to get some training before carrying. If you are carrying it as a "show of force" of sorts, carry a baseball bat......by carrying openly you have lost many of a the advantages of carrying a gun. Not only is it illegal to openly carry in some states, it WILL draw a lot of attention to you from everybody, and thats not something you need or want in a hostile situation. [/QUOTE]
