Some of you may be aware of my views on firearms, as well as some recent interaction with a few of our Gungeoneer friends. Well one of them suggested I post a poll here, regarding Open Carry vs. Concealed Carry.

First of all, let us not get into the debate about carrying as a constitutional right. I think we all recognize how ridiculous that notion is. However, given the reality of the current situation and a right leaning SCOTUS, it would be interesting to see how people who care more about public safety than individual rights, might think.

Personally, I deplore the practice of CC. I prefer to know what I'm dealing with. As abhorrent as OC may be, at least one has the option to stay, leave or avoid. I like to conduct my own risk assessment.

These posts from Hockey Mom and myself sum up my thinking on the subject
