By and large, people who open carry are boneheads seeking to provoke a response.... why would anyone want to announce they are carrying
I don’t think that’s entirely true. There are enough boneheads OCing (job requirements excluded) to likely be a majority, but I wouldn’t say most of them are looking for attention. Too many are, but that could be one as far as I’m concerned.
The boneheaded stuff for me is crappy holster, crappy gun, no holster, poor location, no awareness of their surroundings. All that before I address physical appearance (which I’ll skip).
But the boneheaded behavior isn’t exclusive to the OC crowd. It’s a smaller portion but the CC crowd as a few idiots as well. I have a good friend, his uncle had a CHP long before I ever considered carrying as a daily behavior. We went somewhere together once and he was concealing a S&W Sigma 9mm. It was the full size. So naturally I’m thinking oh boy is that a gun under your shirt or are you happy to see me. Then we proceed into a store together where it falls out of his pants and hits the floor. Well as you could imagine I made a bee line for the door, and I avoided going places with him after that.
