I voted yes of course. I live in an open carry locale and open carry all the time. I can see both sides of the issue with respect to rights/scaring the sheeple/being prepared etc., so open carry but in a (hopefully) responsible manner. Which is to say, let not those people who may get scared (or harm me) see it, yet make sure all those people who are in a position to be requiring of me to be able to see it can see it. Subtle enough to be called responsible?
I don't see as much open carry since they started passing out ccw permits here. |

Open carry is legal in MN, but I see no reason to bring attention to myself.
Concealed is part of the advantage you have over the BG.

The attitude of most of the Texans I've known is one I can live with:
"Your gun is like your genitals: you have a right to both but we don't want to see either exposed in public." Plus I'm old and slow enough, open carry would make me look like a gun shop on the hoof. |

An armed population has never been enslaved.
I support open carry. The only ones who should be worried about seeing guns are the criminals, including the ones wearing suits.

I've been open carrying more recently. I have been conceal carrying for about a year, so I'm pretty comfortable with a gun attached to me.
I see both sides to it, but I can also educate someone of they ask me about it. If we don't exercise our rights, we will lose them. People show off a lot worse things than their gun in public. |

The poll is a false dichotomy/oversimplification of a complex issue, the question is leading and it's 7 years old.
3 Strikes.
