Carrying a gun for myself is a tactical decision. I don't want any one to know. I want to be the geezer who doesn't attract attention.
For some, carrying open is a political statement. Even to the point of being a little bit "in your face".
For some, there are even maturity issues.
For some, they have no choice, and for others they believe it offers a superior deterrent and simply choose to carry that way.
No question that open carry deters many bad people who'd do you harm. That's the case most of the time.
No question that, in some cases, with some bad folks, carrying in the open and losing your tactical advantage will mean your death. That's the case a small % of the time.
Hope you aren't one of those people who actual expect a difinitive answer. And if you really wanted to be informed about the subject, you could always look up the zillion threads and posts that discuss the subject.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
